BEST 1W7E2626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the BEST 1W7E2 a door lock or an electrical switch?
It's a key-operated electrical switch, not a latching door lock. The 1W7E2 is a toggle-action switch in a TPDT (triple pole, double throw) configuration that a key turns between positions, so the circuits it controls only move when someone with the right key is standing there. Typical uses are control panel access, machine control and safety circuits, and electrical equipment protection rather than securing an opening. If you need something that latches a door and holds it shut, this is the wrong part.
2) What voltage and amperage can the BEST 1W7E2 switch lock handle?
110 VAC at 15 amps resistive, or 220 VAC at 10 amps resistive. For motor loads it's rated 50 VAC or VDC at 3/4 HP in 1, 2 or 3 phase. Check your load against those numbers before you wire it in: a resistive rating does not carry an inductive load of the same amperage, which is why the horsepower rating is called out separately. Connections are screw terminals, so you land conductors directly rather than splicing pigtails.
3) Can the BEST 1W7E2 switch lock be keyed into our existing BEST master key system?
Yes. The 1W7E2 takes the BEST interchangeable core, so it drops into whatever BEST keyed system you already run and can sit under the same master. That matters on a facility where maintenance carries one key ring: the switch lock keys the same as the doors, and rekeying is a core pull rather than a lock change. The cylinder uses a double D design to keep it from slipping or turning in the housing under key torque.
4) Does the switch stay in position when you let go of the key, or does it spring back?
Maintained action. The 1W7E2 uses a toggle switch that holds whatever position you turn it to, with key positions at 2-3 o'clock and 3-9 o'clock, so the circuit stays made or broken after the key comes out. That's what you want for a lockout, a disable switch, or anything meant to stay set. If your application needs the circuit to make only while the key is held and drop the moment it's released, a maintained toggle is the wrong action for it.
5) What does the SWR box option on the BEST 1W7E2 add, and do I need it?
SWR is the standard weather resistant enclosure. Every finish is offered either with no box or with SWR, so it's a line item you pick at order time, not a separate model. Take the SWR box if the switch lock is mounted outdoors, in a wash-down area, a parking structure, a loading dock, or anywhere it sees weather or hose spray. For an interior control panel or an equipment room, the no-box version is what you're after. The unit itself operates from 0 to +150 degrees F (-18 to 66 C) either way.
6) Why choose a TPDT switch lock instead of a simpler single or double pole version?
TPDT gives you three separate circuits switching together, each with two throw positions, so one key turn transfers three independent lines at once. Reach for it when a single key action has to do more than one thing: kill a three phase feed, or break a control circuit while simultaneously making an indicator or interlock circuit. If you only need to open and close one line, a triple pole device is more wiring and more terminals than the job needs, and a lower pole count in the same 1W Series is the simpler buy. The three phase capability shows up in the horsepower rating too, 3/4 HP at 50 VAC or VDC across 1, 2 or 3 phase.
7) Is the BEST 1W7E2 rated for heavy commercial and industrial duty?
Grade 1, heavy duty, and specified as a commercial product. The unit is UL recognized or listed. Grade 1 is the top tier in the ANSI/BHMA scale and the level most institutional and government specs call for, so it will generally satisfy a drawing that calls out Grade 1 hardware. It's built for commercial building security systems, industrial control panels and critical infrastructure work rather than residential use.
8) Can a BEST electric switch lock be mounted outside in cold weather?
The 1W7E2 operates from 0 to +150 degrees F, which is -18 to 66 C. That covers most exterior installs in temperate climates but it does have a floor: if the switch sits in an unheated location that regularly drops below 0 F, you're outside the stated range. Pair an exterior mount with the SWR standard weather resistant box option rather than the bare unit.
9) Does the BEST 1W7E2 ship with a core and key?
The switch lock is built for the BEST interchangeable core system, and cores are ordered and keyed to your system separately. What you specify on the order for the 1W7E2 itself is the finish and whether you want the SWR weather resistant box. Plan on sourcing the IC core in your keyway and bitting alongside it, plus wire and connectors sized for your load, since the unit lands conductors on screw terminals.
10) What finishes does the BEST 1W7E2 electric switch lock come in?
Eight: 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. Each of those is available with or without the SWR weather resistant box. For a facility standardizing on one look, 626 satin chrome and 630-family satin finishes are the usual commercial default, and 690 is the common match where the rest of the hardware is dark bronze.
