Maintenance for the FA500 Strike

Under normal usage the 500 electric strike should be cleaned and lubricated once a year to maintain its reliability. In applications with high usage or dirty conditions, more frequent service may be necessary. Lubrication points are identified in the illustration. When servicing a 500, inspect the internal parts for excess wear for breakage and lightly lubricate per the instructions. Lubricate with HPG Grease , available here.

Note: Never lubricate any strike with oil, such lubrication collects dirt and forms an abrasive and sticky compound that may affect the function of the strike.

To Inspect and Lubricate the Strike:
  1. Remove the strike from the faceplate, held on by two(2) 10-32 x 3/8 FHPMS.

  2. Remove the front cover, held on by two(2) 4-40 x 3.16 FHPMS.  Removal of the front cover chould be done slowly, because the locking cam spring may snap out of place.  Also, care should be taken to insure that the baffle is not lost.

  3. Remove the cam spring and baffle.
