The HES 9600 Series is a windstorm-rated, surface-mounted electric strike designed to accommodate rim exit devices with a 3/4" throw latch. All components are completely encased within its 3/4" thick stainless steel housing. No cutting on the frame is required for installation. Simply place the electric strike on the surface of the frame, align it with the exit latchbolt, and install. The outdoor-rated HES 9600 is field selectable for fail secure and fail safe operation, and for 12 or 24VDC. The HES 9600 was the first surface-mounted electric strike designed with the strength and durability required to exceed the severe forces of ANSI Windstorm testing.
