Keedex KBXRHO8155 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Keedex K-BXRHO-8155 lock box used for on a gate?
The K-BXRHO-8155 is a weld-on steel lock box that houses a cylindrical lever lockset on a gate or other opening where there is no door stile to mortise into. It is prepped for a cylindrical lock at a 2-3/4 inch backset, with the lever prep positioned center to top of the box rather than centered in the 15-1/2 inch height. The lock lives inside the 14 gauge steel enclosure, so the box is the housing, not the lock itself.
2) Will a cylindrical lever lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset fit the Keedex K-BXRHO-8155 box?
No. The K-BXRHO-8155 is prepped at a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a 2-3/8 inch backset lockset will not line up with the cross-bore in the box face. Many commercial cylindrical levers ship with an adjustable or field-convertible backset covering both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4; set it to 2-3/4 before installing. If the lock is fixed at 2-3/8, you need a box prepped for that backset instead.
3) Can I use the Keedex K-BXRHO-8155 with a mortise lock or a panic device?
No. The box is prepped for a cylindrical lockset only. A mortise lock needs a deep rectangular pocket and a completely different case prep, and an exit device mounts to a flat face with its own pattern. For either of those, order a box built for that lock type; forcing a mortise case into a cylindrical prep is not a field modification worth attempting on 14 gauge steel.
4) What is the difference between the center-to-top lever prep and a centered prep on a Keedex lock box?
On the K-BXRHO-8155 the lever hole is set center to top, meaning it sits toward the upper portion of the 15-1/2 inch box rather than in the middle. That puts the lever at a normal operating height while the rest of the box body extends down. If you want the lever at the vertical center of the enclosure, you need a box ordered with a centered prep instead. The prep location is fixed in the steel, so it is an ordering decision, not a field adjustment.
5) Is 14 gauge steel heavy enough for a lock box on a commercial exterior gate?
The K-BXRHO-8155 is fabricated from 14 gauge steel and is a commercial-duty item, which is the weight normally specified for weld-on gate boxes on perimeter and access gates. It ships as bare steel fabrication, so plan on priming and painting after welding if the gate is exposed, since the weld area will be raw regardless of any factory coating.
6) Can I standardize a Keedex gate box on the same lockset I use on my building doors?
Yes, as long as the building standard is a cylindrical lever set that can run a 2-3/4 inch backset. That is the common commercial backset, so a facility keyed on one cylindrical lever line can usually carry the same lock, same keyway, and same finish out to the gate. The box takes the lock; keying stays with whatever cylinder you already specify.
