The HES 8000 Series is the concealed, no-cut electric strike for cylindrical locksets: no cutting on the frame at all. Remove the existing strike plate, set the vertical alignment feature to the latchbolt centerline, and install - the strike drops into the jamb with the frame untouched. A keeper pin locking design lets the 8000 exceed the ratings of the frame, door, and locking hardware.
Rated ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1 with 1,500 lbs static strength, 70 ft-lbs dynamic impact, and 1,000,000 tested cycles, the tamper-resistant, non-handed strike accommodates 1/2" to 5/8" cylindrical latchbolts (5/8" with a 1/8" door gap). Vertical adjustability compensates for door sag and misalignment, and the body width is slimmed to 1-7/16" with a 1-1/16" depth for broad frame compatibility in metal, wood, or aluminum jambs.
It runs on dual voltage 12/24 VDC/VAC (240 mA / 120 mA; DC continuous duty, AC intermittent) with a PoE-friendly draw, internally mounted solenoid, and plug-in connector. Order the strike body with a faceplate kit, or the 8000C Complete Pac bundling the 801 and 801A faceplates (630 finish only), with an optional LBM latchbolt monitor. Outdoor rated, windstorm certified, and backed by the SecuriCare 5 year no-fault warranty - 10 years with the SMART Pac III.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the no-cut installation work?
- Remove the existing strike plate, set the vertical alignment feature to the latchbolt centerline, and install - the frame is never cut.
- Which locks does it work with?
- Cylindrical locksets with 1/2" to 5/8" latchbolts. For mortise locksets, use the companion HES 8500 no-cut strike.
- Is it fire rated?
- No - for fire-rated openings, the HES 8300 is the fire-rated version of this no-cut design for cylindrical locksets.
- What if the door has sagged?
- The built-in vertical adjustability realigns the keeper to the latchbolt, compensating for door sag and misalignment.
- Can it be installed outdoors?
- Yes - UL 1034 listed and suitable for outdoor use, with windstorm certification.
- What power does it require?
- Dual voltage 12/24 VDC/VAC, 240 mA / 120 mA, PoE friendly. DC supports continuous duty; AC is intermittent only.
- What is included in the 8000C Complete Pac?
- The strike plus the 801 (ANSI metal) and 801A (aluminum) faceplates in one box, in 630 finish.
- What warranty does it carry?
- The SecuriCare 5 year no-fault warranty, extended to 10 years with the SMART Pac III power controller.
