Hes 5000c Electric Strike Cylindrical Latchbolt Grade 1

Product Description

The HES 5000c is a compact, high-performance electric strike designed for cylindrical latchbolt locks in commercial access control applications. It fits low-profile openings where space behind the jamb is limited. A unique keeper pin locking design delivers a 1500-pound holding force and a dynamic strength rating of 70 ft-lbs, allowing the strike to exceed the rated strength of the surrounding frame, door, and locking hardware. The unit is field selectable between fail-safe and fail-secure operation, accommodates latchbolts with up to 5/8-inch throw, and accepts 12/24 VDC or Power over Ethernet (POE) power input. Licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary tradespeople who specify and install this unit.

The 5000c is built for commercial-grade door openings on metal or wood doors fitted with cylindrical locksets. It is rated for 1,000,000 endurance cycles and carries a Grade 1 rating, making it appropriate for high-traffic commercial entryways such as office suites, server rooms, multi-tenant buildings, and similar controlled-access openings. The field-selectable fail-safe and fail-secure modes allow the installer to configure the strike to match the security and life-safety requirements of the specific opening without swapping hardware.
