HES 5104-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the HES 5104 lip extension come in?
Three extension depths: 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 1-1/4 inch. Measure the gap between the strike lip and the door face on your opening and pick the depth that closes it. The model designations run HES-5104-1/2, 5104-1, and 5104-1-1/4.
2) Is the HES 5104 lip extension rated for commercial door traffic?
Grade 1 and specified for commercial use, so it belongs on the same openings as the 5000 Series strikes it mounts to, including institutional and multi-family entries where the strike sees constant use.
3) Is a Securitron SAM surface mount kit an alternative to the HES 5104 lip extension?
No. The HES 5104 is an installation accessory for 5000 Series electric strikes, stacking in 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 1 1/4 inch increments to build out the strike lip so it reaches the door face. The Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories, part of the SAM Accessories series, and the Securitron SWB SAM Wood Bracket Accessories are mounting hardware for a surface-applied magnetic lock, and the SWB specifically adapts that mounting to a wood frame. They bracket a maglock to the header; they do nothing to the lip geometry of an electric strike, so a gap between strike lip and door still needs the 5104.
4) For a glass storefront door, does the HES 5104 lip extension apply or is a glass door accessory kit the right part?
It depends on where the lock lives. The HES 5104 is a Grade 1 commercial accessory that extends the lip of a 5000 Series electric strike mounted in the frame, and it is the part to reach for when the strike is set back from the door face. On an all-glass or narrow-stile glass opening where the hardware mounts to the glass leaf rather than to a strike in a hollow metal frame, the Securitron Glass Door Accessories, a Grade 2 part in the Glass Door Series, is the mounting family built for that condition. The 5104 only makes sense once there is a 5000 Series strike in the frame to stack it on.
5) If the electric strike releases but the door is not signaling exit, will a lip extension fix it?
No. The HES 5104 is a mechanical stackable lip extension, sold in 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 1 1/4 inch sizes, and it only changes how far the strike lip projects toward the door. Request-to-exit signaling comes from a switch in the lock or exit device: the Command Access REX-KIT-ML is a field installable request to exit kit for ML1-Series mortise locks, the CRSREXKIT-ED is a field installable request to exit kit for Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series devices with an SPDT switch, and the CYREXKIT-ED is a field REX kit for Corbin 5000 and Yale 7000 exit devices rated 5A. Pick the kit that matches the device already in the door; the 5104 addresses the strike-to-door gap, not the signal.
6) Do I need a lip extension or a power supply to get an electric strike working on a new opening?
They solve different halves of the job. The HES 5104 stackable lip extension is the mechanical fit part, adding 1/2 inch, 1 inch, or 1 1/4 inch of lip so a 5000 Series strike meets the door. Power is separate: the Adams Rite 4605 is a regular transformer taking 115 VAC to 12 or 24 VAC with a 40 volt-amp output, in the 460 series. A strike with correct lip projection still will not release without a supply feeding it, and a correctly powered strike still will not latch cleanly if the lip is short, so on a new opening the two are ordered together rather than one instead of the other.
7) Does the HES 5104 lip extension need any wiring or power?
No wiring. The 5104 is a mechanical piece that mounts to the strike body, an access control part by category but with no electrical connection of its own. Power goes to the 5000 Series strike as normal; the extension changes nothing about the wiring.
8) Is a mortise pin transfer an option instead of stacking lip extensions on an electric strike?
It answers a different problem. The RCI 9500/9501 Series mortise pin transfer is a tamper-resistant device rated 1.5A at 24VAC that carries power across the hinge edge to hardware in the door leaf, which is the approach used when the locking hardware is electrified in the door rather than in the frame. The HES 5104 is a Grade 1 mechanical installation accessory that builds out the lip of a 5000 Series frame-mounted strike in 1/2 inch, 1 inch, or 1 1/4 inch steps. If the design keeps the electrified device in the frame, the 5104 is the part that resolves lip projection; a pin transfer is only relevant once power has to reach the door itself.
