Best 1C7E1626 7 Pin E Keyway Uncombinated Core Satin Chrome

Product Description

The BEST 1C7E1626 is a standard 7-pin interchangeable core cylinder in an E keyway profile, supplied uncombinated and finished in satin chrome. Interchangeable core (IC) cylinders allow removal and reinstallation without disassembly of the lock hardware, making rekeying fast and tool-free for facilities management and security professionals. The uncombinated state means the core ships without a key combination cut, allowing the end user or locksmith to pin and key the core to an existing masterkey system. Satin chrome finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior commercial applications.

This core is designed for commercial and institutional environments where large-scale access control and masterkey systems are required. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities, and multi-tenant properties. A licensed locksmith or trained facilities security technician handles specification, pinning, and installation. The 7-pin configuration provides expanded key-change combinations, supporting complex masterkey hierarchies across large keying systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and pinning should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified security hardware professional. Before servicing any lock cylinder in an active door, confirm the door can be secured by alternate means and that access is coordinated with building management. The core must be pinned and keyed prior to installation into a live system. Follow applicable local building and fire codes regarding egress hardware when replacing cores on exit devices or stairwell doors.
