BEST CORMAX 1AM Series Standard Shape Blank Key
The BEST CORMAX 1AM Series is a patented commercial key blank engineered for facilities that need strong key control without replacing an entire lock system. Its unique side pin design prevents unauthorized duplication — patent protection runs through 2027 — and the blank operates on both CORMAX and Standard cores, making it the go-to choice for phased retrofits where CORMAX security is added to perimeter and high-value openings while existing hardware stays in place.
Key Features
- Patented duplication protection through 2027 — restricted key control enforced at the factory level
- Hybrid core compatibility — works with both CORMAX and Standard cores; no full system replacement required
- Unique side pin design — strengthens mechanical security beyond standard commercial keyways
- Standard (1AM) bow shape — fits standard key rings and hardware; compatible with high-volume commercial applications
- Available in keyways MJ, MK, ML, and MM — select the keyway that matches your existing CORMAX system
- Five key types — Operating, Control, Master, Submaster, and Grandmaster blanks available on this listing
