STI STI-6518-FR Bopper Stopper Reader Cover with Spring Loaded Hinge
Overview
The STI-6518-FR is a hinged polycarbonate protective cover molded from impact-resistant material designed to shield biometric readers, keypads, and smaller access control devices from vandalism, accidental damage, ice buildup, and environmental exposure. The stainless steel torsion spring maintains the cover in a closed position without prop-open mechanisms that complicate installation. This accessory serves single-reader protection in commercial buildings, warehouses, and outdoor installations where device durability and uninterrupted access control operation matter.
Compatibility
The STI-6518-FR fits fingerprint biometric readers, keypad entry units, push-button devices, electrical outlets, volume controls, and lighting switches in networked access control installations. Mounting hardware and gasket are included; installation requires only standard fasteners. The cover works with any reader or control device small enough to fit inside the molded cavity — verify physical dimensions against your specific unit before ordering.
Installation Notes
Covers ship complete with mounting hardware and gasket. Fast installation uses standard screws; no specialized tools required. The stainless steel hinge is pre-assembled and factory-tuned to hold the cover closed without sagging. Operating temperature range is −40°F to 250°F (−40°C to 121°C), making this suitable for indoor and unheated outdoor environments. Gasket replacement is recommended after five years of service to maintain weather sealing. The cover is backed by a three-year guarantee against polycarbonate breakage under normal use.
