Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Type 86 junction box and what devices does it fit?
A: The Type 86 standard refers to a widely used wall plate and back box sizing specification (86mm × 86mm face plate footprint) common in access control and electrical installations. This surface-mounted back box is compatible with Type 86 access control readers, keypads, exit buttons, and switch panels, making it a versatile choice for most standard security hardware.
Q: Is this junction box suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations?
A: This zinc alloy back box is primarily designed for indoor wall surface mounting. Its electroplated chrome finish provides good resistance to everyday wear, but for outdoor or high-moisture environments, additional weatherproofing measures are recommended to maintain performance and appearance.
Q: What is the difference between the M40, M50, M70, and M86 models?
A: The model numbers (M40, M50, M70, M86) refer to different depth or dimension variants of the junction box, allowing you to choose the best fit for your specific access control device and wall installation requirements. Please check the depth and cutout dimensions of your device before selecting a model.
Q: How is this back box installed on the wall?
A: The box is designed for surface mounting directly onto any flat wall surface using standard fasteners. No deep cavity or flush-mount routing is required, making installation straightforward for both new builds and retrofit projects.
