Hager 2945 Universal Rim Strike – Electric Release for 4501 Rim Exit Device (BLK)
The Hager 2945 Universal Rim Strike is a purpose-built electric rim strike engineered to pair with the Hager 4501 rim exit device, converting a standard rim exit opening into an access-controlled egress point. Introduced in December 2024 as Hager's Universal Rim Strike, the 2945 enables electric release of the rim exit latch — ideal for commercial and institutional facilities that require credential-based door access without sacrificing panic-hardware egress compliance. A filler plate is included for a clean, finished installation. Finish: BLK (Black).
Facilities seeking rim exit device electric strike solutions will find the Hager 2945 a direct, hardware-matched complement to the 4501 series — no adapters or field modifications required. Comparable rim exit device categories include Sargent 8800 series rim exit devices and other commercial rim exit hardware, but the 2945 is configured specifically for the Hager 4501 rim device geometry.
