Keedex K-BXES3A-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Keedex K-BXES3A strike box work with an Adams Rite 7100 electric strike?
The K-BXES3A is cut for the Adams Rite 7100, 7101 and 7140 electric strikes. It is the weldable box that goes into the frame or gate post so those strikes have something solid to mount into. If your strike is a different Adams Rite series, this is not the box for it.
2) Steel or aluminum Keedex strike box, which one do I order?
Two materials: 14 gauge steel and .125 gauge aluminum. Match the box to what you are welding it into. Steel box into a steel frame or steel gate post, aluminum box into an aluminum storefront frame or aluminum gate. Welding dissimilar metals is not a job you want on a door frame, so the choice is decided by the host material, not by preference.
3) Does the Keedex K-BXES3A include the electric strike, or do I buy that separately?
The box only. It is the weldable housing that receives an Adams Rite 7100, 7101 or 7140 strike, so you order the strike itself separately along with whatever power supply and release device the opening needs. Buying the box without confirming which of those three strikes is going in is the usual way this order goes wrong.
4) Can I use a Keedex weld box on an exterior gate rather than a door frame?
Yes, that is the common use. A weldable box gives an Adams Rite 7100 series strike a mounting pocket where there is no prepped frame, which is exactly the situation on a swing gate, a pipe post, or a fabricated steel jamb. Pick the material to match the gate: steel box for steel, .125 aluminum for aluminum.
5) Is the Keedex K-BXES3A heavy enough for a commercial opening or a public access gate?
Built for commercial duty in 14 gauge steel. Once welded in, the box carries the strike load into the frame rather than into sheet metal screws, which is what you want on a gate or entry that sees constant public traffic. The aluminum version is .125 for aluminum host material.
6) I am standardizing electric strike gates across a property. Is the K-BXES3A the same box for every opening?
It is the same box wherever the strike is an Adams Rite 7100, 7101 or 7140 and the cavity takes 2 3/8 x 5 1/16 x 1 3/4 inches. What changes opening to opening is material, steel or .125 aluminum, so a mixed property with steel service gates and aluminum storefront jambs needs both versions on the order, not one.
7) Does the Keedex K-BXES3A box need wiring, or is it just a shell?
The box is unpowered metal. It holds an electric strike, so wiring runs to the strike through the box, not to the box itself. Plan a wire path into the frame or post before you weld the box in place, because once it is welded there is no pulling it back out to fish a cable.
