    Safety Technology International STI-6518 – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will an STI Bopper Stopper cover fit over my exterior keypad in an unheated parking garage?
    Temperature range on the Bopper Stopper covers is -40F to 250F (-40C to 121C), so an unheated garage, a loading dock, or an exterior wall is within range. They surface mount over the device with the included hardware and gasket, and the polycarbonate shell is what takes the hit instead of the keypad.
    2) Which Bopper Stopper size do I need to clear my device?
    Five footprints cover the range. The STI-6518 measures 6.40 x 4.16 x 2.03 inches. The STI-6520 is 8.5 x 4.18 x 3.12, the STI-6521 is 8.3 x 4.18 x 3.12, and the STI-6522 is 5.5 x 4.18 x 3.12, all sharing the same width and depth so they differ only in height. The STI-6529 is the widest at 6.57 x 5.43 x 2.67 inches, which is the one to look at for a broader biometric reader or a wide plate. Measure the device plus any wiring or trim it sits on, and pick the shell that clears it inside the depth figure.
    3) Is there an ADA compliant Bopper Stopper cover for a push button by an accessible entrance?
    The STI-6518 is the ADA compliant model in the Bopper Stopper line, and it is the one carrying the UL/cUL S2466 listing and CSFM approval as well. If the cover is going over an accessible-route push button or a device that has to satisfy a fire marshal review, specify the 6518 rather than one of the other sizes.
    4) What is the difference between the enclosed bio reader cover and the open keyless lock cover?
    The open keyless lock cover is cut so the lock or keypad stays reachable without lifting anything, which suits a device people use dozens of times a day. The enclosed bio reader version is a full shell over the reader, so the user lifts the cover to present a finger or hand. Enclosed gives more protection from abuse and weather; open trades some of that for speed of use. Both are offered in clear and smoke.
    5) Should I order the clear or the smoke Bopper Stopper cover?
    Clear leaves the device, its labels, and any status LED fully readable, which is what you want over a pull station, an outlet, or anything with printed instructions. Smoke tints the shell so the device is less conspicuous, useful where you do not want a keypad or reader advertising itself in a public corridor. The enclosed bio reader, open keyless lock, and standard covers are each available both ways.
    6) Does the Bopper Stopper cover stay shut on its own, or do people have to close it?
    Closure is automatic. Depending on the model, the cover uses either a stainless steel torsion spring or a continuous hinge to hold itself closed, so it falls back over the device after each use rather than being left hanging open. Stainless is the right hinge material for a wet or exterior location.
    7) Do I need to buy mounting screws or a gasket separately for an STI Bopper Stopper?
    No extra hardware to order. Each Bopper Stopper ships with its mounting hardware and a gasket, so it is a surface mount straight onto the wall or door around the existing device. The gasket is what seals the shell against the mounting surface. The only add-on worth considering is the Bopper Stopper adapter plate, for a mounting surface the cover cannot sit flat against on its own.
    8) What devices can a Bopper Stopper cover actually go over besides keypads?
    Beyond keypads, the Bopper Stopper covers are used over push buttons, pull stations, electrical outlets, biometric readers, and general controls. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means one product family handles the tenant entry keypad, the exit push button, the fire pull station in the corridor, and the exposed outlet in the laundry room, with the size chosen per device.
    9) Will a polycarbonate cover hold up to real vandalism in a public corridor, or do I need a metal cage?
    Polycarbonate is the impact plastic used for this class of guard, and the shell is what absorbs a strike or a shoulder instead of the keypad behind it. That handles the common problem, which is casual abuse and accidental impact from carts and equipment in public, commercial, and industrial spaces. For a determined attack on a high-risk opening you are into a steel cage instead, but a cage blocks sightlines and needs its own mounting, where these surface mount with the supplied hardware and gasket.
    10) What is the STI Bopper Stopper adapter plate for?
    The adapter plate is the accessory for mounting a Bopper Stopper where the cover cannot bear directly on the surface, for instance over a device on a narrow stile, a raised backbox, or an uneven substrate. It gives the cover a flat, continuous face to seat its gasket against. If your device sits proud of the wall or on trim narrower than the cover footprint, order the plate with it.
