Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KEEDEX from 3G Electric.
What materials are KEEDEX cylinder latch guards available in?
KEEDEX cylinder latch guards are offered in brass, bronze, and aluminum. For example, the K-24-3 is a brass guard measuring 1-3/4 in in width, while the K-24L-26 is a bronze guard at 1-3/8 in width. Aluminum options include the K-24A and K-24B, both 1-3/4 in wide. Material selection depends on factors such as required strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with existing door hardware. These guards are designed to protect door cylinders from tampering and forced entry in commercial and industrial applications.
What are the dimensions of KEEDEX gate boxes?
KEEDEX gate boxes vary in size and mounting hole configuration. For instance, the weldable gate box with six mounting holes is constructed from steel with an unfinished silver finish. Another model, the electric strike box, includes one mounting hole and is also made of steel. Specific dimensions are not provided in the product data, but the boxes are designed to enclose and protect gate valves or provide a secure mounting point for electric strikes. They are intended for welding onto pipelines or structures, and all necessary mounting hardware is included.
Are KEEDEX gate boxes suitable for outdoor use?
KEEDEX gate boxes are constructed from steel with an unfinished silver finish. The unfinished surface may be susceptible to corrosion if exposed to moisture or harsh environments. For outdoor applications, it is recommended to apply a protective coating or paint to the steel after installation. The boxes are designed to be welded onto pipelines or structures, which can provide a permanent and secure installation. However, the product data does not specify an IP rating or outdoor suitability, so users should evaluate the environment and consider additional protection as needed.
What is the purpose of a KEEDEX cylinder latch guard?
A KEEDEX cylinder latch guard is a physical security device that mounts over a door cylinder to prevent tampering, prying, and forced entry. It is typically used in commercial and industrial door hardware applications where cylinder security is a concern. The guard is available in various materials and widths to fit different door configurations. By covering the cylinder, it makes it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to access or manipulate the lock mechanism. Installation usually involves mounting the guard to the door or frame, and it may require additional hardware depending on the specific model.
Does 3G Electric stock KEEDEX power supply accessories?
Yes, 3G Electric supplies KEEDEX power supply accessories as part of its 46 SKUs for the brand. While the sample products listed focus on cylinder latch guards and gate boxes, the full KEEDEX line includes power supply accessories. These are typically used in access control systems to provide regulated power to electric strikes, maglocks, and other door hardware. For specific part numbers and specifications, refer to the product catalog on the 3G Electric website or contact the sales team for assistance.
How do I select the correct KEEDEX cylinder latch guard for my door?
Selection depends on the door cylinder dimensions, the desired material, and the level of security required. KEEDEX offers guards in widths such as 1-3/4 in and 1-3/8 in, and in brass, bronze, or aluminum. Brass and bronze offer corrosion resistance and durability, while aluminum is lightweight. Consider the door thickness and cylinder projection to ensure proper fit. The manufacturer part numbers, such as K-24-3, K-24L-26, K-24A, and K-24B, can be used to cross-reference specifications.
