BEST BES-8EH7H5626-SC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a BEST 8E Series union utility cylinder actually do?
It's a eurocylinder body that takes a BEST standard core, so a European-profile mortise lockset can run on the same BEST masterkey system as the rest of your doors. You keep the imported lock in the door and change the key control, rather than swapping the lock for a domestic one.
2) Which BEST core goes in the 8E eurocylinder?
A BEST standard core ordered with the "E" option specification. The E option is what makes the core seat correctly in the eurocylinder housing, so a plain standard core off another opening is not automatically the right part.
3) What information does BEST need from me to build the right eurocylinder for my lock?
The lock manufacturer's name and the model number of the lockset it's going into. Eurocylinder bodies vary by lock, so the cylinder is matched to the target hardware. 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 supply a keymark and a marking number for the keying record.
4) Can I get a single cylinder, a double, or a thumbturn version of the 8E eurocylinder?
All four configurations are built: single cylinder, double cylinder, turn knob, and lever turn. Single is keyed one side only. Double is keyed both sides. Turn knob and lever turn give you a key outside and a turn inside, with the lever turn being the easier one to operate with a full hand or a gloved hand.
5) I have European locksets from several different brands in one building. Can they all be keyed alike on one BEST system?
That's the point of the 8E. Different international manufacturers' mortise locksets can be brought into one BEST masterkeyed system through these cylinders, so a facility with mixed imported hardware runs on a single key hierarchy. Each cylinder is still ordered against its specific lock make and model, and all of them need to share a keyway and keymark for the system to work.
6) What finishes does the BEST 8E eurocylinder come in, and will it match my existing BEST hardware?
Three finishes: 606 satin brass, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. 626 is the usual commercial default and is what most BEST cores and trim on a building are already specified in, so that's the one that blends with an existing standard. All three finishes are offered in every configuration, single, double, turn knob and lever turn.
7) Can I buy the 8E eurocylinder without a core if I pin my own?
Yes. It's offered keyed with core or less core, so a locksmith running their own BEST system can take the housing alone and drop in a core already pinned to the building's master. If you order less core, remember the core still has to be the E option type.
8) Is the 8E a full lock or just the cylinder?
Just the cylinder. It's a replacement cylinder for a mortise lockset that already has a euro-profile cylinder pocket in it. The lock case, trim, latch and strike stay as they are. If the existing lock is failing mechanically, the cylinder won't fix it.
9) Where can I find the service and keying instructions for BEST E Series cylinders?
BEST publishes an E Series Service Manual covering core integration and installation for the E Series cylinder family, and the 8E falls under that collection. Read it alongside the documentation for whatever lockset the cylinder is going into, since the lock's own cam and fixing requirements come from that manufacturer.
