Schlage Commercial M204152 Construction Core

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL M204152 is a disposable plastic small format construction core designed for use during the construction phase of commercial, institutional, and multi-family building projects. This temporary core allows jobsite access during active construction without compromising the final keying system. Once construction is complete, the disposable core is removed and replaced with the permanent small format interchangeable core (SFIC), keeping the master key system intact. Licensed locksmiths, security contractors, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary tradespeople who handle this component.

This construction core is intended for small format interchangeable core (SFIC) cylinders in commercial and institutional applications. It is commonly specified on new construction projects where controlled temporary access is required across multiple entry points before the permanent cores are issued. The single-unit sales quantity makes it easy to order for individual door replacements or supplement existing construction hardware packages on active job sites.

Key Features

• Disposable plastic construction eliminates the need to recover or rekey temporary cores after project completion
• Small format design is compatible with SFIC-ready lock cylinders used in commercial and institutional hardware
• Simplifies construction-phase keying by separating temporary access from the permanent master key system
• Compact profile at 4.5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 0.75 inches in height for straightforward core swaps
• Sold individually for flexible ordering on projects of any scale

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of interchangeable cores typically requires a control key and should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified security hardware technician. Ensure the door hardware is not under load or actively securing an occupied space before swapping cores. Follow the hardware manufacturer's core insertion and removal procedure to avoid damaging the cylinder or core. Replace the disposable construction core with the permanent keyed core before the building is turned over for occupancy.
