HES 5000-501-630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the HES 5000-501 electric strike fit an ANSI strike prep in a hollow metal frame?
That's exactly what the 501 faceplate is cut for. It measures 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches with square corners and a flat face, which drops into a standard ANSI prep in a metal jamb, and it's meant to work against a cylindrical lockset. The strike body behind it is only 1-1/16 inches deep, so it suits jambs with limited space behind the face. If your frame is aluminum, the radius-corner 501A faceplate is the one cut for that, and for wood you want the 504 with its four point mounting.
2) What latchbolt throw will the HES 5000 electric strike accept?
Latchbolts from 1/2 inch up to 5/8 inch. The 5/8 inch figure depends on having a 1/8 inch door gap, so measure the gap between door and frame before you commit, since a tight gap on a 5/8 inch latch is where these get returned. It's built for a cylindrical lockset latchbolt, not a mortise deadlatch.
3) Can the HES 5000 strike be set to fail safe or does it have to be ordered that way?
Fail safe and fail secure are field selectable on the 5000, so one part covers both and you make the call at install. Fail secure keeps the door locked when power drops, which is the usual choice on an exterior or a stair door; fail safe releases on power loss, which is what egress and some life safety schemes call for. Handing isn't a factor either, the unit is non-handed.
4) What voltage and current does the HES 5000 strike draw, and can I run it off my existing 12V access control power supply?
Dual voltage, 12 or 24 VDC/VAC, no jumper board swap needed. Draw is .24 amps at 12 volts and .12 amps at 24 volts, so budget accordingly on a shared supply. One limitation to respect: DC is continuous duty, AC is intermittent duty only, so if you're holding the strike energized (a fail safe setup, or a long unlock schedule) run it on DC. Connection is a plug-in connector.
5) Is the HES 5000 strike strong enough for an exterior or high traffic commercial door?
Static strength is 1,500 lbs and dynamic strength is 70 ft-lbs, and it's ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1, the top grade for electric strikes. It's UL 1034 burglary-resistant listed and suitable for outdoor use, plus UL 294 listed for access control. Endurance is rated at 500,000 cycles. It's a commercial unit, tamper resistant, with the solenoid mounted internally so there's nothing exposed to attack at the jamb.
6) The HES 5000-501 is just the strike body, so what else do I need to order to finish the install?
The 501 comes as a strike body with the faceplate for an ANSI metal jamb prep, and a trim enhancer is included. What you add depends on the opening. If the jamb needs cutting, the HESCUT-MTK metal template kit gives you the cutout. If the lip has to reach further out to the door face, three press fit stackable lip extensions are made for it: 5104-1/2, 5104-1 and 5104-1-1/4. On the power side, the 2001M plug-in bridge rectifier handles an AC source, the 2004M is the ElectroLynx adapter, the 2005M3 is the SMART Pac III, and the 2006M is a plug-in buzzer. If you want the whole kit in one box instead, the 5000C Complete Pac is the packaged version, in 630 finish only.
7) How much room behind the jamb does the HES 5000 electric strike need?
The strike body is 1-1/16 inches deep, which is the number that matters when the jamb is shallow or already crowded with a closer, wiring or a mullion. That compact depth is the reason the 5000 gets specified on low profile openings where a deeper strike won't physically fit. If depth still isn't there, the Locknetics NC450 is a no-cut strike worth looking at, and the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a low profile universal unit that ships with four faceplates.
8) Will the HES 5000 strike work with a mortise lock or a rim exit device?
No. The 5000 is built around a cylindrical lockset latchbolt, 1/2 to 5/8 inch throw. For a mortise lock, look at the Von Duprin 6210 (24 VDC fail-secure, UL 10C fire rated, Grade 1), the Securitron MUNL mortise unlatch strike, or the Von Duprin 6400, a Grade 1 modular unit that handles mortise or cylindrical. For a rim exit device, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor, and the SDC 30-4 is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt.
9) What fire-rated electric strike works with a cylindrical lockset when the HES 5000-501 cannot be used on a labeled opening?
The HES 5000-501 carries a Fire Rating value of No, so on a labeled opening choose a strike built for that duty. The Adams Rite 7240 is a fire-rated electric strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a fire-rated Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation. The Hager 2930 is a fire-rated Grade 1 electric strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage. All three accept the same cylindrical latchbolt the 5000-501 does, so the lockset on the door does not have to change.
10) What should I use instead of the HES 5000-501 on an aluminum storefront jamb?
The 5000-501 is prepped for metal and wood door frames. For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series is an electric strike for aluminum jambs with a flat faceplate measuring 1-1/4 inches by 4-7/8 inches, and the Adams Rite 7160 is an electric strike for aluminum jambs with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Both carry the same faceplate footprint, so the opening prep stays consistent with an ANSI strike cutout.
11) What electric strike works with a mortise lock if the HES 5000-501 is for cylindrical locksets?
The 5000-501 lock type is cylindrical. For a mortise lock, the Securitron MUNL Series Mortise UnLatch is a Grade 1 fire-rated electric strike, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for mortise locks running 24 VDC fail-secure with a UL 10C fire rating. If a single model has to cover both lock types across a building, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular electric strike for mortise or cylindrical locks, fail-secure, in satin stainless steel.
12) Can I get latchbolt monitoring on the HES 5000 strike?
Yes, as an option, ordered as LBM. That gives you a latchbolt monitor so the access control head end can see whether the latch is actually seated rather than just whether the door is closed. It's not part of the standard build, so specify it at order time. If you need dual monitoring instead, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 dual monitor strike, and the Dortronics 3300 Series has a latch bolt sensing switch with a 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch strike plate for ANSI prep at 12/24VDC.
13) What finishes does the HES 5000 electric strike come in to match the rest of my hardware?
Seven finishes across the 5000 series: 630 satin stainless steel, 629 bright stainless steel, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 bronze toned, and BLK black. That covers matching most existing lock trim on a fleet of openings. One thing to plan around if you're standardizing: the 5000C Complete Pac is only offered in 630, so if you need a non-630 finish, order the strike body rather than the packaged solution. The strike itself is stainless steel.
14) Can the HES 5000 electric strike be used on a wood frame?
Yes, the 5000 is listed for both metal and wood frame applications. The faceplate is what changes: the 501 is cut for an ANSI metal jamb, while the 504 (10 x 1-3/8 inches, radius corners) uses four point mounting specifically for wood installations, which spreads the load in a softer substrate. The Adams Rite 7170 is another option built for hollow metal and wood jambs with a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch faceplate.
15) Will the HES 5000 strike hold up if the door is under preload or the frame is racked?
No, the 5000 is not a preload capable strike. If your door sits against the strike under pressure, from a closer, wind, stack pressure in a stairwell, or a warped frame, a non-preload strike can bind and fail to release when energized. Fix the door condition first, or specify a strike built to release under preload. The 5000 does carry outdoor rating and UL 1034 burglary resistance, so weather exposure on its own is fine; it's the mechanical load on the keeper that isn't.
16) What is a Grade 1 rating worth on an electric strike for a multi-family or institutional building?
On the 5000, Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.31 is the highest of the three grades in that standard, which is what most institutional and commercial specs call for on a security opening. Behind the grade the numbers are 1,500 lbs static, 70 ft-lbs dynamic and 500,000 cycles of endurance, so it stands up to apartment entry or corridor traffic. It's UL 294 listed for access control system use as well. Note it's not a fire rated unit, so a labeled opening needs a different strike.
17) Is the SDC 15 Series a substitute for the HES 5000-501?
The SDC 15 Series is a value electric strike with 5/8 inch latchbolt capacity and 12/24 VDC operation, which lines up with the 5000-501 latchbolt and its 12/24 VDC supply. The difference is what the HES adds around that: the 5000-501 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, rated to 1500 lbs holding force and 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, field selectable fail safe or fail secure, and outdoor rated. Where the opening needs those numbers, the 5000-501 is the one that states them.
18) What is a simpler electric strike than the HES 5000-501 for a light duty interior door?
The 5000-501 is a Grade 1 commercial strike rated to 1500 lbs holding force with 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength. Where the opening does not call for that, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial electric strike with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy electric strike for special offset latch entry with fail-secure operation. Both are fixed fail-secure rather than field selectable, so the door stays locked on power loss and the mode cannot be changed on site.
19) Which Grade 1 electric strikes compare to the HES 5000-501 for standardizing across a facility?
The 5000-501 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, outdoor rated, 12/24 VDC. Peers that also state Grade 1 include the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty electric strike, the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike covering mortise or cylindrical locks. The Von Duprin 4211 is the closest match on lock type and voltage; the 6400 covers both lock types from a single model if the facility mixes mortise and cylindrical openings.
20) What electric strike works on an exterior gate where the HES 5000-501 would go on a door?
The 5000-501 is outdoor rated but is prepped for metal and wood door frames with a cylindrical lockset. For a gate, the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is an outdoor rated electric gate strike built for that application. Use the Camden where the hardware sits in a gate post rather than a door jamb.
21) Is there an electric strike that ships with multiple faceplates instead of ordering the HES 5000-501 faceplate separately?
The 5000-501 comes with the 501 faceplate at 4-7/8 inches for cylindrical locksets in ANSI metal jambs. If one part number needs to cover several different jamb preps, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with 4 faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with 8 faceplates. Both are fire rated, which the 5000-501 is not.
22) Is there an electric strike that avoids cutting the jamb the way the HES 5000-501 requires?
The 5000-501 is a strike body that sits behind the jamb at a 1-1/16 inch depth and needs the frame prepped for it. The Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike, which is the one to look at on an existing frame you do not want to modify. Where the frame can be cut, the Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are heavy duty electric strikes in the same US32D finish family.
23) What electric strike covers a pair of doors when the HES 5000-501 handles a single leaf?
The 5000-501 is a single strike for a cylindrical lockset in a metal or wood jamb. For a double door application, the Rockwood double door electric strike with a 3/4 keeper is a Grade 1 fire rated unit built for that opening. It is fire rated, which the 5000-501 is not, so it also suits a labeled pair.
24) Which electric strike accepts a 1/2 inch latchbolt instead of the 5/8 inch the HES 5000-501 is set for?
The 5000-501 accommodates a 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latchbolt, with 5/8 inch requiring a 1/8 inch door gap. If the opening runs a shorter latch throw, the SDC 25 Series is a value electric strike with 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility. For a full 5/8 inch throw on a fire rated opening, the SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated electric strike with 5/8 inch latchbolt compatibility and a radius corner faceplate.
25) Can I use the HES 5000 electric strike on an exterior gate or an outdoor opening?
It's rated for outdoor use and UL 1034 burglary-resistant listed, so an exterior door is within scope. Run it on DC if it will be held energized, since AC is intermittent duty only on this unit. For a true gate application rather than a door, the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is an outdoor rated electric gate strike.
26) Does an AC only electric strike substitute for the HES 5000-501?
The 5000-501 runs 12/24 VDC with DC continuous duty and AC intermittent duty only. The Trine 004 operates on 8-16VAC, fail secure, with a 6-1/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw, and the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC, fail secure, with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate. Both use a larger faceplate than the 4-7/8 inch plate on the 5000-501, so the jamb prep and cover plate change with them.
