Access Control for All Seasons

Installers, integrators, and facility managers face increasing challenges in protecting people and property. Adding access control to building exteriors and perimeters may provide a variety of challenges that must be taken into consideration: distinct requirements such as application, local weather considerations and codes, and budgets.

What locking proucts will withstand the weather? HES's UL certified outdoor, weather-resistant electric strikes can meet those needs.
How can you supply power to a remote exterior or gate? Consider power supplies from other ASSA ABLOY brands, like LifeSafety Power or Securitron.
What other weather-resistant products are needed to work with HES Electric Strikes? Electric strikes can quickly electrify an opening and can tie into an existing acess control system to work with a card reader or keypad. Door controls and operators and trim should be added as well. Consider products from other ASSA ABLOY brands, like Alarm Controls, Adams Rite, Securitron, and Norton.

NOTE: There are many factors to consider during a door hardware site survey: any existing hardware, the desired functionality of the opening, building codes, and more. Using proper site walkthrough techniques can help ensure appropriate door hardware solutions are identified, potentially saving both time and money over the course of an installation. Always consult your local AHJ for full codes and compliance requirements.

What is UL 1034 Suitable for Outdoor Use?

UL 1034 is a certification standard for access control locking devices, specifically electric strikes. It ensures that these devices meet rigorous safety, reliability, and performance requirements for both burglary protection and durability. Products with UL 1034 certification are tested to withstand forced entry and harsh conditions, such as:

Corrosion: Tested to ensure that salt-like corrosiveness won’t disrupt the operation of your opening.
Rain: Tested to withstand direct contact from rain and other forms of intermittent liquid contact.
Dust: Tested to perform during the dust storms and windy environments.
Temperature: Tested to perform in temperatures as low as -35C (-31F) all the way to 66C (151F).

The Following Electric Strikes are UL 1034 Rated and Suitable for Outdoor Use:

1006 Series | 1500 Series™ | 1600 Series™

The strongest and most versatile electric strikes available for cylindrical and mortise locksets.

These series of electric strikes are the strongest and most versatile in the market, adding an extra sense of security for an exterior opening that is exposed to the elements. They also meet the ANSI specification for windstorm rating, able to withstand high winds and gusts. This may be particularly helpful in certain geo-locations where these elements may present. The outdoor rating may also be particularly helpful in coastal regions when dealing with salty spray and mist. Ideal for high use/abuse applications.

5000 Series | 5300 Series

Compact, high-performance solution for limited space applications with cylindrical locksets.

Exterior openings with limited space, like gates or some walls, may present a challenge in mounting hardware while also considering outdoor elements. The low-profile 5000 Series has a strike body depth of 1-1/16” and is easy to install, making it ideal for these types of applications.

8000 Series | 8300 Series | 8500 Series

Concealed, no-cut solution for all cylindrical and mortise locksets.

The patented adjustability of these concealed electric strikes accommodates door sag and are particularly suited to openings where the health of the door may be poor. Ideal for an unprotected exterior door that is subject to elements like gravel and debris. Also advantageous for metal doors which will expand and contract under hot, damp or humid conditions, these electric strikes will still operate under those conditions even if the opening is taking a beating.

9100 Series | 9200 Series

Surface mounted, no cut solution for use with tubular, vertical rod exit devices.

When securing glass doors in outdoor or exposed environments, outdoor rated electric strikes are essential for maintaining both security, functionality, and longevity. These strikes are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring reliable operation while preserving the aesthetic and structural integrity of the glass. With UL 1034 certification, they offer durable, discreet solutions that keep glass doors secure without compromising their sleek appearance.

9400 | 9500 | 9600 | 9700 | 9800 Series

Low-profile, surface mounted, no cut solutions for exit devices.

Ideal for exterior/perimeter openings where exit devices are most often used because of code and occupancy requirements for free egress. These surface mounted strikes require no cutting on the frame for installation. Simply place the electric strike on the frame’s surface, align with the latchbolt and install. This is a great option for exterior openings which are typically made of hard-to-cut materials like concrete, brick, and cinder blocks and where the health of the opening may be subject to heat, humidity and moisture.

Windstorm ratings for the 9600 and 9700 mean that they can also sustain high winds and gusts, helpful in certain geo-locations.
