BEST BES-8EH7H5626-PC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the BEST 8E Series utility cylinder actually do in a European mortise lockset?
It's a Euro profile cylinder body that takes a BEST 3C European interchangeable core, so a mortise lockset built for a Eurocylinder can be pulled into an existing BEST masterkey system. You keep the lock that's in the door and change the key system behind it, rather than replacing the whole lockset.
2) Single cylinder, double cylinder, turn knob or lever turn - which 8E utility cylinder do I order?
Four configurations are offered. Single cylinder is keyed from one side only, for a door where the inside doesn't need a key. Double cylinder is keyed both sides, which is what you use where the inside face also has to be locked with a key. Turn knob gives you a key outside and a thumbturn inside for egress without a key, and lever turn is the same idea with a lever-style turn piece instead of a knob. The choice depends on which side of the opening needs key control.
3) What information do I need before ordering a BEST 8E utility cylinder?
Have the lock manufacturer name and the lock model number in hand, because the cylinder is selected against the specific mortise lockset it's going into. You'll also be asked for keyway, keymark and marking number when you place the order, all three are required entries.
4) Can I use a standard BEST core instead of a 3C European core in a Euro profile cylinder?
Some Euro profile cylinders will take a BEST standard core, but only when the "E" option is specified on the order. The 8E utility cylinder's native core format is the BEST 3C European interchangeable core, so if you're standardizing on standard figure-eight cores across a facility, call that out when you order rather than assuming it.
5) I'm standardizing keys across a building with mixed European and US locks - does this help?
That's the job it's built for. A facility that has picked up Euro profile mortise locksets from various international manufacturers can't normally be keyed alike with BEST hardware. Dropping the 8E utility cylinder into those locks puts them on BEST 3C European cores, so the same masterkey hierarchy covers the whole building. Common on campus, healthcare and government consolidation work.
6) Which BEST keyways can the 8E utility cylinder be ordered in?
Nine BEST keyways are available: WA, WB, WC, WD, WE, WG, WH, WK and WY. Pick the one that matches the keyway already running through your masterkey system so the new opening keys into the existing hierarchy rather than standing alone.
7) What finishes does the BEST 8E utility cylinder come in, and will it match my other hardware?
Three finishes: 606 satin brass, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. All four configurations (single, double, turn knob, lever turn) are offered in each of the three. 626 satin chrome is the usual match for commercial door hardware specified in satin chrome or brushed nickel-look trim; 625 is the polished version of the same plating.
8) Can I order the 8E cylinder without a core so my locksmith can pin it in house?
Yes. The 8E utility cylinder is offered keyed or less core. Less core suits shops that pin their own BEST cores to an in-house masterkey system and want the housing on site ahead of the keying. If you order keyed, supply the keymark and marking number so it's cut into the existing system.
9) Is this a whole lock or just the cylinder?
Cylinder only. The 8E Union utility cylinder is a replacement part that goes into a mortise lockset you already have or are buying separately. It does not include the lock case, trim, levers or strike.
10) Is there installation documentation for the BEST E Series cylinders?
Yes, the E Series Service Manual covers the cylinder and core installation procedure. Worth reading before the first one goes in, particularly for core retention and the cam orientation in the host lockset.
