BEST BES-4A1A1KS473KS800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What keyway do I order for a BEST 4A key blank, and which BEST keyways are available?
The 4A access bow blank is cut on BEST small format interchangeable core keyways, and you pick the keyway when you order: A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, R, TB, TC, TD, and TE. The keyway has to match the cores already in your building, not just the brand. If your cores are BEST but stamped with a different keyway letter than the one you order, the blank will not enter the plug. Pull one existing key or one core and read the keyway stamp before you place the order.
2) What is the difference between the control, master and operating key options on a BEST 4A blank?
Key Type on the 4A blank is a level in your keying system, and it changes what the finished key does: Operating (the day to day key for one opening), Submaster (opens a defined group), Master (opens everything under it), Grandmaster (sits above the masters), and Control. Control is the one people forget to order. On BEST small format interchangeable cores the control key is what pulls the core out of the housing, so if you are rekeying by swapping cores you need control blanks on top of your user keys. Ordering only operating blanks leaves you with no way to remove a core.
3) Will an Ilco key blank work in my BEST cores instead?
Not interchangeably. The Ilco CH1C is a nickel silver blank cut for the Arrow 1C keyway, so it belongs in Arrow cylinders, not BEST. Keyways are brand and profile specific: a blank has to match the warding in the plug it goes into. If your cores are BEST, order the BEST blank in your keyway letter. If you are maintaining a mixed building with Arrow cylinders on some doors, that is where the Ilco CH1C fits.
4) Why would I choose the 4A access bow over the standard 1A BEST key blank?
Bow shape is about handling and telling keys apart, not about what the key opens. The 4A is the access bow. BEST also blanks the same keyways as 1A standard bow, 1AP premium bow, 2A large round, 3A large rectangular, and 9A blockout blade. A property manager carrying forty keys, or a facility that wants maintenance keys distinguishable from tenant keys by feel, usually standardizes one bow per key level. The blade and keyway do the work; the bow is your identification scheme.
5) Can I get BEST key blanks stamped with our facility name or a do not duplicate marking?
Stamping is an option you select on the 4A blank rather than something you send out afterward. It lets an institution or organization put its own identification on the key, which is how schools, hospitals and municipal facilities discourage a hardware store from cutting a copy. Worth deciding before you order, since it applies to the blanks as supplied.
6) Do BEST 4A blanks come cut, or do I need a locksmith to cut them?
They ship as blanks, uncut. Cutting and combinating has to be done to your system's bitting by someone who works with BEST keying, and on a master keyed system the bitting comes from your key schedule rather than from copying an existing key. If you have no locksmith in house, order the blanks in the keyway and key level you need and hand the schedule to whoever maintains your system. Confirm the keyway against your cylinders before anything gets cut, because a cut wrong keyway is scrap.
7) How many BEST blanks should I order when setting up key control for a building?
Count by key level, not by door. For each keyway in the building you need operating blanks for every user who gets access, submaster or master blanks for supervisors and maintenance, a grandmaster if the system has one, and control blanks for whoever is authorized to pull cores. Multi-tenant and campus systems typically hold a reserve of operating blanks per keyway so a lost key can be replaced same week without a new order. Order stamping at the same time if the keys are going to be identified by facility.
8) Are BEST 4A key blanks suitable for a residential rental or only commercial buildings?
These are commercial grade blanks tied to BEST's combinating and keying systems, and they earn their keep where there is a real key hierarchy: office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities, multi-tenant property, industrial sites and retail chains. A single family rental with three doors and no master key rarely justifies a small format interchangeable core system. Multi-family with a maintenance master and per-unit keys is exactly what it is for.
