BEST BES-8EE7E8626-SC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 8E Series euro profile cylinder let me put a European mortise lockset on my BEST masterkey system?
That is exactly what it is for. The 8E Series X turn knob profile utility cylinder replaces the cylinder in a European mortise lockset and accepts BEST 3C European interchangeable cores, so the opening keys into the same masterkey system as the rest of your BEST hardware. It is meant for mortise locksets from international manufacturers, and BEST asks you to give the lock maker's name and model number when ordering so the right cylinder is matched to the lock.
2) Does this euro cylinder take a BEST 3C core or a BEST standard core?
The 8E Series euro profile cylinder is built around the BEST 3C European core. Some euro profile cylinders instead take a BEST standard core, and in that case you have to specify the "E" option when ordering standard cores for Eurocylinder use. Get that decision made before you order, because a standard core will not drop into a 3C-prepped cylinder.
3) What is the difference between the keyed and less core versions of the BEST 8E cylinder?
Keyed means the cylinder ships with a core in it, and you tell us the keyway, keymark and marking number so it pins into your existing system. Less core is the cylinder housing only, for locksmiths and facilities that pin their own cores from stock, or for jobs where keyways and key marks are not being specified yet. Both options are offered in every finish: 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel and 626 satin chrome.
4) Which BEST keyways can I order this euro cylinder in?
When you order it keyed, you pick from twenty BEST keyways: A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, R, TB, TC, TD and TE. You also supply the keymark and the marking number so the core is cut into your existing system rather than arriving on a random key. If you are adding an opening to an established BEST system, use the same keyway already in service on that facility.
5) What does the turn knob side of the 8E cylinder do, and do I still need a key on the outside?
This is the X turn knob configuration, so one side is a thumbturn and the other takes the core. That is the usual arrangement for a unit entry or office door where you key the corridor side and let someone inside lock up by hand. The same 8E family is also offered in single and double cylinder configurations if you want key access from both faces instead.
6) I manage a building with imported doors and hardware from different makers. Will one cylinder type cover them all?
Not automatically. The 8E utility cylinder is made to integrate mortise locksets from a range of international manufacturers, but BEST wants the lock manufacturer's name and model number at order time because euro profile locks vary. Pull the maker and model off each lock case first, then order per opening. Done that way, a mixed set of imported locks can all end up on one BEST masterkey system.
7) Can I match the BEST 8E euro cylinder to the finish of the lever trim already on my doors?
Four finishes are offered: 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so you can match the code on your existing trim rather than eyeballing it. Every finish is available both keyed and less core.
8) Is there documentation for servicing or re-coring the BEST E Series cylinder?
Yes, BEST publishes an E Series Service Manual covering the cylinder family, and it is the reference for core installation and service procedures on these units. Worth having in hand if your maintenance staff will be swapping cores rather than a contracted locksmith.
