BEST BES-9AK0B116140 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which BEST keyways and pin sizes does the Peaks 9AK blockout blade key blank come in?
The Peaks 9AK blockout blade blank is offered in ten keyways, B1 through B10, and each keyway is available in three pin configurations: 6-pin for the 140 Series, 6-pin for the 150 Series, and 7-pin for the 150 Series. You need to know both the keyway your system is set up on and the core series and pin count before you order, because a 6-pin 140 Series blank is not interchangeable with a 7-pin 150 Series blank.
2) What information do I need to give a distributor to get the right Peaks 9AK blanks for my existing system?
Three things settle the order: the keyway (B1 through B10), the pin size and core series (6-pin 140 Series, 6-pin 150 Series, or 7-pin 150 Series), and the blade shape your system was built on (9AK Blockout rather than 1AK Peaks). With a patented system, the distributor also has to verify you are on the authorized user record for that key system before releasing blanks.
3) What is the difference between the BEST Peaks 1AK and the 9AK blockout blade key shape?
BEST offers Peaks keys in two blade shapes: 1AK Peaks and 9AK Blockout. The 9AK uses the blockout blade configuration, which gives tighter key control than a standard key blank profile. If your existing Peaks cores were set up on 1AK, ordering 9AK blanks will not give you working keys, so match the blade shape already in your system.
4) Can I buy Peaks 9AK blanks and cut them myself, or do they have to come from a distributor?
Peaks keys are supplied only through authorized BEST distributors. That restricted distribution is the point of the system: it keeps unauthorized duplication off the street and keeps the key record with the people administering the system. The blanks themselves are cut on your Peaks bitting to match the cylinders and cores they serve.
5) If we standardize a facility on BEST Peaks now, can we upgrade the security level later?
Yes. Peaks is positioned as the entry point in BEST's patented key control line, and it carries an upgrade path to BEST CORMAX or BEST Preferred components when a facility needs expanded functionality. For a school district or hospital rolling out a master key system in phases, that means the first phase of cores and keys does not lock you out of a higher level later.
6) Can I use a generic aftermarket key blank instead of a BEST Peaks 9AK?
No. Aftermarket blanks like the Kaba Ilco CH1C, a nickel silver blank cut for the Arrow 1C keyway, cover open keyways and cannot reproduce a patented Peaks blockout blade. Open blanks exist because those keyways are unrestricted, which is the opposite of what a Peaks system is for. If you are on Peaks, the only key that will run your cores is an authorized Peaks blank.
7) What is the difference between a standard key blank and a patented blockout blade blank for a master key system?
A standard blank such as the Kaba Ilco CH1C is an open-market nickel silver blank for the Arrow 1C keyway, which any shop with that blank can cut. The BEST Peaks 9AK blockout blade blank is part of a patented key control program: the blade geometry blocks unauthorized blanks from operating Peaks cylinders and cores, and the blanks are distributed only through authorized BEST distributors. For a school, hospital, or multi-tenant property that needs to control duplication across a master key system, that distribution restriction is the practical difference; for a single Arrow cylinder with no key control requirement, the open blank covers the job.
8) I need blanks for an existing BEST system that is not Peaks - will the 9AK work?
The 9AK blockout blade blank is specific to the BEST Peaks patented keying program and is intended for Peaks cylinders and cores, which also carry an upgrade path to BEST CORMAX or BEST Preferred components. It is not a generic BEST blank. Confirm the core in the door is a Peaks core before ordering, then match the keyway letter, B1 through B10, and the pin count of the core - 6-pin 140 series, 6-pin 150 series, or 7-pin 150 series. A blank cut for a different manufacturer's keyway, such as the Kaba Ilco CH1C for Arrow 1C, will not serve as a stand-in.
9) Is the BEST Peaks 9AK key blank suitable for residential use or is it a commercial product?
It is a commercial product. Peaks key control is built for buildings with a key administrator, multi-level masterkeying and turnover: office towers, schools, healthcare, government buildings, multi-tenant property and industrial restricted areas. A single-family home has no use for the distribution controls that come with it.
