Keedex K-BXES6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES6 weld box used for?
The K-BXES6 is a weldable steel box that gets welded into a hollow metal frame or gate post to house an electric strike, specifically sized for the HES 7001. It is the pocket and the mounting, not the strike itself, so the electric strike and its power supply are separate purchases. Built from 14 gauge steel and cut for an ANSI strike prep.
2) Does the K-BXES6 work with any electric strike or only the HES 7001?
It is cut for the HES 7001 and for ANSI strike prep generally, so a strike built to the standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch faceplate footprint is what this box is made to receive. If you are installing a strike with a different faceplate profile, match the box to that strike instead of trying to make this one work.
3) Do I need to weld the Keedex K-BXES6 in, or can it be screwed in place?
Welding is how this one mounts. It is a weldable 14 gauge steel box with no mounting tabs or screw provision, which is why it suits gate posts and hollow metal frames where a fabricator is already on site. If you cannot weld on the job, you need a surface mount or screw-in strike housing instead.
4) What else do I need to order with the Keedex K-BXES6 to finish the job?
The box alone. You supply the HES 7001 electric strike, the low voltage power supply, and the wire run into the post or frame. Plan the wire path before welding, because once the box is in the post the only access is through the strike cutout.
5) Is the Keedex K-BXES6 strong enough for a commercial gate or high traffic entry?
14 gauge steel is the substrate, and the box is rated for commercial use. On a swing gate the box carries the strike against every strike-side hit, so the weld quality matters as much as the box: continuous weld on all four sides rather than tacks.
6) Does the Keedex K-BXES6 have a handing, or does it work on left and right hand gates?
No handing on the box. It is a rectangular steel pocket welded into the strike side of the opening, so it goes in either way. Handing on an electric strike installation comes from the strike and the lock, not from this housing.
