ASSA ABLOY Electronic Security Hardware and ASSA ABLOY Group brand Adams Rite announces the release of the HES 9800 and Adams Rite 7800 Electric Strike. The HES 9800/Adams Rite 7800 Series is a low-profile, surface mounted electric strike designed specifically to work with the Adams Rite 8800 & 8700 Series Narrow Stile Rim Exit Devices and the EX88 Interlocking Rim Exit Device.
As the only electric strike compatible with the unique Adams Rite Starwheel and Interlocking latching mechanism, the new HES 9800/Adams Rite 7800 easily electrifies openings on aluminium storefronts, commercial perimeter doors and high-occupancy commercial facilities, and provides an electrification option for the Adams Rite EX88.
Dedicated power supply
“As one product offered by both legacy brands, the HES 9800/Adams Rite 7800 Electric Strike extends ASSA ABLOY’s commitment to provide more electric strike solutions for more applications,” explained Matt Branson, Product Manager, ASSA ABLOY Electronic Security Hardware. “Customers loyal to either HES or Adams Rite can use the HES 9800 or Adams Rite 7800 as a cost-effective way to upgrade an opening from mechanical to electrical. With no need for door modification, a dedicated power supply or wire transfers, there is less labour time spent installing the hardware.”
The HES 9800 Electric Strike expands the HES 9000 Family of surface mounted electric strikes to offer a new option to easily electrify a retrofit project
