The HES ES100 is an Aperio wireless integrated electric strike and card reader - a battery-powered retrofit that brings real-time online access control to an existing opening without running wire to the door. Built on the proven HES 1500/1600 strike platform, it combines the strike, an HID multiCLASS SE reader, and 2.4 GHz Aperio wireless connectivity in one unit that communicates with nearly any access control platform through an Aperio hub, with fully encrypted transmission.
Choose the 1500 Series body (1-3/8" depth) for cylindrical and mortise latchbolt locksets or the 1600 Series body (1-5/8" depth) to also capture deadbolts, with Complete Pac faceplate bundles for latchbolts (L), deadbolts (D), or both (S). The strike delivers 1,500 lbs of static strength and 70 ft-lbs of dynamic impact in tamper-resistant stainless steel, with dynamic field adjustability, a non-handed design, and fail-secure operation. It runs on two included AA lithium batteries (about 45,000 cycles) with a micro-USB port for emergency power, and reports door position, tamper, and battery health in real time.
Credentials cover 13.56 MHz smart cards plus NFC/BLE mobile access on BLE-enabled reader models, with a bi-color LED for status at the door. Rated IP65 for indoor or exterior inswing use across -25 C to 60 C, the ES100 ships either as a pre-paired lock and hub kit (no Aperio certification required) or as field-configurable components for certified integrators.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the ES100 connect to my access control system?
- Over 2.4 GHz Aperio wireless through an Aperio hub, with encrypted communication - compatible with nearly all major access control platforms.
- Do I need Aperio certification to install it?
- Not with the H kit versions - the lock and hub arrive pre-paired. Field-configurable component versions are for Aperio-certified integrators.
- Which credentials does it read?
- The built-in HID multiCLASS SE reader handles 13.56 MHz smart cards; BLE-enabled models add NFC/BLE mobile credentials.
- What happens when the batteries die?
- Battery health reports in real time so you can swap the two AA lithium cells early (about 45,000 cycles per set), and a micro-USB port provides emergency power at the door.
- Is it fail-safe or fail-secure?
- Fail-secure only - the door stays locked with dead batteries or power loss, and the mechanical key of the lockset always works.
- Which locks does it work with?
- Cylindrical and mortise latchbolt locksets on the 1500 body; the 1600 body with D or S Complete Pacs adds deadbolt capture.
- Can it be used outdoors?
- Yes - IP65 rated for exterior inswing openings, operating from -25 C to 60 C.
