Keedex K-DL38A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Keedex K-DLA armored door loop actually do on an electrified opening?
The K-DLA carries low voltage wiring from the door frame across to the door leaf, so power can reach an electric strike, electrified lock, or exit device on a moving door. It is armored flexible conduit, 18 inches long, with a 1/4 inch inside diameter for the wire run. The armor protects the cable from being pinched or cut as the door swings, which is what fails first when installers run bare cable across a hinge gap.
2) How much wire can I pull through a Keedex K-DLA door loop?
The wire path is a 1/4 inch inside diameter flexible conduit. That governs how many conductors you can pull, so size your cable bundle against a 1/4 inch ID, not against the 3/8 inch figure, which is the outside diameter of the armored loop itself. Plan the pull before mounting, since the loop is fixed at both ends once the frame and door plates are set.
3) Should I use an armored door loop or a concealed electric power transfer?
A surface armored loop like the K-DLA is the retrofit answer: it mounts on the face of the frame and door with no morticing, so you can electrify an existing opening without pulling the door or routing the hinge edge. A concealed power transfer needs the frame and door prepped for it, which usually means new construction or a door off its hinges. If the frame is already up and painted and you need power to the leaf this week, the surface loop is the practical route. If the specification calls for nothing visible on the opening, a surface loop will not satisfy it.
4) Does the Keedex K-DLA door loop have a handing, or does one part fit left and right hand doors?
No handing on the loop itself. It mounts to the frame at one end and the door at the other, on the hinge side, so the same 18 inch K-DLA works on a left or right hand opening. What you do need to settle is which side of the opening has your power source, since that decides which end lands on the frame.
5) What colors does the Keedex K-DLA armored door loop come in?
Four finishes: aluminum, black, duranodic, and white. The choice is about matching the frame, since the loop mounts in plain sight on the hinge side of the opening. Duranodic and aluminum blend with anodized aluminum storefront, black and white suit painted hollow metal frames and interior door frames.
6) Is the Keedex K-DLA rated for commercial door traffic?
It is a commercial product, which is the point of the armor. A door loop flexes every single time the door opens, and on a high traffic commercial entry that is thousands of cycles. The steel armor over the 1/4 inch ID conduit is what keeps the conductors from work hardening and breaking at the flex point.
