Best 8T37LSTK626 8T Series Single Cylinder Deadbolt Satin Chrome

Product Description

The BEST 8T37LSTK626 is a single cylinder deadbolt from the 8T Series, designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features a 2-3/4 inch backset, a 7-pin cylinder configuration, and ships less core, making it compatible with BEST interchangeable core (IC) systems. The no-turnknob interior design and standard strike plate are included. The Satin Chrome (626) finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to high-traffic entryways. Installation is handled by licensed locksmiths or door hardware specialists working with BEST-specified keying systems.

This deadbolt is built for commercial-grade door assemblies where an interchangeable core keying system is already in use or being installed. The less-core configuration means the cylinder housing ships without an operating core inserted, allowing the end-user or facility manager to install a pre-keyed or master-keyed BEST IC core on site. Typical applications include office buildings, institutional facilities, schools, and multi-tenant commercial properties where a masterkey system is required across multiple openings.

Key Features

• 2-3/4 inch backset fits standard commercial door preparations
• 7-pin cylinder configuration provides enhanced key-bitting security over 5- or 6-pin systems
• Less core (LSTK) ships without operating core — accepts BEST interchangeable core
• No-turnknob interior design for specific access control or code-compliant configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use within BEST 8T Series door hardware installations that utilize BEST interchangeable core keying systems. Specific compatible core and masterkey system selections should be confirmed with a BEST-authorized distributor or locksmith prior to ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with BEST interchangeable core systems. Ensure the door is not under tension and all latching hardware is disengaged before fitting the deadbolt assembly. Core insertion requires the appropriate BEST control key — do not attempt to force-insert a core without the control key. Local building and fire codes may govern egress hardware requirements; verify compliance before final installation.
