Best 1C7TB1626 7 Pin Tb Keyway Uncombinated Core Satin Chrome

Product Description

The BEST 1C7TB1626 is a standard 7-pin interchangeable core in the TB keyway configuration, supplied uncombinated and finished in satin chrome. Interchangeable cores are designed to be removed and reinstalled without disassembling the lock hardware, making them the preferred choice for facilities that require rekeying or security level changes on a regular basis. The uncombinated state means the core ships without a specific key cut applied, allowing end users or locksmiths to pin and key the core to fit an existing master key system. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, low-gloss appearance suited to commercial and institutional hardware. The unit ships individually and weighs 0.05 pounds.

The 1C7TB1626 core is used in commercial, institutional, and government facilities where access control flexibility is a priority. It is installed in BEST interchangeable core-compatible cylinders fitted to cylindrical locksets, mortise locks, padlocks, cabinet locks, and other hardware that accepts the standard BEST core format. The TB keyway restricts key duplication to authorized channels, supporting layered master key programs. Locksmiths, security hardware technicians, and facilities maintenance personnel are the primary installers and end users of this component.

Installation Notes

Interchangeable cores of this type are installed and removed by licensed locksmiths or trained facilities security personnel using a control key specific to the core system. The core must be pinned and combinated to the site master key system before installation in a live application. Ensure the host hardware cylinder is fully compatible with the BEST interchangeable core format before installation. No disassembly of the lock chassis is required during a core exchange, but all work should follow applicable site security protocols and access control procedures.
