BEST BES-4A1A2KS473KS800 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What do I have to specify when ordering a BEST 4A cut key?
Two things are required on every BEST 4A access bow cut key order: the Keymark and the Marking Number. Those are what tie the key to your existing BEST system so it's cut to the right combination rather than sold as a blank. You also pick the keyway (A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, R, TB, TC, TD or TE) and the key level: Control, Grandmaster, Master, Submaster or Operating.
2) Is the BEST 4A key a blank or is it already cut?
It's a cut key, not a blank. Cutting is done to the Keymark and Marking Number you supply, so it arrives ready to operate the cores in that system. If what you actually want is an uncut blank to cut yourself, this isn't it, look at a key blank such as the Ilco CH1C in the Arrow 1C keyway.
3) What is the difference between a control key and an operating key on a BEST system?
Key level is an ordering choice here, and it changes what the key does. A control key removes and installs the interchangeable core rather than operating the lock. An operating key throws the latch on the openings it is combinated to. Master, Submaster and Grandmaster sit above operating in the hierarchy, opening progressively wider groups of doors. Order the level that matches the role the holder has, a maintenance tech pulling cores needs control, a tenant needs operating.
4) Will a BEST 4A cut key work in my existing BEST cores?
Only if the keyway and the combination match. The 4A is offered across twenty keyways (A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, R, TB, TC, TD, TE), and a key cut in one keyway will not enter a core of another. Pull the Keymark off your existing key or your keying records and order to it. Get the keyway right and the Keymark right and the key drops into that system.
5) I manage a building and need more keys for doors already keyed to a BEST master, what do I order?
Order the 4A cut key at the level you need, operating for a tenant or a single door, submaster or master where one key has to cover a group, and give the Keymark plus the Marking Number from your existing keying records. That's what makes the new key match what's already on the doors instead of arriving as a stray combination. Keyway has to match your existing cores too.
6) What does the 4A access bow shape actually change compared to a 1A or 3A BEST key?
Bow shape is about identification and grip, not function. The 4A access bow is one of a family that also includes the 1A standard bow, 1AP premium bow, 2A large round, 3A large rectangular, and 9A blockout blade. All of them cut to the same BEST system, so the choice comes down to how you want keys distinguished in the hand and on the ring. Facilities running several key levels often assign a different bow to each level so a master is recognizable at a glance.
7) Can I get keys stamped with our facility name or a do-not-duplicate marking?
Custom stamping is available on the 4A, and it's the usual way institutions tie keys to their own organization for identification and to discourage unauthorized duplication. Separate from that, every order carries a Marking Number, which is the stamped reference that identifies which change or master the key belongs to in your keying schedule.
8) Do the TB, TC, TD and TE keyways on BEST keys mean something different from A through R?
They're separate keyway families offered on the 4A alongside the single-letter keyways A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O and R. Keyways exist to keep systems from crossing, so a key cut on a TB will not enter a core sectioned for a C. Match the designation on your core or your keying schedule exactly, the letter is not a preference.
9) Is the BEST 4A cut key suitable for residential use or is it commercial only?
It's a commercial key, cut for BEST commercial lock systems and used in offices, schools, hospitals, government buildings, warehouses, retail and multi-tenant residential properties. Multi-tenant residential is squarely in scope, single-family residential locks generally aren't on a BEST interchangeable core system at all.
