Keedex K-BXES8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXES8 electric strike box actually for?
The K-BXES8 is a weldable steel housing that gets welded into a hollow metal frame or a gate post to hold a Trine 001 electric strike. The strike itself is the electric device; the box is the pocket it mounts into, so on a frame or gate that has no strike prep, this is what creates one. It ships as 14 gauge steel, unfinished for welding, and is a commercial part.
2) How much room do I need to cut for the Keedex K-BXES8 strike box?
Plan the cut around 1-1/2 inches wide by 6-1/8 inches high, with 2 inches of depth behind it. The depth is the number that catches people out: a gate post or a tube frame shallower than 2 inches will not swallow the box, so measure the tube section before you cut anything. Length and width are the face opening in the frame.
3) Can I mount an electric strike on a gate or an aluminum tube frame that has no strike prep?
That is exactly the job a weldable strike box does. You cut the opening, weld the K-BXES8 in, and the Trine 001 strike mounts into the box rather than into the frame material. It needs 2 inches of depth behind the face. Note that welding is the mounting method here, so it suits steel gates and hollow metal; it is not a screw-in box for an aluminum storefront jamb.
4) Is 14 gauge steel heavy enough for a strike box on an exterior gate?
14 gauge is the standard weight for a weld-in strike pocket and it is what the K-BXES8 is built from. Because it welds continuously into the post or frame, the assembly is as strong as the surrounding metal rather than depending on fasteners, which is the reason weld-in boxes are used on gates in the first place. It arrives bare, so prime and paint it after welding if it is outdoors.
5) Are there different sizes or finishes of the Keedex K-BXES8, or just the one?
One configuration only, model K-BXES8, at 1-1/2 by 6-1/8 by 2 inches in 14 gauge steel. There is no finish or handing choice to make. If your opening needs a different cutout size, that is a different Keedex box number, not an option on this one.
