BEST 1W7L2626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What can the BEST 1W7L2 electric switch lock actually switch, electrically?
The 1W7L2 is rated 110 VAC or VDC at 12 amps resistive, or 220 VAC or VDC at 6 amps resistive. It is a SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch with maintained action, so the contacts stay where the key leaves them rather than springing back. Those are resistive ratings, so inductive loads like motors or contactor coils need to be sized against that figure before you wire it directly.
2) Will a BEST switch lock key into the same system as the rest of our BEST hardware?
Yes. The 1W7L2 accepts a BEST interchangeable core, so it can be keyed into any existing BEST IC system and brought under the same master key as the doors in the building. For a facility already standardized on BEST, that means a maintenance tech carries one key for both the openings and the control panels.
3) What is the SWR box option on the BEST 1W7L2 and do I need it?
SWR is the Standard Weather Resistant enclosure. Order it when the switch lock is mounted outdoors, in a wash-down area, or anywhere exposed to moisture. If the unit is going inside a dry control panel or interior wall, the None option ships the switch lock without the box. Every one of the eight finishes is offered both with SWR and without.
4) Can this switch lock be used in a hot equipment room or near process heat?
Operating temperature runs up to +221 F (+105 C), which covers most mechanical rooms, boiler spaces and machine enclosures. That upper rating is one of the reasons the 1W7L2 gets specified for industrial control panels rather than a general-purpose keyswitch.
5) Is the BEST 1W7L2 UL listed for use in a control panel?
BEST states that all switches in this line are UL recognized or listed. Recognized components are intended for use inside a larger listed assembly, such as a control panel, rather than as a standalone listed device, so your panel builder should confirm how it is being applied within the panel listing.
6) How does the 1W7L2 terminate, and what does an electrician need to bring to the install?
Screw terminals, so it lands field wiring directly without crimped harnesses or a pigtail adapter. Kill power first, land the common and the two throw legs per the BEST wiring diagram, and size conductors for the actual load against the 12 amp at 110 V or 6 amp at 220 V resistive rating. Allow clearance behind the mounting point for the wiring and for future service.
7) Do I want SPDT or a simpler on/off keyswitch for my application?
SPDT gives you one common and two outputs, so a key turn can transfer a circuit from one path to another, not just break it. Use the 1W7L2 where the key needs to select between two states, for example run versus bypass, or normal versus override. If all you need is a keyed make-or-break on a single circuit, a single-pole single-throw switch lock is the simpler specification. The maintained action here means the selected state holds after the key is turned.
8) What finishes does the BEST 1W7L2 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. If you are matching the switch lock face to existing BEST door hardware, 626 satin chrome and 630-family looks are the usual commercial default, and 626 is available here in both the plain and SWR box versions.
9) Why does the BEST switch lock use a double D cylinder?
The double D cylinder form keeps the core from slipping or spinning in the housing when the key is turned against a loaded switch. On a keyswitch that carries real current, that rotational grip is what keeps the switch action positive instead of letting the cylinder wallow out over time.
10) Is a keyed switch lock like this heavy duty enough for a plant floor or an equipment access panel?
The 1W7L2 is built to Grade 1 heavy duty and is a commercial-rated device, which is the tier specified for high-use and industrial applications rather than light commercial. Typical placements are machine access control, power management panels, emergency override stations and security system tie-in points.
