The DAC Industries 10045-KIT pairs the heavy-duty Detex Advantex stainless exit device with a weather-shielded lock box and keyed cylinder, delivering free egress and secure outside entry in one kit. The 24" adjustable plate spans common gate frame widths for clean layout, while the receiver bracket is designed around a 3" O.D. latch post to simplify strike alignment.

- All-in-one ingress/egress — Lock box and cylinder deliver secure exterior access without sourcing extra parts.
- Right-sized alternatives — Prefer a lower-cost device or an alarm? See the 6045-KIT (VS + lock box) or the 10037-KIT (Advantex, alarmed).
Installation (Quick Steps)
- Fit the plate to the gate leaf (≈29"–52" span); clamp, mark, and fasten square to the hinge line.
- Mount the receiver on the 3" O.D. latch post; adjust for clean bolt throw and reliable re-latch.
- Install the Advantex bar (#10003 or #10004) to the pre-drilled plate; mount the lock box and keyed cylinder on the exterior side.
- Final checks — Cycle egress and outside entry, tighten fasteners, and confirm required signage/labels.
Buying Guide
- Alarm policy — If audible notification is required, choose the alarmed Advantex 10037-KIT.
- Budget vs. performance — For strong performance at a lower price point, consider the Detex VS-based 6045-KIT.
- Exit-only applications — If outside entry isn’t needed, the non-lock-box kits (e.g., 10035-KIT) reduce cost and maintenance.
