HES 4500-110 - Replacement strike plate

The HES 4500-110 is a genuine replacement strike plate engineered for HES 4500C Series electric strikes used in fire-rated door assemblies. Built from heavy-duty materials to match the durability standards of the 4500C, this strike plate maintains the Grade 1 security and fire-door compliance certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.31. It's designed to fill the jamb cutout precisely and work seamlessly with cylindrical and mortise locksets up to 3/4" latchbolt throw, ensuring your access control system remains reliable through thousands of operational cycles.

Why use OEM replacement strike plates for electric strikes?

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts preserve the integrity of your electric strike system. The 4500-110 matches the keeper pin locking design and strength ratings that enable the 4500C to exceed frame, door, and hardware specifications. Non-original plates can create gaps, misalignment, or binding that compromise the static strength rating of 1,500 lbs and the 100 ft-lb dynamic impact rating. Replacing only the worn component rather than the entire strike body extends the life of your commercial access control investment while maintaining UL 10C fire-door certification.

Compatibility with HES 4500C electric strike systems

This replacement is specifically engineered for HES 4500C Series strikes operating in 2" fire-rated door frames with 1/2" drywall penetration. The 4500-110 accommodates the dual keeper pin design and works with both fail-secure and fail-safe modes. It's compatible with the included faceplates that adapt to cylindrical locks, mortise locks, and various latchbolt throws. Before ordering, verify your door frame thickness and lock type to ensure proper fit. If you're unsure, consult the HES installation instructions or contact a certified installer.

Installation and fire-door compliance requirements

Installation of the 4500-110 requires access to the jamb cutout and familiarity with electric strike geometry. The plate must sit flush with the jamb surface, and keeper adjustments may be necessary depending on lock engagement and door closing force. For fire-rated applications, any modification to the jamb cutout compromises the UL 10C 3-hour fire rating. Only certified professional locksmiths or door contractors should perform replacement on fire doors. Non-fire-rated installations offer more flexibility, but proper alignment remains critical to maintain the 1,500 lbs static holding strength and prevent latch binding or nuisance strikes.

The HES 4500-110 replacement strike plate is essential maintenance for any commercial facility running HES 4500C electric strikes. Whether you're refreshing worn components or preparing for a retrofit, this Grade 1 fire-rated part delivers the security and durability your electric strike system demands.
