Hes 18103498 Electric Strike

Product Description

The HANCHETT ENTRY SYSTEMS HES 18103498 is an electric strike designed for access control applications. Electric strikes replace the fixed strike plate on a door frame and allow the latch or bolt to be released remotely by an electrical signal, enabling controlled entry without requiring the door to be unlocked from the inside. This unit is sold individually and is installed by licensed locksmiths, security integrators, and electricians working on commercial or institutional access control systems.

Electric strikes of this type are commonly used in commercial door frames where controlled access is required at entry points such as offices, stairwells, lobbies, and secure areas. The 18103498 is configured for a specific door prep and latch geometry, making it appropriate for retrofit or new construction access control installations where a door strike replacement is needed in a frame-mounted position.

Key Features

• Electrically released strike allows remote latch retraction for controlled access
• Sold as a single unit, suited for individual door installations
• Designed for integration into access control systems requiring frame-mounted hardware
• Replaces fixed strike plates in retrofit or new construction scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade electric strike for commercial door frame access control applications. Verify door prep, frame type, and latch dimensions against product specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Electric strikes are typically installed by licensed locksmiths or security system integrators familiar with access control hardware and low-voltage wiring. Disconnect power to the access control system before beginning any installation or wiring work. Installation must conform to applicable local building codes and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requirements, particularly regarding egress door hardware. Verify frame mortise dimensions and latch compatibility before mounting to avoid frame modification.
