Hes 10620454 Electric Strike Fail Safe Complete Unit

Product Description

The HES 10620454 is a complete electric strike assembly in a fail-safe configuration, designed for use with door body (DB) hardware in access control applications. Fail-safe operation means the strike releases and allows door passage when power is removed, making it suitable for installations where life-safety egress requirements dictate unlocked conditions during a power failure. This complete unit includes all components needed for a full replacement or new installation, reducing the need for separate part sourcing. It is installed by licensed electricians and access control technicians working on commercial or institutional door hardware.

This strike is intended for door body applications where an electric strike replaces or upgrades a standard mechanical strike. Typical installation scenarios include office entry doors, corridor doors, and other controlled-access openings in commercial buildings. The fail-safe configuration is commonly specified by security consultants and AHJs for doors on egress paths. Installers should verify door frame dimensions and strike cutout compatibility before ordering.

Key Features

• Fail-safe operation: strike releases upon loss of power for code-compliant egress
• Complete assembly: all components included for a full installation or direct replacement
• Door body (DB) format: configured for door body hardware mounting
• Access control compatible: integrates with standard low-voltage access control systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style complete replacement electric strike for door body hardware installations requiring a fail-safe electric strike configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified access control technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the door control circuit before beginning work. Verify that the door frame cutout and backbox dimensions match the strike body before final mounting. Local building and fire codes, including IBC egress requirements, should be consulted to confirm fail-safe operation is appropriate for the specific opening.
