Keedex KEEDEX-K-BXRHO-2W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXRHO-2W gate box used for?
This weldable gate box reinforces metal gates and doors for lever handle installation. It provides proper mounting structure for Schlage Rhodes and compatible lever sets with 2-3/4 inch backset. The box strengthens thin metal gates that cannot support lever hardware alone.
2) Which lever sets are compatible with this gate box?
This box fits Schlage Rhodes lever sets and many other brands with 2-3/4 inch backset. The 2-inch width accommodates standard commercial lever hardware. Verify your lever set specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit.
3) Does this gate box work for both left and right hand installations?
Yes, this gate box accommodates both left and right hand lever installations. The box design allows for proper lever operation regardless of handing. Configure the lever set according to your specific door swing requirements.
4) What finish options are available for this gate box?
Gate boxes typically come in mill finish steel for welding applications. After installation, you can paint or powder coat the box to match your gate finish. Prime all surfaces before applying finish coats for best durability.
5) What grade of security does this gate box provide?
The gate box reinforces the mounting area but security grade depends on your installed lever set. Use Grade 1 or Grade 2 lever hardware for commercial applications. The welded box construction provides strong attachment to metal gates and doors.
6) Are there any building code considerations for gate box installation?
Check local codes for gate hardware requirements including fire rating and accessibility compliance. Some jurisdictions require specific lever types for emergency egress. Verify that your completed installation meets applicable building and fire codes.
7) What additional parts do I need for complete installation?
You need the lever set, strike plate, and mounting hardware. Purchase your Schlage lever sets separately. The gate box provides the reinforced mounting structure but does not include the actual lever hardware or installation screws.
8) How do I properly install this weldable gate box?
Mark the lever set location on your gate using the manufacturer's template. Cut the required opening and position the gate box. Weld the box securely to the gate frame. Allow welds to cool completely before drilling holes for lever set mounting screws.
9) Does this gate box require maintenance after installation?
Inspect welds periodically for cracks or deterioration. Touch up paint or coating as needed to prevent corrosion. The gate box itself requires minimal maintenance once properly installed and finished. Focus maintenance on the lever set mechanism and moving parts.
10) Are there other Keedex gate boxes for different applications?
Keedex makes various gate boxes for different lever sets and backset dimensions. Other models accommodate different lever brands and mounting requirements. Browse our door hardware section for additional reinforcement options.
11) What gate conditions work best with this reinforcement box?
This box works on metal gates with adequate thickness for welding. Avoid very thin gauge metal that may warp during welding. The gate should be structurally sound and properly hung before adding lever hardware reinforcement.
12) What are the key measurements I need to verify before ordering?
Confirm your lever set requires 2-3/4 inch backset and fits within 2-inch width. Measure your gate thickness to ensure adequate material for welding. Check that your gate opening provides proper clearance for lever operation and strike alignment.
