Gms IC7A26D 7 Pin Small Format Interchangeable Core

Product Description

The GMS IC7A26D is a 7-pin small format interchangeable core (SFIC) cylinder designed for commercial and institutional locking systems that use the Best A keyway profile. It ships in a satin chrome finish, giving it a clean appearance that blends with standard commercial hardware. Interchangeable cores allow an authorized operator to remove and replace the core without disassembling the lock body, which reduces rekeying time significantly. This cylinder is sold as a single unit and is suited for installation by licensed locksmiths or facility maintenance professionals managing master-key or access-control programs.

Small format interchangeable cores are widely used in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government installations where frequent rekeying or core swaps are required. The Best A keyway designates a specific key profile that controls access within a keying system. The IC7A26D fits lock bodies designed to accept SFIC cylinders, including knobs, levers, deadbolts, and padlocks built to the small format interchangeable core standard. This unit is sold individually, with a case quantity of 10 for bulk orders.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of interchangeable cores should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified facilities technician familiar with small format interchangeable core systems. A control key is required to remove and insert the core without disassembling the lock body. Ensure the correct keyway and pinning specifications are confirmed before installing the core into a master-key system. Consult the lock body manufacturer guidelines and any applicable local security or building codes when integrating into an access-control program.
