Product Overview

Overview

HES 9500 Series is a 3-hour fire-rated, surface-mounted electric strike designed for rim exit devices with up to a 3/4-inch throw latchbolt. All components are encased in a low-profile 3/4" thick stainless steel housing, so no cutting of the frame is required for installation. Simply mount the 9500 on the frame surface, align with the exit device’s latchbolt, and secure – the separate base and cover make adjustments easy.


Technical Specifications

This strike delivers Grade 1 holding strength (tested to 1,500 lbs static and 70 ft–lb dynamic impact) for high-security applications. It exceeds ANSI/BHMA standards for durability with 1,000,000+ cycle endurance. The 9500 is field-configurable for either fail-secure or fail-safe mode and supports 12V or 24V DC input with plug-in connectors. (Note: For fire-rated installations it must remain in fail-secure mode.) The strike is UL 1034 outdoor-rated for exterior use and UL 10C listed for 3-hour fire doors, complying with NFPA 80 retrofit guidelines.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Surface-mounted 3/4” strike housing – Installs on the frame with no cutting or grinding (ideal for retrofit applications)
  • ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 strength – Tested to 1,500 lb holding force and 70 ft–lb impact resistance for high-security reliability
  • Stainless steel, tamper-resistant build – All-metal construction stands up to heavy use and deters tampering
  • Field-selectable fail-safe/fail-secure – Choose locking mode to suit life-safety vs. security needs (ships fail-secure by default)
  • Dual-voltage 12/24V DC – Out-of-the-box support for both 12V DC and 24V DC power inputs (simply switch plug connector)
  • Non-handed & adjustableHorizontal adjustment ability and a non-handed design ensure proper alignment on Left or Right-hand doors
  • Accommodates 3/4" Pullman latch – Compatible with standard rim exit device latchbolts up to 3/4" throw (e.g. Pullman-style)
  • 1,000,000-cycle endurance – Proven reliability through extensive life-cycle testing (maintenance-free operation)
  • Optional monitoring outputs – Supports add-on Latchbolt Monitor (LBM) and Latchbolt Strike Monitor (LBSM) for remote door status signaling
