Keedex K-BXDBL234-2W Hole Double Lock Box 234bs/218 14 Gauge Steel

Yes. The K-BXDBL234-2W double lock box is prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset with a 2-1/8 inch cylindrical bore, which is the standard prep for a common commercial knob or lever lockset. If the gate you are working on takes a 2-3/4 inch backset lock, this box will not line up, and you need the 2-3/4 backset version instead.

No. The K-BXDBL234-2W is the steel housing only, bored 2-1/8 inches for a 2-3/8 inch backset cylindrical lockset. You order the locksets separately, along with any cylinders or keying. Plan on the box, two locksets, and welding and finishing supplies to complete the opening.

Pull the old lockset and check two things: the bore diameter and the backset from the edge of the gate frame to the center of the bore. The Keedex box matches a 2-1/8 inch bore at a 2-3/8 inch backset. Then measure the opening the old box sat in, since the replacement needs to cover 4-3/4 by 8-5/8 inches with 2 inches of depth behind it. If the old box was a single, you will be cutting the frame larger to take the double.

A double box carries two lock preps in one weld-in housing, so a gate can take two cylindrical locksets, one above the other, in a single enclosure. On a tubular or ornamental gate that means one cutout and one weld instead of two boxes to align. If the gate only takes one lockset, a single box is the simpler part.

The K-BXDBL234-2W is built from 14 gauge steel and is a commercial-duty part. That is a weld-in structural housing, not a sheet metal cover, so it holds the lockset rigid and takes abuse at a swing gate or a perimeter gate that gets used hard. It ships as bare steel, so on an exterior gate it needs to be primed and painted after welding.

Not this one. The K-BXDBL234-2W is bored for cylindrical locksets, 2-1/8 inch holes at a 2-3/8 inch backset. A mortise lock needs a deep rectangular pocket and a different box entirely. Check the lock body you are installing before you cut the gate.
