HES 1500C-BSP-LM Heavy Duty Electric Strike with Lock Monitor
The HES 1500C-BSP-LM Electric Strike combines the compact, heavy-duty performance of the HES 1500 Series with an integrated LM lock monitor and a distinctive BSP Black Suede Powder finish. Designed for compatible cylindrical and mortise lock applications, this low-profile electric strike accommodates latchbolts up to 3/4" while providing a fully finished appearance that blends cleanly with surrounding door hardware.
The 1500 Series provides dual-voltage 12/24V DC/VAC operation, field-selectable fail safe or fail secure configuration, non-handed installation and field-replaceable components. The LM monitoring option provides mechanical bolt-position feedback, making the 1500C-BSP-LM well suited for commercial access control openings where installers need both reliable electric strike operation and monitored latch engagement.
1500C-BSP-LM Product DetailsThe HES 1500 Series is a heavy-duty, low-profile electric strike platform engineered for cylindrical and mortise locks designed for standard 4-7/8" strike preparations. Its modular construction provides interchangeable faceplates and accessories, field-adjustable alignment and field-replaceable components for easier installation and service. The BSP Black Suede Powder finish offers a dark architectural finish for openings where black door hardware is preferred. The integrated LM monitor adds a single lock-monitoring switch that can be positioned to monitor mechanical bolt engagement within the strike pocket. |

LM Lock MonitoringThe LM option adds a single monitoring switch to the 1500 Series electric strike. This switch can be positioned to monitor mechanical bolt engagement within the strike pocket. In a latchbolt application, the LM monitor gives the access control system feedback indicating whether the latchbolt is mechanically engaged rather than simply confirming that the strike has been energized. This additional feedback makes the 1500C-BSP-LM especially useful for security-sensitive openings where latch-position monitoring is part of the access control design. |
Ideal ApplicationsThe HES 1500C-BSP-LM is designed for commercial and institutional openings requiring heavy-duty electric strike performance with lock monitoring.

HES 1500C-BSP-LM vs. 1500C-630-LM
The 1500C-BSP-LM and 1500C-630-LM use the same heavy-duty HES 1500 Series platform and both include the LM lock monitor. The primary difference is the architectural finish.
| Feature | 1500C-BSP-LM | 1500C-630-LM |
| Voltage | 12/24V | 12/24V |
| LM Monitoring | Yes | Yes |
| Finish | BSP Black Suede Powder | 630 Satin Stainless Steel |
| Best For | Black or dark architectural door hardware | Satin stainless steel door hardware |
Which finish should you choose? Choose the 1500C-BSP-LM when a black electric strike is preferred to coordinate with black or dark architectural hardware. Choose the 1500C-630-LM when satin stainless steel is the preferred finish. Both provide the same LM lock-monitoring functionality.
