HES has introduced new monitoring capabilities to its 9800 Series of high-security, surface-mounted electric strikes with the addition of latchbolt monitoring (LBM) and latchbolt and strike monitoring (LBSM) options.

Increased access control

According to the company, this latest addition brings new, premium capabilities to the product series, including the ability to monitor latch, strike and door position and provide real-time status notifications on whether openings are securely closed or open, the strike is locked and the latch is correctly affixed.

Security personnel receive instant notifications on unauthorized access attempts or product malfunctions to maintain uptime proactively.

Additionally, the outdoor-rated 9800 with LBM and LBSM options can be integrated with existing access control systems for data and reporting on the current integrity of the opening, enhancing overall security and perimeter door reliability.

Electric strike capabilities

The 9800 is part of HES’s 9000 family of electric strikes, a line of no-cut solutions for applications with rim exit or tubular vertical rod exit devices.

The 9800 is the only electric strike designed to work specifically with the Adams Rite 8800 Rim Exit Device with unique Starwheel bolt interlocks door to frame for enhanced strength and to prevent jamb spread.
