BEST EPT-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires can I run through the BEST EPT-2 power transfer?
The EPT-2 is a 2-conductor power transfer, and the armored flex conduit accepts wire bundles up to 1/4 inch in diameter. That covers a simple power and return run to an electrified lock or strike. If you need to carry monitoring, request-to-exit, and card reader circuits on the same opening, two conductors won't do it. The Precision EPT 12-conductor power transfer with quick connect is the higher-count option for multi-circuit electrified trim.
2) Is the BEST EPT-2 a surface or concealed power transfer?
The EPT-2 is an armored flex conduit type, so the loop runs between door and frame rather than being buried in the edge prep. If the specification calls for nothing visible when the door is closed, look at a concealed unit instead. The Securitron CEPT is a concealed electrical power transfer and it carries a fire rating.
3) I need more than two wires through the door for a card reader and electric latch retraction - what power transfer should I use instead of the EPT-2?
The BEST EPT-2 is a 2-conductor power transfer, which covers a single power or control circuit. When the opening needs reader data, monitoring, and latch retraction power at once, step up to the Precision EPT-12C, a 12-conductor power transfer with quick connect ends from the EPT Series. Count your conductors at the lock and the reader before choosing - electric latch retraction devices alone often consume more than two.
4) The EPT-2 mortises into the door and frame - is there a power transfer that doesn't require cutting the frame?
The BEST EPT-2 is an armored flex conduit unit routed at the hinge location between door and frame. If you cannot prep the frame, the Securitron TSB-C door cord is a surface-applied alternative built as a tamper resistant door cord, mounting to the face of the door and frame rather than being let into either. Surface cords are visible and reachable, so they suit back-of-house and equipment room openings better than public corridors.
5) Is the EPT-2 the right choice for a fire-rated opening?
Anything crossing a fire door assembly has to be listed for that use, and the BEST EPT-2 is catalogued for commercial door hardware without a fire rating attached to it. Where the drawing calls out a rated opening, the Securitron CEPT concealed electrical power transfer carries a fire rating in its specifications. Confirm the rating against the door and frame label before ordering either one.
6) Where does an electric power transfer like the EPT-2 get mounted on the door?
At the hinge edge, between the door and the frame, so the conduit flexes with the door swing rather than being pinched. Leave clearance for full door travel and for service access later. Both ends of the eighteen inch conduit get secured so the door's movement pulls on the anchors, not on the electrical terminations.
7) Is eighteen inches of conduit enough for a standard commercial door?
Eighteen inches is the full length of the EPT-2's armored flex loop, which gives enough slack for the door to swing through its range without straining the conductors. Measure the run from your junction point in the frame to the wire entry in the door, plus the loop the door needs at full open, before you commit to this length.
8) Should I use a power transfer or a door cord to get power into the door?
A power transfer like the EPT-2 mounts at the hinge edge with armored flex conduit and is the usual choice on commercial openings where the wiring needs mechanical protection through repeated flexing. A door cord is the simpler surface option when concealment and heavy protection aren't required; the Securitron TSB-C is the tamper resistant door cord in that category. Pick the transfer when the opening sees traffic and the cord when the run is light duty.
9) What are my alternatives to the BEST EPT-2 if I need a heavy duty power transfer?
Two Securitron units are the heavy duty options: the EPT electrical power transfer and the SEPT square-cut electrical power transfer, both catalogued as heavy duty. The SEPT's square-cut profile matters when the frame prep is a square mortise rather than a radiused one. For a fire rated concealed application, the Securitron CEPT is the one to look at.
10) Do I need to check anything before running wire through the EPT-2 conduit?
Check the bundle diameter first. The conduit takes up to 1/4 inch of wire bundle, so if you are pulling several jacketed conductors plus a shield, measure the bundle before you pull it. Kill power before starting, secure both conduit ends so door movement doesn't load the terminations, then cycle the door through its full swing and confirm continuity.
11) What's the closest straight equivalent to the BEST EPT-2 from another brand?
The nearest like-for-like is the Securitron EPT electrical power transfer, a mortised door-to-frame transfer from the EPT Series rated heavy duty. Like the BEST EPT-2, it is a concealed unit installed at the hinge side to carry conductors across the moving joint. Match the pocket prep already in the door before you swap brands - the cutouts are not universal.
12) Our frame prep is a square cut, not the radius pocket the EPT-2 wants - what fits?
The BEST EPT-2 is an armored flex conduit unit set into a hinge-side pocket. If the existing prep in the frame is square, the Securitron SEPT square-cut electrical power transfer is built for that cutout and is rated heavy duty. Verify the existing pocket dimensions in the field rather than from the original submittal - retrofit frames are frequently modified.
13) Is the EPT-2 rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The EPT-2 is built for electronic access control on commercial openings, schools, healthcare, retail, government and multi-tenant residential buildings, where the armored conduit takes repeated flexing at a high-traffic door.
14) Can I use a door cord in place of the EPT-2 to save a frame cut?
They do the same job - carry conductors from frame to door - but they are not interchangeable in every opening. The BEST EPT-2 is a concealed armored flex conduit transfer, so the wiring is hidden and protected once the door is hung. The Securitron TSB-C is a door cord, exposed on the face of the opening, which is why it is described as tamper resistant. On a concealed-hardware or public-facing opening, the concealed transfer is what the spec usually means, even though the cord is electrically capable.
