Best 1C7A1613 7 Pin a Keyway Uncombinated Core Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The BEST 1C7A1613 is a standard 7-pin, A-keyway interchangeable core supplied uncombinated and finished in oil rubbed bronze. Interchangeable cores (IC) are designed for rapid re-keying without removing the lock from the door, making them the preferred choice for facilities managers, locksmiths, and security contractors managing large keying systems. The uncombinated state means the core ships without pins set to a specific key combination, allowing the installing technician or locksmith to pin it to the required key specification on site or at the shop. The oil rubbed bronze finish suits period-appropriate architectural hardware on commercial and institutional doors.

This core is suited for commercial and institutional access control applications where interchangeable core cylinders are specified. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government buildings that operate under a masterkey or grandmaster key system. The A keyway designation controls key-blank availability and is a standard BEST keyway used across a wide range of BEST-compatible lock cylinders and hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation and pinning of interchangeable cores should be performed by a licensed locksmith or credentialed security technician familiar with BEST IC systems. Before removing or inserting a core, ensure the control key is available, as the control key is required to insert and extract the core without damaging the cylinder. Pin the core to the correct key specification before installation when working within an active masterkey system. Follow all applicable building security codes and facility access control policies.
