Keedex K-BXSIM-EE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Keedex K-BXSIM-EE weldable gate box actually for?
It's a steel box that welds into a gate frame or tube so you can mount a cylindrical lockset on a gate that has no door stile to bore. The K-BXSIM-EE is cut for Kaba Ilco EE1000 Series cylindrical hardware with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and it accepts lever trim. The gate box carries the lock; it isn't a lock itself, so the EE1000 lockset is ordered separately.
2) Does the Keedex gate box work with a 2-3/8 inch backset lockset?
No. The K-BXSIM-EE is prepped at a 2-3/4 inch backset. A 2-3/8 inch backset lock, the common residential backset, will not line up with the prep. You need a lockset ordered in 2-3/4 inch backset.
3) Which material should I pick for a Keedex K-BXSIM weldable gate box on an exterior gate?
Three materials are offered: 14 gauge steel, .125 aluminum, and 16 gauge stainless steel. Match the box to the gate you're welding to, since you weld like to like: steel box on a steel gate, aluminum on an aluminum gate, stainless where the gate is stainless or the site is coastal or wash-down. Steel at 14 gauge is the heaviest of the three.
4) Can I use a Keedex K-BXSIM-EE gate box with a mortise lock or an exit device?
No. This box is cut for cylindrical hardware, specifically the Kaba Ilco EE1000 Series with lever trim. A mortise lock needs a mortise pocket prep and an exit device mounts to the gate face, so neither goes in this box. You'd need a gate box prepped for that lock type instead.
5) What else do I need to order with a Keedex K-BXSIM-EE besides the box?
The box ships as the weldable housing. You supply the Kaba Ilco EE1000 Series cylindrical lockset in 2-3/4 inch backset with lever trim, plus a strike or keeper on the receiving post and the welding to set it in. No lock hardware comes in the box.
6) Is the Keedex weldable gate box rated for commercial gate use?
It's a commercial-duty item, built for gates on commercial and multi-family properties where a cylindrical lever lock has to go onto a fence or gate frame rather than a door.
