HES 9400 630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the HES 9400 work on my door frame without cutting into it?
No frame cutting is needed. The 9400 is a fully surface mounted electric strike, so it screws onto the face of the frame and lines up with the rim exit device latchbolt. It goes on metal or wood frames, and the face plate is 9 inches with a 1-3/4 inch width and 9/16 inch depth, so you need that much clear flat surface on the stop side of the frame. That surface-mount approach is why it gets used on aluminum and hollow metal openings where a mortised strike would mean pulling or cutting the frame.
2) Can the HES 9400 be used on a fire rated door?
No. The 9400 carries no fire rating, so keep it off fire rated openings. For a rim exit device on a fire door, the Von Duprin 6111 is fire rated and UL 10C, and the Von Duprin 6300 is a fire rated surface mounted strike if you also need the no-cut surface mount that the 9400 gives you. The 9400 is the choice for non-rated openings, including exterior ones.
3) Is the HES 9400 electric strike rated for an exterior door?
Yes, it is outdoor rated under UL 1034, and every component sits inside a stainless steel housing with the solenoid mounted internally. That is the reason it shows up on gates, exterior storefronts, and perimeter doors where a standard interior strike would corrode or ice up. It is also UL 294 and UL 305 listed.
4) Do I have to order the HES 9400 as fail-safe or fail-secure?
Neither, you pick it at the door. Fail-safe versus fail-secure is field selectable on the 9400, so one part number covers both and you set it during install. That matters for stocking: a property manager or facility can keep a single strike on the shelf and configure it to whatever the egress and access control plan on that opening calls for.
5) What voltage and current draw does the HES 9400 electric strike need?
Dual voltage, 12 or 24 VDC, selectable at the strike, so it drops onto most access control power supplies without a separate part number. Draw is 0.45 A at 12 VDC continuous duty and 0.25 A at 24 VDC continuous duty. Size the supply from those numbers when you are running several strikes off one board. If you are switching it with AC, the 2001M plug-in bridge rectifier is the accessory for that.
6) What is the difference between the LBM and LBSM options on the HES 9400?
They monitor two different things. LBM is a latchbolt monitor, it tells the panel the latchbolt has retracted, which is how you know somebody pushed the exit device and used the door. LBSM is a latchbolt strike monitor, it confirms the latchbolt is actually captured in the strike, which is what you want when the head end needs to prove the door is secured, not just that it moved. If you have no monitoring requirement, order it with no monitor option. All three build out in every finish offered.
7) My door has a gap between the door and the frame, will the HES 9400 still line up with the latch?
That is what the spacers handle. The 9400 ships with a 1/8 inch spacer plate, and 1/8 inch plus 1/16 inch plates are included so you can shim the strike out to meet the latchbolt on a varying door gap. It also has horizontal adjustment built in for lining up to the exit device latch. If you need extras, the spacers are stocked separately as the 9000-108 (1/8 inch) and 9000-116 (1/16 inch).
8) Does the HES 9400 meet an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 spec for a government or institutional job?
Yes. The 9400 is ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1, listed under #E09731, #E09732 and #E09373, and it is RoHS compliant. Note that it is not fire rated and not windstorm rated, so on rated or storm openings it will not satisfy the spec no matter how the Grade 1 line reads.
9) Can the HES 9400 release under preload if the door is pushed against the strike?
No, the 9400 is not preload capable. On a door with heavy weatherstripping, a strong closer, or stack pressure that keeps the latch pressed against the keeper, the strike may not release while that load is on it. If your opening is under constant preload, that is the condition to design around before you pick this strike.
10) Is there a surface mounted electric strike like the HES 9400 that is fire rated?
Yes, the Von Duprin 6300 is a surface mounted Grade 1 electric strike for rim exit devices that is fire rated and 2,000,000 cycle tested. That is the substitution to make when the opening is a rated door, because the 9400 carries no fire rating. Where the 9400 wins is exterior work, it is outdoor rated under UL 1034 and stainless throughout.
11) The exit device has starwheel or interlocking latchbolts - will the HES 9400 work with it?
No. The HES 9400 is built for a standard Pullman latchbolt up to 1/2 inch on a rim exit device. For a rim device with starwheel or interlocking latchbolts, the Adams Rite 7800 is the electric strike made for that latch type. It looks like a substitute for the 9400 because both are rim exit device strikes, but the latch geometry is what decides it - match the strike to the latchbolt on the device already hung.
12) The opening is a labeled fire door with a rim exit device - can the HES 9400 be used, or is there another electric strike to specify?
The HES 9400 is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a different strike. Two Von Duprin options are fire rated for rim exit devices: the 6111, a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike running 12/24 VDC with fail-safe or fail-secure operation and a UL 10C fire rating, and the 6300, a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted strike that is fire rated and 2,000,000 cycle tested. The 6300 is the surface mounted one, so it is the closer swap if the reason for choosing the 9400 was avoiding frame cutting.
13) Is the HES 9400 strike handed, do I need to specify left or right?
Non-handed. One 9400 covers left hand and right hand openings, so you order by finish and monitor option only. For a fleet of doors that means no handing to track and no wrong-hand returns.
14) Will the HES 9400 hold up on a high traffic entrance?
It is built for it: 1,500 lbs static holding force, 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, and 1,000,000 cycles of endurance testing, which exceeds Grade 1. That is the spec set you want on a main entry, a stairwell, or a multi-family perimeter door that cycles all day. If your standard calls for a higher cycle count, the Von Duprin 6300 surface mounted strike is 2,000,000 cycle tested.
15) What else do I need to order to install an HES 9400 electric strike?
The spacer plates come in the box. Beyond that, the common adds are the SMB surface mounting box when you need a raceway or a fill on the frame face, the 9000-MTK metal template kit for laying out the mount, the 2001M bridge rectifier for AC input, the 2004M ElectroLynx adapter for plug-together wiring to the door harness, the 2005M3 SMART Pac III for surge and inrush control, and the 2006M plug-in buzzer where the user needs an audible release cue. None of those are required for a basic 12 or 24 VDC install.
16) Surface mounted or cutout electric strike for a rim exit device, which should I use?
Go surface mounted like the HES 9400 when you cannot or do not want to cut the frame: an existing opening, an aluminum or hollow metal frame you would rather not open up, a retrofit where downtime matters. You mount it, align to the latchbolt, and wire it. The tradeoff is that a 9 inch stainless plate sits proud of the frame face, so it is visible, which is why the cover conceals the mounting screws. If cutting the frame is acceptable and you want the strike out of sight, a mortised rim strike is the other route, and the Adams Rite 74R1 and 74R2 Ultraline strikes for rim exit devices are also field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure.
17) Can I standardize on the HES 9400 across a building, including interior doors?
For non-rated rim exit device openings, yes, and it standardizes cleanly: non-handed, one part covers fail-safe and fail-secure, and it runs on either 12 or 24 VDC, so a single stocked strike fits most of the fleet. The two places you have to break from it are fire rated doors and any opening under constant preload, since the 9400 is not preload capable and carries no fire rating.
18) What is a slimmer or simpler alternative to the HES 9400 for a rim exit device when a Grade 1 outdoor strike is more than the opening needs?
The Adams Rite 74R1 and 74R2 Ultraline electric strikes both serve rim exit devices and both offer field-selectable fail-safe/fail-secure operation, the same electrical flexibility the HES 9400 gives you. Like the 9400, neither Adams Rite model is fire rated, so they suit the same non-labeled openings. The 9400 remains the choice where you need outdoor rating, 1,500 lbs of static holding force, and a stainless steel body at 1,000,000 cycles.
19) We are standardizing electric strikes across a portfolio of exit doors, some fire rated and some exterior - can one model cover it?
One model rarely covers both conditions. The HES 9400 is Grade 1, outdoor rated, non-handed, and surface mounted so it goes on metal or wood frames without cutting, which makes it the exterior standard. It is not fire rated. For the labeled openings in the same portfolio, the Von Duprin 6300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty surface mounted strike for rim exit devices that is fire rated and 2,000,000 cycle tested, so it keeps the surface mounted install method consistent while satisfying the label. Standardizing on that pair keeps two part numbers instead of five.
20) The rim exit device sees latch preload from a closer or stack pressure - is the HES 9400 the right strike?
The HES 9400 is not preload capable, so an opening that puts pressure on the latch when the strike releases calls for a different specification. Within the rim exit device strikes, the Von Duprin 6111 and 6300 are both Grade 1 heavy duty models. Confirm the preload condition at the opening before ordering, because a strike that cannot release under load will read as an intermittent failure after install rather than a wrong part.
21) What finishes does the HES 9400 electric strike come in?
Eight: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and BSP black suede powder. Since the strike sits on the face of the frame rather than buried in it, the finish is visible, so match it to the exit device and the rest of the opening. 630 satin stainless is the common commercial pick and orders as 9400 630.
22) What separates the Adams Rite 74R1 from the 74R2 when replacing an HES 9400?
Both are Adams Rite Ultraline electric strikes for rim exit devices with field-selectable fail-safe/fail-secure operation, and both are non-fire-rated, matching the HES 9400 on that point. They are two distinct series - the 74R1 Series and the 74R2 Series - so the part number is the identity, not the family name. Order against the series that matches the device and frame condition you are working with.
