Kaba Ilco 28026-BA-26D-KD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Kaba Ilco SFIC construction core used for on a new building job?
A construction core is the temporary core you drop into the SFIC housings during construction so the trades can get in and out, then pull out the day the building turns over. The Kaba Ilco 6 pin SFIC construction core ships keyed different with 2 operating keys and 1 control key: the control key rotates the figure-eight core out of the housing without taking the lock apart, so the permanent cores go in at handover in seconds and everyone who held a construction key is locked out. No door prep, no cylinder swap, no hardware change.
2) Will a 6 pin SFIC core fit my existing 7 pin small format housings?
Yes. Small format interchangeable core housings are cut for the 7 pin figure-eight profile, and a 6 pin core drops into the same housing and turns the same cam or tailpiece. What you cannot do is run 6 pin and 7 pin cores on one masterkey system without the system being designed for it, since the pin stack depths differ. For a construction system that gets pulled at handover, the Kaba Ilco 6 pin core works in any standard SFIC prep, whatever pin count the permanent cores end up being.
3) Keyed different or keyed alike for construction cores, which do I want?
The Kaba Ilco 6 pin construction cores are keyed different, meaning every core has its own key. That suits a job where different trades or different tenants need separated access, or where a GC wants a unit key that only opens one door. If you want one key to open every temporary opening on the site, keyed different is the wrong choice and you want construction cores keyed alike instead. Each keyed different core comes with 2 operating keys and 1 control key.
4) Does a Kaba Ilco SFIC core work in knobs, levers, mortise locks and exit device trim?
That is the point of small format interchangeable core: one core format serves every SFIC-prepped device on the building. The Kaba Ilco 6 pin core is a commercial small format core and seats in any housing built for it, including SFIC knob and lever locksets, SFIC mortise housings, rim cylinder housings for exit devices, and padlocks. What decides function is the housing and its cam or tailpiece, not the core, so one construction core part number covers the whole opening schedule.
5) Can I leave a construction core in place permanently as the finished lock core?
You can, but it defeats the reason you bought it. Construction cores are meant to be pulled at handover so that every key handed to a sub during the build goes dead at once. Leaving Kaba Ilco construction cores in the housings means the drywall crew's key still opens the building. Order permanent 6 or 7 pin SFIC cores in the same keyway for the finished system and swap them with the control key.
6) Do I need anything besides the core, or does it include the housing?
The core alone. A Kaba Ilco 6 pin SFIC construction core is a replacement core that goes into an SFIC housing you already have, and the housing is what carries the cam, tailpiece or rim ring that drives the lock. If the doors are not already prepped with small format housings, the core has nothing to seat in and you need the SFIC-prepped lockset, mortise housing or rim cylinder housing as well.
7) How many keys come with a Kaba Ilco keyed different construction core?
Three keys per core: 2 operating keys and 1 control key. Two operating keys is thin for a construction site where a super, a sub and an inspector all want in, so most buyers order duplicates against the keyway up front. The control key is the one that matters at closeout, it pulls the core out of the housing. Keep it off the site keyring.
8) Is this a commercial grade core or something for residential doors?
Commercial. Small format interchangeable core is a commercial and institutional keying platform, and the Kaba Ilco 6 pin construction core is catalogued for commercial use. Residential doors almost never have SFIC-prepped housings, so if the doors on your project take a standard Kwikset or Schlage keyed cylinder, this core will not go in and you need a conventional cylinder instead.
