Provide electric access control at a compatible rim exit opening without replacing the door’s exit hardware. The HES 9800 Series electric strike receives the latchbolt from rim exit hardware and releases it on command from the connected access-control system. Its surface-mounted strike format suits doors where an electric locking point is required while preserving mechanical egress through the exit device. The 9800 platform supports 12 VDC or 24 VDC operation and field-selectable fail safe or fail secure configuration. This allows the lock behavior to be matched to the opening’s life-safety and security requirements before commissioning. The 630 satin stainless steel finish provides a consistent architectural finish for exposed strike hardware at the frame. HES 9800-630-LBM adds latchbolt monitoring to the standard 9800 electric-strike function. The monitor reports whether the latchbolt is engaged in the strike, giving the access-control panel a distinct locking-status input rather than relying solely on a release command. This configuration is suited to monitored perimeter, tenant-entry, and controlled interior doors using compatible rim exit devices.
