Keedex K-BXES51 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES51 electric strike box used for?
The K-BXES51 is a weld-in steel enclosure that houses a Von Duprin 5100 electric strike in a hollow metal frame or a gate post. The strike itself is not part of it; the box is the pocket the strike drops into, giving the wiring and the strike body a protected cavity in a frame that has no factory prep. It is built from 14 gauge steel and is a commercial-duty part.
2) What size cutout does the Keedex K-BXES51 strike box need in the frame or gate post?
The box measures 2-3/8 x 5-1/16 x 1-1/2 inches (W x H x D), so the frame face has to accept a 2-3/8 by 5-1/16 inch opening and the frame cavity has to be at least 1-1/2 inches deep behind it. On a narrow tube gate post, measure the tube depth before cutting, a post shallower than 1-1/2 inches will not swallow the box.
3) Will the K-BXES51 box fit a Von Duprin electric strike other than the 5100?
No. The K-BXES51 is cut for the Von Duprin 5100 specifically, and Keedex makes a different box for each strike footprint. Match the box to the exact strike model you are installing, a 5100 box will not correctly hold a different-size strike body.
4) Does the Keedex K-BXES51 come with the electric strike, or do I order that separately?
Just the box. The K-BXES51 is the 14 gauge steel enclosure only, so the Von Duprin 5100 strike, the power supply, and the wire all get ordered separately. Budget the job that way, the box handles the prep and nothing else.
5) Is 14 gauge steel heavy enough for an exterior gate or a high-traffic entrance?
14 gauge is the weight Keedex builds these strike boxes in and it is a commercial-rated part, not residential trim. Once welded into the post or frame it becomes structure, and the strike is then anchored to steel rather than to a thin frame skin, which is the point of using a box instead of cutting the frame face directly.
6) Can I standardize on one Keedex strike box across a property with mixed openings?
Only where the openings all run the Von Duprin 5100. The K-BXES51 is model-specific, so a facility standardizing on strike boxes standardizes on the strike first, then buys the matching box. If some doors carry a different strike, those openings need the Keedex box cut for that strike instead.
