Kaba Ilco Corp KW1-PC-RUBY Ruby Key Blank Kwikset

Product Description

The KABA ILCO CORP KW1-PC-RUBY is a ruby-colored, cool-color plastic head key blank cut to the KW1 keyway profile, compatible with Kwikset locksets. The colored plastic bow makes key identification fast and straightforward in multi-key environments, reducing the chance of grabbing the wrong key on a crowded ring. This blank ships uncut and must be duplicated on standard key-cutting equipment before use. Locksmiths, property managers, and security hardware installers are the typical end users for this type of colored key blank.

This key blank is designed for residential and light commercial applications where Kwikset-profile locks are installed. The KW1 keyway is one of the most common residential lock profiles in North America, found in entry knobs, deadbolts, and handlesets. The ruby color coding is useful in master-key systems, rental properties, and facilities where multiple tenants or access levels require quick visual distinction between keys.

Installation Notes

Key blanks must be cut by a qualified locksmith or trained hardware professional using appropriate key-cutting equipment before use in any lock. Verify the keyway profile matches the target lockset before cutting to avoid waste. Do not attempt to force an uncut or improperly cut blank into a lock cylinder, as this can damage the pins and plug. Always test the cut key for smooth operation before returning the lock to service.
