The HES 9000-MTK is a magnetic metal template kit for installing HES surface-mounted electric strikes. The template adheres magnetically to the frame, aligns the rim exit device latchbolt with the strike position, and marks exactly where to drill the mounting holes - a repeatable, accurate prep for every opening.
It serves the HES surface strike family - 9400, 9500, 9600, and 9700 Series - where no frame cutout is required and installation accuracy comes down to alignment and hole placement. The magnetic backing makes one-person layout on hollow metal frames simple, and the all-metal template is built for repeated professional use.
Features
- Magnetic backing holds the template on the frame during layout - no clamps or helper needed.
- Aligns the rim exit device latchbolt with the strike position before any drilling.
- Marks exact mounting hole locations for the strike.
- Serves the HES 9400, 9500, 9600, and 9700 surface-mounted strike series.
- Reusable all-metal construction for job after job.
