HES 9000 SERIES: A Selection of Strikes for Most Installations

Life safety codes require the use of exit devices in specific situations, and most codes prohibit the use of any other lock or mechanism on the door that would prevent the use of the device or confuse the user.

The primary purpose of an exit device is to protect life safety by providing free egress to occupants of a building or room. These devices are designed for easy use, even in the dark.

The independent testing laboratories that test them require that they be relatively easy to operate, so they can be used by small children and physically impaired adults.

A rim type exit device is mounted on the surface of the push side of the door. If control of the door is required from the other side of the door, exterior trim is installed which communicates through the door to retract the exit device latch in the same way as pressing on the pushbar.

When electric locking and unlocking is required on a door equipped with a rim exit device, an electric strike is one possible solution. The electric strike can be installed in conjunction with a new installation or a retrofit situation.

Certain factors must be considered when selecting an electric strike for use with a rim exit device. One is whether the door is fire-rated, and the other is the distance from the head of the exit device to the door frame.

HES 9000 series electric rim strikes offer the installer a selection of strikes intended to meet most situations.
