HES Electric Strikes – Reliable Access Control Solutions

Hanchett Entry Systems (HES) electric strikes are trusted by installers and security professionals for their strength, reliability, and smooth operation. Each HES electric strike is built for both commercial and residential use, giving you secure remote control over any door without affecting the integrity or fire rating of the frame. These are precision-engineered access control devices designed to last, perform quietly, and integrate cleanly into any system.

HES and Vista Series

The HES product family includes two main lines: the HES Series and the Vista Series. The HES line is the flagship range, known for its compact size, durability, and professional appearance. Multiple faceplate and finish options make it easy to match with cylindrical, mortise, or rim exit locks. The Vista Series offers the same dependable operation at a lower cost, giving you a practical solution when budget matters but quality still counts. Both options are designed to provide long-term reliability and straightforward installation for a wide range of access control applications.

HES 5000 Series

The HES 5000 Series Electric Strike is a low-profile solution made for door frames where space is limited. Its keeper pin locking mechanism gives it exceptional holding strength, often stronger than the frame itself. It works with both metal and wood frames and meets the most recognized safety and performance standards, including UL 1034, UL 294, and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certifications. Installers can configure the 5000 Series as fail-safe or fail-secure, depending on the project’s safety requirements. It is also compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems, allowing for remote operation using low-voltage network connections. The 5000 Series combines strength, flexibility, and reliability in a compact design that fits a wide range of door setups.

HES 8000 Series

The HES 8000 Series is built for high-traffic areas where durability is essential. It has been tested to over one million open and close cycles and can handle up to 1,500 pounds of static force. The 8000 installs easily without cutting into the frame and is compatible with cylindrical latchbolts up to five-eighths of an inch in throw. Like the 5000 Series, it meets UL 1034 and UL 294 standards, carries an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification, and supports both 12 and 24 volt DC or AC operation. The design is PoE-friendly, making it ideal for modern access control systems. Available in a wide range of finishes, it brings together strength, convenience, and a clean professional look.

Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure Operation

HES electric strikes can be ordered as either fail-safe or fail-secure models. A fail-secure strike stays locked when power is lost, keeping restricted areas protected. A fail-safe strike unlocks when power is lost, allowing safe exit during an emergency. The right choice depends on your building’s purpose and safety codes. In most cases, general access points use fail-secure strikes, while emergency exits and fire-rated doors use fail-safe designs. Always confirm local codes before installation to ensure compliance and safety.

Trusted Performance for Every Application

Both HES and Folger Adam electric strikes are proven, field-tested solutions for secure door access control. Whether you need a compact strike for an aluminum storefront or a heavy-duty strike for a high-security facility, these products deliver the right balance of strength, flexibility, and long-term dependability. With a wide range of finishes, voltage options, and configurations, you can find the exact match for your locking system and building requirements.
