Keedex K-BXES16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES16 electric strike box used for?
The K-BXES16 is a weld-in steel gate box that gives an electric strike somewhere to live on a hollow metal frame, gate post, or fabricated jamb that has no factory strike pocket. It comes prepped for an HES 5900 strike and cut for a large ANSI strike opening, so the strike and its faceplate drop into the box rather than the installer cutting and reinforcing the opening on site.
2) Is the K-BXES16 heavy enough for a commercial gate or exterior opening?
It is built from 14 gauge steel and rated commercial, which is the weight installers use on gate posts and hollow metal frames where the strike takes abuse. The 14 gauge body is what keeps the strike pocket from deforming when the door or gate is pulled against the keeper.
3) Can I use a Keedex strike box on a swing gate instead of a door frame?
That is the common use. A gate has no jamb to mortise, so the box is welded into the post or receiver tube and the electric strike mounts inside it. Check that the post cavity clears the 1-3/4 inch depth and that the 5 inch height fits between your rails.
4) Do I need a different Keedex box for a smaller strike faceplate?
Yes, if your strike is not a large ANSI size. The K-BXES16 opening is cut for a large ANSI faceplate with HES 5900 prep, so a short faceplate strike will leave a gap in the box face. Match the box prep to the exact strike model you are installing rather than trying to shim a smaller keeper into this cutout.
5) Is the K-BXES16 sold in more than one size or finish?
One configuration only: model K-BXES16 in 14 gauge steel at 1-1/2 by 5 by 1-3/4 inches. There is no finish or size choice to specify. It is meant to be welded in and finished with the frame or post, so field paint after install.
