Hes 18103444 Fail Safe Electric Strike

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS / HES 18103444 is a fail safe electric strike designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door hardware systems. A fail safe configuration means the strike is held locked by electrical power and releases to an unlocked state when power is removed, making it appropriate for life-safety egress applications where free exit must be maintained during a power failure. Licensed locksmiths, access control integrators, and commercial door hardware technicians are the primary installers of this unit.

This electric strike is suited for commercial access control installations where fail safe operation is required by code or building specification. Typical applications include office buildings, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, and institutional environments where egress compliance and controlled entry are both priorities. The unit is sold individually and is intended for integration with an access control panel or door controller.

• Fail safe operation: unlocks upon loss of power to support life-safety egress requirements
