Keedex K-BXES14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES14 box used for with a Von Duprin 6112 electric strike?
The K-BXES14 is a weld-in steel box that houses a Von Duprin 6112 electric strike in a hollow metal frame or gate post, giving the strike a rigid pocket and keeping the wiring and solenoid body enclosed instead of exposed in the frame cavity. It is a commercial part, not a residential one, and it is the box only, so the 6112 strike itself is ordered separately.
2) How much space do I need to cut out for a Keedex K-BXES14 strike box?
Plan the pocket around 2-1/2 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches high by 2-3/4 inches deep, which is the outside size of the K-BXES14. The 2-3/4 inch depth is the number that catches people out: a shallow tube frame or a narrow gate post will not swallow the box, so measure the cavity behind the face before you cut.
3) Is the Keedex K-BXES14 box strong enough to weld into a gate post?
It is formed from 14 gauge steel, heavy enough to weld into a steel gate frame or hollow metal jamb and take the pull of a strike under attack without the pocket distorting. Weld it in on all sides so the box, not the frame skin, carries the load.
4) Do I need a strike box at all, or can I mount a 6112 electric strike straight into the frame?
On a prepped hollow metal frame with a factory cutout and backing, the strike can go straight in. A box earns its place on a gate, a tube steel post, or a field-modified frame where there is nothing behind the face to screw into and nothing enclosing the strike. That is what the K-BXES14 does, in 14 gauge steel at 2-1/2 x 9-1/2 x 2-3/4 inches, so the strike lands in a rigid pocket instead of a hole.
5) Is the K-BXES14 a Von Duprin part or an aftermarket box?
It is a Keedex part, model K-BXES14, made to suit the Von Duprin 6112 strike. Order it under the Keedex name, not Von Duprin, if you are matching a spec or reordering for a standardized set of openings.
