Keedex K-BXIL-RF – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXIL-RF gate box used for?
The K-BXIL-RF is a weldable steel mortise box that gets set into a gate frame or hollow metal tube so a mortise lock has something to mount into. It's the housing, not the lock. This one is cut for Kaba 700ii, 760e and E2000 radio frequency electronic mortise locks, and it takes a 2-3/4 inch backset lock.
2) How much room do I need in my gate frame or tube for the Keedex K-BXIL-RF mortise box?
The box measures 5 x 12 x 1-3/4 inches. The 1-3/4 inch dimension is the depth into the frame, so a square tube or gate stile has to be at least that deep on the inside to swallow the box, and you need a 12 inch run of clear stile with nothing else in the way. Measure the tube before you cut.
3) Does the Keedex K-BXIL-RF come with the Kaba lock, or do I order that separately?
The box only. K-BXIL-RF is the mortise housing prepped for Kaba 700ii, 760e and E2000 RF locks; the lock, cylinder, trim and any fasteners are ordered on their own. Plan on a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise lock from that family to match the prep.
4) Is the Keedex K-BXIL-RF box heavy enough for a gate that gets slammed all day?
It's fabricated from 14 gauge steel and rated commercial, which is the weight locksmiths use on exterior gates and high-traffic openings. It welds into the frame and carries the lock's mounting load rather than relying on the gate skin.
5) Can I use the K-BXIL-RF gate box with a standard mechanical mortise lock instead of the Kaba electronic?
Only if that lock matches this prep. The K-BXIL-RF is cut specifically for the Kaba 700ii, 760e and E2000 radio frequency locks at a 2-3/4 inch backset. A mechanical mortise lock with different case cutouts, spindle and cylinder locations won't drop in. Keedex builds separate box models for other lock preps, so match the box to the lock you already bought.
6) Is the K-BXIL-RF box handed, or does one box work on left and right gates?
Handing is set by the lock, not by the box. The K-BXIL-RF is a 5 x 12 x 1-3/4 inch steel enclosure prepped for the Kaba mortise case; you orient it in the stile to suit the swing and let the mortise lock supply the hand and the latch direction.
7) Do I have to weld the Keedex mortise gate box in, or can it be bolted?
These boxes are made to be welded into a steel gate frame or tube. The 14 gauge steel body takes weld without burning through the way a thinner shell would, and welding is what makes the box part of the frame so the lock isn't hanging on sheet metal. Budget for a fabricator or a welder on site if you're not cutting the gate yourself.
