Hes 4500C-606 Grade 1 Electric Strike Fail Safe Fail Secure

Product Description

The HES 4500C-606 is a Grade 1 electric strike designed for commercial door access control applications. It operates on 12 or 24 volts DC and supports both fail safe and fail secure modes, giving installers flexibility to match the security and life-safety requirements of the installation. The low-profile housing fits tight frame conditions where standard-depth strikes will not seat properly. The satin brass (606) finish suits bronze and brass hardware sets common in commercial and institutional buildings. Fire-rated construction meets code requirements for use in fire-rated door assemblies.

This electric strike is suited for commercial and light institutional access control installations, including office buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. It fits standard ANSI latch bolt applications on single doors with wood, hollow metal, or aluminum frames. The fail safe and fail secure dual-mode capability makes it appropriate for egress-controlled doors where the local authority having jurisdiction mandates one mode over the other. Licensed locksmiths, low-voltage electricians, and security integrators are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith, low-voltage electrician, or credentialed security integrator in accordance with NFPA 80 requirements when installed in fire-rated assemblies. Confirm fail safe or fail secure mode selection before final wiring, and verify that the selected mode complies with local egress codes and the authority having jurisdiction. Disconnect power to the access control panel before making any wiring connections to the strike. Do not force the latch bolt against the strike while power is applied during testing, as this can damage the keeper mechanism.
