BEST 1W7P4626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the BEST 1W7P4 electric switch lock actually do, and where would I use it?
The 1W7P4 is a key-operated switch, not a door lock. Turning the key throws two SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch contacts, so one key operation can drive two independent circuits, one to release a door, one to shunt an alarm or light a pilot lamp. The action is momentary: the switches spring back to their rest position the moment the key is let go, so it triggers an event rather than holding a circuit latched. Typical spots are control panels, machine and electrical panel controls, building automation, and security system integration.
2) Will a BEST key switch work with the SFIC cores we already key our building on?
It takes a BEST interchangeable core, so it drops into an existing BEST keyed system and can be master keyed on the same chart as the rest of the openings. That is the reason facilities standardize on it: the maintenance tech carries one key ring, and the switch is on the same control key as the doors. The cylinder is a double D style, which keeps the core from slipping or turning under hard key use.
3) What is the difference between the None, INT, and SWR box options on the 1W7P4 key switch?
The box is how the switch gets mounted. Ordering None gives you the switch alone, for dropping into a panel cutout or an enclosure that is already there. INT is an interior box for surface mounting indoors. SWR is the standard weather resistant box, which is what you specify at an exterior door, a gate, a loading dock, or a parking structure. All three are available in every finish offered.
4) Can a BEST 1W7P4 key switch be mounted outside at a gate or dock door?
Yes, if it is ordered with the SWR standard weather resistant box. The switch by itself, or in the INT interior box, is meant for protected indoor locations. Specify SWR at anything exposed to weather; it is offered in all nine finishes, so the exterior unit can still match the interior ones.
5) Will a momentary key switch hold a door unlocked, or does it only pulse?
It only pulses. The 1W7P4 is momentary, spring return, so the contacts sit in their normal state until the key is turned and snap back as soon as it is released. That is what you want for a release button, a door pulse, an alarm shunt, or a machine start. If the job needs the circuit held on until someone comes back and turns it off, a momentary switch is the wrong choice and a maintained action key switch is what to specify.
6) Where are the key positions on the BEST 1W7P4, and can it switch two things in opposite directions?
There are two active key positions, one at 2 o'clock and one at 10 o'clock, either side of center. With two SPDT switches behind them, the switch can drive two separate circuits, and because each SPDT has both a normally open and a normally closed leg, you can wire one circuit to make while another breaks from the same key turn. That is the common wiring for release-and-shunt, where the strike energizes as the alarm contact opens.
7) Is the BEST 1W7P4 switch rated for a hot mechanical room or an unconditioned space?
It runs up to +176 F (+80 C), which covers boiler and mechanical rooms, unventilated electrical closets, and interior enclosures that bake in summer. Duty level is heavy duty commercial, Grade 1. In an outdoor or wash-down location, the SWR weather resistant box is the version to order rather than the bare switch.
8) Do I need a single or dual switch key switch for a door release with alarm shunt?
Two circuits means two switches. A single-switch key switch gives you one set of contacts, enough to pulse a strike and nothing else. The 1W7P4 carries two SPDT switches, so the same key turn can release the door on one circuit and shunt the alarm or feed a status indication to the panel on the other, without piggybacking both loads on one contact. If the job is a plain door release with no second circuit, a single switch version is all you need.
9) Does the 1W7P4 key switch come with a core and key, or do I order those separately?
The switch takes a BEST interchangeable core, and the core and its keys are ordered separately so the core can be cut into your existing keying system. Order the core to your keyway and key change, and specify the box option (none, interior, or weather resistant) at the same time, since the switch and mounting box are chosen together on the order.
10) What finishes does the BEST 1W Series electric switch lock come in?
Nine: 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. For a property manager matching a floor of existing hardware, 626 satin chrome and 630-look 619 satin nickel are the usual commercial pairings, and 690 matches dark bronze storefront.
11) Are the switches in the BEST 1W7P4 UL recognized?
The switches are UL recognized or listed, per BEST's own product data. That is the switch component itself, which is what an electrical inspector or a spec writer usually wants confirmed before it goes into a panel.
