Keedex K-BXES17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES17 strike box prepped for?
The K-BXES17 is a weld-in electric strike box cut for the HES 5900 series in a large ANSI strike prep. It gives the strike a finished pocket in a hollow metal frame or gate post so the strike body and its wiring sit inside the opening instead of being surface mounted.
2) How deep a frame or gate post do I need for the Keedex K-BXES17 electric strike box?
Plan on 1-3/4 inches of clear depth behind the strike face. That is the box depth, and the tube or frame has to swallow it plus room for the strike leads to turn. On a square gate post, cut the face opening for the ANSI prep and check the inside dimension of the tube before you strike an arc.
3) Will the K-BXES17 work with a strike other than the HES 5900?
Only if that strike uses the large ANSI strike prep the box is cut for. The K-BXES17 cutout is made for the HES 5900 in large ANSI format, so a surface strike, a 1500 series flat strike, or any device with a different faceplate footprint will not drop into it. Match the prep before you weld.
4) What gauge steel is the Keedex K-BXES17 strike box made from?
14 gauge steel throughout. That is heavy enough to weld into a hollow metal frame or a gate post and take the pull of a strike under load, which is why these boxes are specified on commercial openings rather than light sheet metal enclosures.
5) Can I use the Keedex K-BXES17 on a swing gate instead of a door frame?
Yes, that is the usual application. The box welds into a gate frame or post so an HES 5900 strike can be mounted on an exterior gate the same way it would be in a hollow metal door frame, with the strike body and wiring protected inside the 14 gauge steel housing.
6) Is the Keedex K-BXES17 strike box rated for exterior or commercial use?
It is a commercial-duty part, built from 14 gauge steel for hollow metal frames and gate applications. Keedex supplies these boxes unfinished for welding, so on an outdoor gate the installer primes and paints the box and the weld after it is in place.
