BEST BEST-21C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are BEST 21C core caps actually used for?
The 21C is the pin chamber cap that closes off a BEST interchangeable core's pin stack. It is a replacement service part, not a core and not a lock, so it only matters when you are rebuilding or repinning cores rather than buying a working core outright. BEST sells them for B Series mechanical lock cores, and they ship 500 to a pack, which is bench-stock quantity for a shop that pins its own cores.
2) Will BEST 21C caps work in my BEST IC cores?
They're made for BEST IC cores in the B Series line. If your cores are BEST small format interchangeable cores from that family, the 21C is the cap for them. If you're working on another manufacturer's small format IC core, don't assume it drops in, match the cap to the core brand you're rebuilding.
3) Do I need core caps if I'm just rekeying a BEST core, or only when rebuilding?
Straight rekeying of an assembled core doesn't consume caps. You need 21C caps when you're building cores from loose parts or when a cap gets damaged or lost during a teardown, which is what makes a 500 pack sensible for a locksmith shop or an in-house maintenance crew that pins its own cores rather than buying them pre-assembled.
4) Is the BEST 21C sold in smaller quantities than 500?
The 21C comes one way here, a single 500 piece bulk pack. There is no small count option on it, so a property manager who only needs a handful is buying shop stock either way. For a facility that keys its own doors across a campus, that quantity is a multi-year supply of caps.
5) What else do I need to rebuild a BEST core besides the 21C caps?
Caps alone don't rebuild a core. You'll also need the core shell, the plug, and the pin sets, top pins, bottom pins and control or build-up pins, matched to your keying. The 21C covers only the cap that retains each pin chamber. Order the pinning kit and core housings alongside it if you're building cores from scratch.
6) Are BEST 21C core caps rated for commercial door hardware use?
Yes, they're commercial grade components for BEST B Series commercial lock cores, which is the line used across schools, hospitals, government buildings and multi-tenant properties where masterkeyed IC systems are standard. Same part regardless of which of those buildings it goes into, the core is what varies.
