BEST 1W7D2626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the BEST 1W7D2 key switch actually do electrically, and can it switch two circuits at once?
The 1W7D2 is a key-operated toggle switch with DPST (double pole, single throw) contacts and maintained action, so turning the key makes or breaks two circuits together and they stay in that state until the key is turned back. That suits it to things like locking out a control panel, arming a security system, or holding a door release circuit on. Contacts are rated 110 VAC or VDC at 16 amps resistive, or 220 VAC or VDC at 8 amps resistive, with a 1 HP rating at 125-250 VAC or VDC, so it can drive a motor load directly rather than only a pilot circuit.
2) Does the BEST 1W7D2 switch lock take a small format interchangeable core, and can I key it into my existing BEST master key system?
It takes a BEST small format interchangeable core and works with any BEST system, so it can go on the same master key as the rest of the building and be rekeyed by pulling the core with a control key instead of taking the switch apart. For a facility standardizing on one keyway, that means the maintenance tech who opens the panel carries the same key they already have. The core itself is a separate order line, so specify the core and keying when you place the order.
3) I need a key switch outdoors or in a wash-down area. Is there a weather resistant version of the BEST 1W7D2?
Yes, the box option is where you decide that. The 1W7D2 is ordered either with no box or with SWR, the standard weather resistant enclosure, and both choices are available in every finish offered. If the switch is going on an exterior wall, a loading dock, a parking structure, or anywhere it sees hose-down or weather, order the SWR box option; the plain option assumes you are mounting into your own enclosure or an interior panel.
4) Is the BEST 1W7D2 key switch Grade 1, and is it UL listed?
Grade 1, heavy duty, and built for commercial rather than residential use. On the electrical side it carries UL recognized components, which is a component-level recognition for use inside a larger assembly, not a standalone UL listing of the finished switch. For a spec that calls out Grade 1 door hardware and UL recognized control components, that is what this device holds.
5) Do I need a maintained key switch or a momentary one for a door release?
The 1W7D2 is a maintained-action device: the contacts stay where the key leaves them. That is what you want to arm or disarm a system, lock out a machine, put an automatic door on hold-open, or disable a card reader for a shift. It is the wrong choice where you want a single pulse to release a door and have it re-lock immediately, because the circuit stays closed until someone comes back and turns the key. For pulse release, specify a momentary key switch instead.
6) What finishes does the BEST 1W7D2 electric key switch come in to match the rest of my hardware?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome, plus 690 statuary dark bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome matches the satin chrome levers and exit devices already on most commercial openings, and 613 matches oil-rubbed bronze trim. Each finish is available with or without the weather resistant box.
7) Will a BEST 1W7D2 key switch hold up outdoors in winter, and what temperature range is it good for?
Rated for 0 F to +150 F (-18 C to +66 C). That covers most of the continental US in an exterior application but it is not an arctic-rated device, so an unheated northern location that regularly drops below zero is outside the stated range. Pair it with the SWR weather resistant box option for any exterior mounting.
8) How do you wire a BEST 1W7D2 key switch, and does it take standard conduit wiring?
Connections are screw terminals, so field wiring lands directly on the device with ring or fork terminals or stripped conductors, no plug or pigtail to adapt. Size the conductors to the load you are switching, up to 16 amps resistive at 110 V, and kill power before landing anything. An electrical contractor treats it like any panel-mounted maintained key switch: two poles, one throw, wired through the enclosure into the circuit being controlled.
9) What keeps a key switch cylinder from being twisted out or spun, and does the BEST 1W7D2 resist that?
The cylinder uses a Double D design that prevents the cylinder from slipping and turning in its mounting, which is the usual attack on a key switch controlling a gate operator or a door release. Combined with a BEST interchangeable core, an attempted pull or spin does not give an attacker control of the circuit, and a compromised key can be designed out of the system by swapping cores rather than replacing the switch.
10) What is the difference between the 1W7D2 and other BEST 1W Series key switches?
Within the BEST 1W Series of electric key switch locks, the model designation tells you the switch configuration and key position. The 1W7D2 is the DPST toggle switch version with key position 2, at the 2 o'clock position. If your application needs a different pole and throw arrangement, or the key to remove at a different position, that is a different model in the same series with the same finishes, same interchangeable core system and same Grade 1 construction.
