Hanchett Entry Systems (HES)
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.
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.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Strike Dimensions: | 9" tall × 1.75" wide × 0.75" thick housing (229 × 45 × 19 mm). Surface-mounted design; no separate faceplate needed (integral cover conceals mounting screws). |
| Frame Application: | Mounts on metal or wood frames (hollow metal, aluminum, or wood). Includes 1/4"-20 mounting hardware (wood frame screws typically sourced separately). |
| Compatible Exit Devices: | Designed for rim exit devices (panic bars) with up to 3/4" throw Pullman latchbolts. (Fits most major rim panic hardware models.) |
| Holding Strength: | Tested holding strength of 1,500 lbs static; dynamic impact performance rated at 70 ft‑lb. Surpasses the ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1 high strength requirements. |
| Endurance: | Verified 1,000,000+ lock/unlock cycles without failure – ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic access points. |
| Fire Rating: | UL 10C 3-hour fire rated for single door applications (fail secure mode only); meets NFPA 252 (positive pressure) & CAN/ULC-S104 fire door testing standards.Note: If used in fail-safe mode, voids fire rating for that opening. |
| Electrical: | Power Input: 12 or 24 VDC (DC continuous duty) selectable. Current Draw: 450 mA @12VDC, 250 mA @24VDC (continuous). Accepts AC power via included bridge rectifier. Solenoid: Internally mounted, silent operation, rated for continuous duty. |
| Monitoring: | Optional internal sensors for Latchbolt Monitor (LBM) and Latchbolt Strike Monitor (LBSM) can be specified for status output. (Factory-configured models available with “LBM” or “LBSM” suffix.) |
| Handing: | Non-handed design – installs on left-hand or right-hand swinging doors without field modification. |
| Operating Temp: | -20°F to 125°F (-29°C to 52°C) operating range. Outdoor Use: Yes – UL 1034 listed for outdoor weather exposure when properly installed (housing is sealed stainless steel) |
| Construction: | Strike body and keeper are all stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. 3/4" thick one-piece housing design encloses all working components, protecting them from tampering or vandalism. |
| Weight: | Approx. 2 lbs [0.91 kg] shipping weight |
| Standards Compliance: | UL 294 (Access Control System Units) listed; UL 305 (Panic Hardware) listed for safe egress integration; RoHS compliant (lead-free). |
