HES 8000-12/24D Electric Strike Body (10720401) | Dual-Voltage Replacement Body for Cylindrical Locks
The HES 8000-12/24D Electric Strike Body, manufacturer part number 10720401, is a genuine HES replacement strike body designed for compatible HES 8000 Series electric strike installations. Its compact, concealed design provides dependable electronic access control for openings equipped with compatible cylindrical locksets while requiring little or no cutting of many standard door frames.
Operating on 12 or 24 VAC/VDC, the HES 8000 strike body features field-selectable fail-secure or fail-safe operation, a non-handed design, vertical adjustability and an internally mounted solenoid. It accommodates cylindrical latchbolts with a 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch throw and can be installed in compatible metal, aluminum or wood frames when paired with the correct HES faceplate.
Important: Strike Body Only
The HES 8000-12/24D is the electric strike body only. A faceplate is not included and must be ordered separately unless the existing compatible faceplate will be reused. Before ordering, verify the required faceplate style, door-frame material, lock type, latchbolt dimensions, electrical requirements and whether latchbolt monitoring is needed.

Why Choose the HES 8000 Series?
The HES 8000 Series is engineered specifically for cylindrical locksets and combines a compact strike body with a concealed keeper-pin locking design. With the appropriate faceplate, the strike can fit many standard frame preparations without the extensive cutting commonly required by conventional electric strikes.
Vertical adjustability helps compensate for door sag and alignment changes, while the non-handed configuration simplifies stocking and replacement. The strike ships in fail-secure mode and can be converted in the field to fail-safe operation when the opening, applicable codes and authority having jurisdiction permit it.
For an existing compatible installation, replacing only the electric strike body may allow the installer to reuse a serviceable faceplate and avoid purchasing an unnecessary complete assembly. The condition and compatibility of all reused components should be verified before installation.

Selecting the Correct HES 8000 Faceplate
The strike body must be paired with a compatible HES 8000 Series faceplate appropriate for the frame and lock application. Common faceplate configurations include:
| Faceplate | Frame Application | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| 801 | ANSI metal frame | 4-7/8 × 1-1/4 inches; square corners |
| 801A | Aluminum frame | 4-7/8 × 1-1/4 inches; radius corners |
| 802 | Cylindrical lock application | 7-15/16 × 1-7/16 inches |
| 803 | Cylindrical lock application | 6-7/8 × 1-1/4 inches |
| 805 | Wood frame | 9 × 1-3/8 inches |
Ordering guidance: Do not select a replacement faceplate based only on its overall dimensions. Verify the frame material, corner style, existing frame preparation, latchbolt position and required finish.

Installation and Compatibility Guidance
The HES 8000 is designed for compatible cylindrical latchbolts and depends on proper door, frame and latch alignment. The frame should be plumb and square, the latchbolt should retract smoothly, and the deadlatch must not interfere with the strike’s internal ramps.
HES specifies a minimum 1/8-inch gap between the door and frame for proper operation. Vertical adjustment and the supplied shim system can help address certain alignment conditions, but they should not be used to compensate for damaged lock hardware or a severely misaligned opening.
Professional installation is recommended. Electrical connections, fail-safe or fail-secure selection, fire-door requirements and egress compliance must follow the HES installation instructions, applicable building and life-safety codes, and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the faceplate included with HES 10720401?
No. The HES 8000-12/24D is the electric strike body only. The required faceplate must be ordered separately unless a compatible existing faceplate will be reused.
What is the difference between the 8000 body and the 8000C?
The body-only version does not include a faceplate. The 8000C is a complete electric strike package that includes the strike body and the standard 801 and 801A faceplates.
Can the HES 8000 operate on AC or DC power?
Yes. It supports 12 or 24 VAC/VDC. DC operation is continuous duty, while AC operation is intermittent duty only.
Is the HES 8000 fail secure or fail safe?
The strike ships in fail-secure mode and can be converted in the field to fail-safe operation when permitted for the opening. Fail-safe selection must comply with applicable fire, life-safety and egress requirements.
Is the HES 8000 handed?
No. The strike body is non-handed and can be used in compatible left- or right-hand door applications.
What type of lock works with the HES 8000?
The 8000 Series is designed for compatible cylindrical locksets with latchbolt throws from 1/2 inch through 5/8 inch.
Does this model include latchbolt monitoring?
No. This standard body-only model does not include the optional LBM latchbolt monitor. If monitoring is required, select the appropriate HES 8000-LBM configuration.
