Description
HES 4500C-12/24-630 Electric Strike – Grade 1, 12/24V, Satin Stainless Steel
The HES 4500C-12/24-630 electric strike, manufacturer number 10530601, is a low-profile, heavy-duty electric locking solution designed for commercial access control applications using compatible cylindrical or mortise locksets. The 4500C combines stainless steel construction, dual-voltage operation, a compact 1-3/8" strike body depth and two interchangeable faceplates in one versatile Complete Pac.
Designed for installations where space inside the frame is limited, the HES 4500C Series accommodates latchbolts up to 3/4" throw and can be field configured for fail secure or fail safe operation. Its non-handed design, plug-in voltage connectors, keeper shims and included cylindrical and mortise faceplates help simplify installation across a wide range of access-controlled openings.

One Strike for Cylindrical or Mortise Lock Applications
A major advantage of the HES 4500C Complete Pac is the inclusion of two faceplates. One is designed for compatible cylindrical locksets and the second for compatible mortise locksets, allowing installers to use the same strike platform across multiple door hardware configurations.
The low-profile body is especially useful where available frame depth is restricted. The 4500C was designed to maintain approximately 1/2" drywall penetration even in a 2" UL 10C fire-rated frame.
Because lock geometry varies by manufacturer and model, confirm the existing lockset, latchbolt position and frame preparation before ordering or cutting the frame.

Listings, Ratings & Certifications
The HES 4500C Series carries commercial access control and fire-door listings appropriate for many demanding installations, including:
- ANSI/BHMA A156.31, Grade 1
- UL 10C positive-pressure fire test listing
- UL 1034 burglary-resistant listing
- UL 294 listed
- NFPA 252 fire door compliant

Important: HES specifies the 3-hour fire rating for fail-secure operation. Converting the strike to fail-safe operation negates the fire rating.
How Does the HES 4500C Compare?
HES offers several Grade 1 electric strike families. The right series depends on the lock type, environment and special requirements of the opening.
| Feature | HES 4500C | HES 1500 Series | HES 7501 Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 12/24V | 12/24V | 12/24V |
| Lock Type | Cylindrical / Mortise | Cylindrical / Mortise | Cylindrical |
| Maximum Latchbolt | 3/4" | 3/4" | 3/4" |
| Fire Rated | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Outdoor Rated | No | Yes | No |
| Preload Capable | No | No | Yes |
| Windstorm Rated | No | Yes | No |
The 4500C is particularly useful when a compact strike is needed for a cylindrical or mortise lock application. For outdoor or windstorm-rated openings, another HES series may be more appropriate.
Why Choose the HES 4500C-12/24-630?
The HES 4500C-12/24-630 combines a shallow 1-3/8" body, Grade 1 construction, cylindrical and mortise lock compatibility, dual-voltage capability and field-selectable fail secure/fail safe operation in one package. For access control installers who need flexibility without stocking multiple strike and faceplate combinations, the 4500C Complete Pac provides a practical solution for many commercial door openings.
