Keedex K-BXMOR4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a weldable gate box like the Keedex K-BXMOR used for?
A weldable gate box is a housing you weld into a hollow metal gate or tube frame so a mortise lock has something to mount in. Gates and glass front frames rarely have enough material to prep a lock directly, so the box gives you the pocket. The K-BXMOR is the plain version: no trim hole and no cylinder hole are cut, so you drill it yourself for whatever lock, trim and cylinder you are running.
2) What backset does the Keedex K-BXMOR gate box give a mortise lock?
Backset is 2-3/4 inches, which is the standard commercial backset for a mortise lock, so a normal mortise body drops in without you shifting the lock line on the gate. Measure from your gate's stop face before welding, since the box sets that dimension permanently once it's in.
3) Should I get the steel or the aluminum Keedex K-BXMOR gate box?
Two materials are offered: 14 gauge steel and .125 aluminum. Match the box to the gate. Welding steel into a steel gate and aluminum into an aluminum gate keeps the weld sound and avoids dissimilar metal problems at the joint, so pick by what your fabricator is putting a torch to, not by preference.
4) Will the Keedex K-BXMOR take a cylindrical lockset instead of a mortise lock?
No. This box is prepped for a mortise lock at a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the 8-1/8 inch by 1-3/4 inch pocket is sized for a mortise body. A cylindrical or bored lock needs a gate box built for a cross-bore, not a mortise pocket, so order the cylindrical version if that's the lock on your gate.
5) Does the Keedex K-BXMOR come pre-cut for a cylinder and lever trim?
No. The K-BXMOR is the plain box, no trim hole and no cylinder hole. You lay out and cut those yourself to suit the lock and trim going in. That is the point of the plain version: it works with any mortise body and any trim pattern rather than committing you to one manufacturer's hole spacing. If you want the holes already cut, you want a pre-prepped version instead.
6) How thick is the metal on the Keedex weldable gate box?
The aluminum version is .125 gauge, and the alternate is 14 gauge steel. That's enough wall to hold weld and to carry a mortise body in a gate that gets slammed, which matters on a commercial property where the gate cycles all day.
7) Is the Keedex K-BXMOR gate box rated for commercial use?
It's a commercial-duty part, aluminum or 14 gauge steel, meant to be welded into gates and metal frames rather than screwed to a residential door. Property managers standardizing gate hardware across a site can spec the same box on every opening and vary only the lock going into it.
