Arrow BX70 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Arrow BX70 strike box actually do, and is it the strike plate itself?
The BX70 is the box, not the faceplate. It's the metal housing that sits behind an ANSI strike in the frame mortise, enclosing the latch pocket so the bolt has a clean cavity to throw into and dust and debris stay out of the frame. You still need the ANSI strike plate itself; the BX70 is the dust box that goes behind it.
2) I need the strike plate itself, not just the box - what should I order?
The Arrow BX70 is the strike box only, the housing that sits behind the strike in the frame. For the visible plate, the Codelocks ASA Strike Plate is an ASA-format plate in stainless steel, which is the plate shape that matches ANSI strike preps. For deadbolt openings instead, the Deltana SP2753 is a 2-3/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch steel deadbolt strike plate and the Emtek 83223 is a standard deadbolt strike plate with square corners.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Arrow BX70 strike box from another brand?
The Kwikset 81640 is also sold as a strike box, and the Kwikset 81231-001 is a metal strike dust box, so both fill the same role of enclosing the bolt cavity behind the strike plate. The difference is application scope: the Arrow BX70 is a commercial replacement part built to pair with ANSI strikes, while the Kwikset boxes are catalogued against deadbolt strike plate use. If the door already carries an ANSI strike prep, the BX70 is the part matched to it.
4) The bolt is not lining up with the strike - is the BX70 the fix?
No. The Arrow BX70 is a fixed-fit strike box manufactured to tight tolerances for ANSI strike assemblies, so it does not provide alignment adjustment. For misalignment, an adjustable part is the right direction: the Kwikset 80318 is a full round adjustable strike and the Kwikset 81825 is a 6 way adjustable deadlatch.
5) I'm replacing an Arrow lock strike in an office building. Is the BX70 a genuine Arrow part or an aftermarket box?
Genuine Arrow component, sold as a factory replacement part rather than an aftermarket substitute, so it matches the fit of the original Arrow strike assembly. That matters on maintenance work where you're keeping the existing lock and strike and only replacing the damaged or missing box.
6) Do I have to replace the whole lock and strike assembly, or can I just swap the strike box?
Just the box. The BX70 is a drop-in replacement, so if the existing ANSI strike and lock are sound and only the box behind the frame is crushed, rusted or missing, you replace that one piece and leave the rest of the assembly in place. That's the usual call on a school or hospital door where you want the opening back in service the same day.
7) Can I use a residential deadbolt strike box in place of the Arrow BX70?
They are not interchangeable prep-for-prep. The Arrow BX70 is a commercial-grade part designed to sit with ANSI strikes, which use a larger frame cutout than a deadbolt strike. The Kwikset 81640 strike box and Kwikset 81231-001 metal strike dust box are listed for deadbolt strike plate applications, so they suit the smaller single-bolt prep rather than an ANSI mortise pocket.
8) For a healthcare or school corridor door, should I standardize on the Arrow BX70 or an ASA plate?
They work together rather than compete. The Arrow BX70 is the commercial replacement strike box for ANSI strike assemblies, used across office, educational, healthcare, retail and government openings. The Codelocks ASA Strike Plate is the ASA-format face plate in a stainless steel finish. Standardizing a facility on ANSI/ASA prep lets you stock one box and one plate style across the door schedule.
9) Is there more than one size or finish of the Arrow BX70 to choose from?
One part, one configuration: BX70. There's no handing, size or finish option to specify, since the box is concealed inside the frame behind the strike plate and never shows on the finished opening.
