BEST EPT-5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I get power from the frame into the door for an electric lock without running an exposed cord?
An electric power transfer like the BEST EPT-5 is the concealed way to do it. The unit mortises into the frame edge as a narrow, shallow channel and carries the wiring through a flexible stainless steel tube from frame to door leaf. When the door is closed the unit is hidden, so there is no exposed loop of cable across the hinge side. The alternative is a surface door cord, such as the Securitron TSB-C door loop, which mounts on the face of the door and frame and needs no mortising, but stays visible. If the opening has to look clean, or the wiring is a tamper concern, the mortised power transfer is the one to run.
2) Will an EPT-5 power transfer work on an aluminum storefront frame, or is it only for hollow metal?
Wood, aluminum, and steel are all covered. The channel is narrow and shallow, which is what lets it go into an aluminum frame edge where there is not much material to work with, and the same unit goes into hollow metal or a wood frame. What decides the job is whether you can get the mortise into the frame edge on the hinge side and land the door half in line with the swing.
3) Is a BEST EPT-5 power transfer OK on a fire rated door opening?
For a labeled fire door opening, specify a power transfer that carries a fire rating on its own record. Of the concealed transfers ZenSupply stocks, the Securitron CEPT concealed electrical power transfer is the one we hold a fire rating on. Any device mortised into a labeled frame has to be acceptable under the door and frame label, so match the transfer to the opening's listing rather than assuming a concealed unit qualifies by virtue of being concealed.
4) What is the difference between the BEST EPT-5 and the Precision EPT-12C power transfer?
Both are concealed electrical power transfers in the EPT family. The BEST EPT-5 is a 5-conductor unit that holds up to 10 pieces of 22 gauge Teflon coated wire in a bundle up to 5/16 inch diameter, which suits a single electrified lock or strike plus a monitoring pair. The Precision EPT-12C is a 12 conductor unit with quick connect terminations, which is the one to specify when the door carries an electrified mortise lock, request-to-exit switch, door position switch and latch monitoring all at once. Count the conductors the opening actually needs before choosing between them.
5) What is the difference between the BEST EPT-5 and the Securitron EPT and SEPT power transfers?
All three are frame-to-door power transfers, and the differences are in cut and duty class. The EPT-5 is a stainless steel housed, 5-conductor unit with a flexible tube, mortised into the frame edge, rated to 120 degrees of swing. Securitron's EPT is a heavy duty transfer, and the SEPT is the square-cut version of it, also heavy duty, which matters when your frame prep is a square routed pocket rather than a radiused one. Match the unit to the prep you can actually cut in that frame, then to conductor count.
6) Do I need a quick connect power transfer, or is a hardwired one fine?
The EPT-5 is a hardwired unit: you route the conductors through the flexible tube and land them at both ends. That is fine on new construction or where the electrician is already terminating in the frame and the door. On a retrofit where you want the door leaf to come off without cutting wires, a quick connect version saves service time, and the Precision 12-conductor power transfer is the quick connect option we carry. If the door will be pulled for refinishing or lock swaps on a schedule, the quick connect earns itself back.
7) What gauge and type of wire should I pull through a BEST EPT-5?
22 gauge Teflon coated wire, up to 10 pieces, with the finished bundle no more than 5/16 inch in diameter. Teflon jacket matters here because the wire flexes every time the door opens and a standard PVC jacket abrades in a tube. If your lock draws enough current to want heavier than 22 gauge, you can double up conductors within the 10 piece count rather than pushing a larger single wire through the tube.
8) What is a heavy duty alternative to the BEST EPT-5 for a high traffic opening?
The Securitron EPT is a heavy duty electrical power transfer, and the Securitron SEPT is a heavy duty square-cut version whose square mortise prep suits frames already machined that way. The BEST EPT-5 uses a stainless steel housing with a flexible tube and is built for commercial doors in schools, healthcare and office buildings. On an opening cycled hard all day - a main entry or a hospital corridor - the heavy duty designation on the Securitron units is the distinguishing spec to weigh.
9) Which power transfer works on a door that swings past 90 degrees?
The BEST EPT-5 accommodates doors that swing open 120 degrees and remains concealed when the door is closed, so it covers openings with wall stops set back or doors that open flat against a corridor wall. It also installs in wood, aluminum or steel doors and frames. If the geometry of the frame prep is the constraint rather than the swing, the Securitron SEPT is a square-cut electrical power transfer and the Securitron CEPT is a concealed unit - both are worth checking against the prep the frame will accept.
10) If I am standardizing power transfers across a building, which one covers the most openings?
Two directions are worth pricing out as a standard. The BEST EPT-5 is a 5-conductor mortised transfer that takes up to 10 pieces of 22 gauge Teflon coated wire and installs the same way in wood, aluminum or steel frames, which makes it a consistent prep across a mixed building. The Precision EPT-12C is a 12 conductor quick connect unit, which is the safer single standard if some openings will later add request-to-exit, door position and latch monitoring. Standardizing on the higher conductor count means one frame prep and one part number even when the electrified lock changes.
11) Is the BEST EPT-5 power transfer rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The EPT-5 is a commercial door hardware item, built with a stainless steel housing and flexible tube for buildings where the door cycles all day. It shows up on access control openings in schools, hospitals, offices, and industrial facilities. For a house with an electrified lock on one door, this is more prep and more part than the job needs.
12) What finish does the BEST EPT-5 electric power transfer come in?
Bright chrome over the stainless steel housing. Since the unit sits in the frame edge on the hinge side and is concealed with the door closed, the finish is only visible when the door is open, so it does not have to match the lever and hinge finishes on the face of the door the way exposed trim does.
