Commercial Door Electric Strikes: HES, Adams Rite & Folger Adam
Modernize your facility's access control with our selection of commercial door electric strikes. At DoorwaysPlus, we carry the industry’s most reliable ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 strikes from HES, Adams Rite, and Folger Adam. These devices replace a standard strike plate, allowing a door to be electronically locked or unlocked via a keypad, card reader, or remote buzzer.
Our inventory is engineered for high-traffic environments and includes UL fire-rated options that maintain the integrity of your life-safety openings. Whether you are retrofitting a single office door or outfitting a secure hospital wing, our electric strikes offer versatile solutions for cylindrical, mortise, and rim exit device hardware in both fail-safe and fail-secure configurations.
Electric Strike by Use Case
For Cylindrical Locks
Electric strikes for cylindrical locks are the standard solution for converting traditional office doors into electronically controlled openings. We feature the versatile HES 5000 Series, known for its low-profile, "no-cut" installation that fits most standard frames. These strikes are designed to accommodate the latchbolt of a cylindrical lockset, providing a secure, tamper-resistant solution for interior office suites and retail storefronts.
For Mortise Locks
Mortise lock electric strikes are heavy-duty units designed for high-security and institutional applications. Because mortise locks have larger latchbolts and deadbolts, these strikes require a deeper pocket and a more robust faceplate. We stock the HES 1006 Series, the strongest electric strike in the world, capable of accommodating nearly every mortise lock on the market. These are the preferred choice for schools, hospitals, and government facilities.
For Exit Devices
Electric strikes for exit devices (or panic bars) are engineered to work with rim-mounted or surface vertical rod hardware. These surface-applied or recessed strikes, such as the HES 9600 Series, provide a reliable release point for high-occupancy exit doors. They are designed to withstand the high pressure of wind-loaded exterior doors while remaining compliant with all fire and life-safety egress codes.
Electric Strike by Series and Manufacturer
HES 5000 Series
The HES 5000 Series is a low-profile, Grade 1 solution specifically for cylindrical locksets. It is designed for tight spaces where there is limited depth behind the door jamb, fitting into a 1-1/16" strike body depth
HES 8000 Series
The HES 8000 Series is a no-cut concealed strike for cylindrical locksets. It features a unique design that allows it to be installed without any modifications to the frame, and it includes vertical adjustability to handle door sag or misalignment.

The HES 8500 Series is a concealed, fire-rated strike specifically for mortise locksets without a deadbolt. It provides a no-cut installation method for retrofitting access control into fire-rated frames.
HES 8300 Series
The HES 8300 Series is a fire-rated, no-cut electric strike designed for cylindrical locksets. It provides a 3-hour fire rating and installs without frame modifications, making it the perfect "problem-solver" for retrofitting fire-rated openings.
Folger Adam 300 Series
The Folger Adam 300 Series is an industrial-grade strike designed for extreme abuse. It is 3-hour fire-rated and features all-stainless steel construction, making it a go-to for high-security, heavy-duty applications.
Folger Adam 700 Series

The HES 1006 Series is widely considered the strongest electric strike available, exceeding 3,000 lbs of static strength. Its dual interlocking plunger design allows it to accommodate everything from standard cylindrical locks to 1" deadbolts.

HES 9600 Series
The HES 9600 Series is a surface-mounted strike designed for rim exit devices with a 3/4" throw. It is windstorm rated and requires no frame cutting, making it ideal for exterior doors in harsh environments.
HES 9500 Series
The HES 9500 Series is a fire-rated, surface-mounted strike for rim exit devices. Like the 9600, it requires no frame cutting but adds a 3-hour fire rating for code compliance on fire-rated door assemblies.
HES 9400 Series
The HES 9400 Series is a slim-line surface strike (only 1/2" thick) designed for rim exit devices with a 1/2" throw latchbolt. It provides a sleek, low-profile look for doors with limited space.
