The 9700 is an addition to 9500 and 9600 Series, and combines both windstorm and fire-ratings into one solution

HES, an ASSA ABLOY Group brand, is previewing an entirely new platform-based electric strike design along with the recently released 9700 Series strike at ISC East 2015.

The new 9700 Series is an addition to the popular surface-mounted 9500 and 9600 Series, and combines both windstorm and fire-ratings into one solution. The HES 9700 is the perfect complement to heavy-duty exit device solutions like the Corbin Russwin SecureBolt and Yale SquareBolt that are ideal for frequent use applications such as K-12, theaters, factories, government buildings and healthcare environments.

New 1500 and 1600 Series

The new 1500 and 1600 Series are the most advanced, heavy duty, flexible, electric strikes on the market today. These previewed designs were inspired by HES’s flagship 1006 and 4500 Series electric strikes, to create the next generation interchangeable platform. The platform features two interchangeable power modules for standard PoE friendly operation and an ultra-low power, EcoStrike operation. Both electric strike models are almost 100 percent recyclable, with easy in-field component replacements to help minimise the impact on our landfills. This new high-performance line will meet or exceed every standard or specification established for electric strikes, to accommodate all latchbolt and deadbolt lock brands and applications.

“HES has developed the most advanced electric strike platforms in the industry,” said Michael Webb, Vice President of New Product Development, ASSA ABLOY EMS&OEM Group. “Our engineers have gone above and beyond with the 9700 Series strike and the 1500/1600 Series platforms, they’ve really done an incredible job to deliver top notch product to our customers."
