The HES HESCUT-MTK is a reusable metal template kit that standardizes door frame prep for HES cut-in electric strikes. It lays out the exact 4-7/8" ANSI jamb cutout so installers cut once, align perfectly, and repeat the result on every opening - faster installs, fewer errors, cleaner frames.
The kit pairs a durable ANSI-size template plate with eight model-specific lip templates covering the HES 1006, 1500, 1600, 4500, 5000, 5200, 7000, and 7501 series. The lip pieces slide to match varying frame reveal depths and support standard or D-offset strike preparations, and the all-metal, non-handed tool works on wood or metal frames and either door swing. Made in the USA and Buy American Act (BAA) compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which strikes does the HESCUT-MTK support?
- Eight HES cut-in series: 1006, 1500, 1600, 4500, 5000, 5200, 7000, and 7501 - each with its own lip template in the kit.
- Does it work on wood and metal frames?
- Yes - the templates lay out the ANSI cutout on either material.
- Is it reusable?
- Yes - the all-metal plate and lip pieces are built for repeated professional use.
- How is it different from the 9000-MTK?
- The HESCUT-MTK preps frames for cut-in (recessed) strikes; the 9000-MTK serves surface-mounted strikes such as the 9400 and 9600 and adds a magnetic backing for hollow metal frames.
- Does it fit both door swings?
- Yes - the tool is non-handed and needs no adjustment between left- and right-hand doors.
