BEST 5ELW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the BEST 5ELW part and what does it do?
The 5ELW is a cam screw lock washer for BEST E Series cylinders. It sits under the cam screw and keeps that screw from backing out, so the cam stays tight to the cylinder and the lock keeps turning the way it should. It is a small service part, not a cylinder or a cam on its own, so if your cam or screw is also damaged you need those pieces separately.
2) Will the 5ELW washer fit any BEST E Series cylinder, or only the 5E?
It is specified for the 5E Series within the BEST E Series cylinder family. BEST builds several E Series cylinder sizes and types, so before you order for a mortise, rim or knob cylinder that is not a 5E, match the part against the BEST E Series Service Manual for that cylinder.
3) Can a Corbin Russwin 147F84-9 washer be used in place of the BEST 5ELW cam screw lock washer?
No. The BEST 5ELW is a cam screw lock washer made specifically for BEST E Series cylinders, and BEST engineers it to that series so the cam screw retains correctly. The Corbin Russwin 147F84-9 is also a washer, but it is an ED6000 exit device part, not a cylinder cam screw component. They serve different assemblies, so order the 5ELW when you are servicing an E Series cylinder and the 147F84-9 only when you are rebuilding an ED6000 device.
4) Do I need to rekey or repin the cylinder to replace the cam screw lock washer?
No. Swapping the lock washer is a cam-end job: back off the cam screw, replace the washer, retorque. The pinning stack and the core are untouched, so the keying stays exactly as it was. BEST's E Series Service Manual covers the cam and screw sequence if you want the order of operations in front of you.
5) My apartment cylinders keep loosening up at the cam. Is this the fix?
A cam that works loose is usually the cam screw backing out, and the lock washer is the part that stops it. For a property manager running a lot of BEST E Series cylinders, buying these as a maintenance stock item is cheaper than pulling and replacing whole cylinders. The 5ELW is catalogued for residential use, which is where most multi-unit E Series cylinder work sits.
6) Both the BEST 5ELW and the Corbin Russwin 147F84-9 are listed as washers - what actually differs?
The function name is the same on both: each is a washer. The difference is the host hardware. The 5ELW is a cam screw lock washer tied to the BEST 5E Series cylinder platform and is stocked as a replacement part for cylinder service and repair. The Corbin Russwin 147F84-9 is a Grade 1 ED6000 washer, meaning it is part of an exit device assembly. Match the washer to the brand and device you are opening up rather than to the word washer.
7) Should I order a lock washer or just reuse the old one when servicing a BEST cylinder?
Replace it. A lock washer works by deforming against the screw and the seat; once it has been torqued down and backed off, the tension it holds is reduced and the screw is more likely to loosen again. These are inexpensive service parts, so pull a new one for every cylinder you open.
