Best 1C6D1626 6 Pin D Keyway Combinated Core Satin Chrome

Product Description

The BEST 1C6D1626 is a standard 6-pin, D-keyway combinated core with spacer, finished in satin chrome. Designed for use in BEST interchangeable core (IC) lock systems, this combinated core ships ready to operate in a specified key combination, eliminating the need for on-site pinning. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to commercial and institutional hardware. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware technicians are the typical installers for this type of component. The core measures 4.6 inches in length, 3.3 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height, and ships as a single unit.

This core is intended for commercial and institutional access control applications where BEST interchangeable core cylinders are specified. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities that rely on masterkey or restricted-keyway systems. The D keyway designation restricts key duplication to authorized channels, supporting controlled key distribution across large facilities. The included spacer accommodates specific mortise, cylindrical, or rim hardware configurations where additional core depth is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with BEST interchangeable core systems. Before servicing any lock cylinder, ensure the door is in a safe, open position and that access control or alarm integrations are properly managed. A control key is required to insert or remove an interchangeable core — never force the core without the correct control key, as this can damage the housing. Verify that the spacer orientation matches the hardware manufacturer's specification before final installation.
