Product Description

The BEST 1A1TE1KS473KS800 is a standard 7-pin key blank cut to the TE keyway profile, designated for use with KS473 keyway systems. Key blanks of this type serve as the uncut base stock for duplication or original key cutting in commercial and institutional lock applications. This blank is compatible with BEST interchangeable core and masterkey cylinder systems that use the TE keyway. Locksmiths, facility maintenance technicians, and security hardware installers use this blank when issuing new keys or replacing lost keys within an existing keying system. The part ships as a single key blank unit.

This key blank is suited for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities running BEST cylinder hardware with the TE keyway configuration. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government installations where BEST masterkey or interchangeable core systems are deployed.

The KS473 keyway designation helps ensure the blank indexes correctly in the appropriate key machine and cylinder profile.
