BEST 1W7J2626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the BEST 1W7J2 switch lock take a BEST interchangeable core, and can I key it into my existing system?
The 1W7J2 uses a BEST interchangeable core, so it drops into any BEST system you already run and can be keyed alike or master keyed with the rest of your building. That is the main reason to spec it over a generic keyswitch: one key ring covers the doors and the control panels. The cylinder uses a Double D design that stops the plug slipping or turning under force.
2) What can the BEST 1W7J2 keyswitch actually switch, amperage and voltage wise?
Each of the two SPDT switches is rated 15 amps resistive at 125 VAC and 15 amps resistive at 250 VAC, with a 1/2 HP rating at 125 to 250 VAC. The horsepower rating is the number that matters if you are switching a motor load rather than a resistive one. Wiring lands on screw terminals, so no special connectors are needed.
3) Is the 1W7J2 a momentary or maintained keyswitch?
Maintained. Turn the key to a position and the switch stays there until someone turns it back, so it suits on/off or mode-select duty rather than a momentary door release pulse. If your application needs the contact to snap back when the key is released, this is the wrong action and you want a momentary switch lock instead.
4) Do I have to order a box with the BEST 1W7J2 switch lock, and which one?
The box is a separate choice on the order. Options are None (for mounting into an enclosure you already have), INT interior box, OC1 standard octagon, OC2 deep octagon, and SWR standard weather resistant. Pick OC2 deep octagon when the dual switch body and its wiring need more depth behind the plate, and SWR for exterior or washdown locations. Ordering None and discovering there is no back box on site is the common miss on this part.
5) Is the BEST 1W7J2 a door lock or an electrical switch?
It is a keyed electrical switch, not a latching lock. Turning the key throws the switch contacts, it does not throw a bolt or retract a latch, so it will not secure a door opening by itself. Use it to key-control power or a signal to a panel, motor, gate operator, or override circuit, and use a bored or mortise lockset if what you actually need is to lock the door.
6) Why two SPDT switches on the BEST 1W7J2 instead of one?
Two SPDT switches on one key assembly means one key turn can drive two independent circuits, each with its own normally open and normally closed leg. Typical use is switching a load while feeding a status or annunciation signal back to a panel, or controlling two zones from a single keyed point. If you only ever need one circuit, a single switch version of the W Series covers it with less wiring.
7) Can the 1W7J2 keyswitch be mounted outdoors or in a hot equipment room?
It is rated to operate up to +176 degrees F (+80 degrees C), which covers most mechanical and equipment rooms. For anything exposed to weather, order it with the SWR standard weather resistant box rather than a plain octagon box.
8) Is the BEST 1W7J2 heavy duty enough for an industrial control panel that gets used every shift?
It is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial unit with UL recognized components, built for control panel and equipment access duty rather than light intermittent use. Grade 1 is the top commercial tier under the BHMA grading scheme, which is what most institutional and MRO specs call for.
9) What finishes does the BEST 1W7J2 come in to match the rest of my hardware?
Nine finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 690 statuary dark bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome will read the same as the 626 lever trim on adjacent doors and 630 stainless will not match it.
