Schlage Commercial 48311BRN Brown Cut Control Key

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL 48311BRN is a brown cut control key designed for use in commercial and institutional keying systems. Cut control keys are used by locksmiths and facility security personnel to restrict unauthorized key duplication — a cut control key must be presented to a locksmith before duplicate keys can be made from a restricted keyway. This key ships as a single unit and is identified by its brown color coding, which helps security administrators distinguish control keys from operating keys at a glance. It measures 2.25 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.2 inches in height, with a total weight of 0.05 pounds.

Cut control keys are a standard component in restricted keyway access control programs for commercial buildings, institutional facilities, multi-family properties, and campuses. They are typically managed by a building security administrator, facility manager, or licensed locksmith. The control key is required to authorize and cut additional keys within a restricted keyway system, preventing unauthorized key duplication and maintaining key control integrity across the facility.

Installation Notes

Cut control keys should be handled and stored only by authorized security personnel or a licensed locksmith. Keep control keys separate from operating keys and document their location as part of a formal key control policy. No tools are required for key storage or issuance, but any key duplication work should be performed in accordance with the facility security plan and applicable access control regulations. Power down any associated electronic access control hardware before performing related lock service.
