Kaba Ilco 28027 6-Pin SFIC Construction Core, Keyed Different for Knob/Turnknob Mortise Cylinders

The Kaba Ilco 28027 6-Pin SFIC Construction Core is a small format interchangeable core engineered for commercial mortise cylinder housings prepped for SFIC hardware. Supplied keyed different, this construction core is provided with 2 operating keys and 1 control key, letting locksmiths and contractors run temporary construction keying on the jobsite and pull the core with the control key once permanent cores are ready to install. Configured for knob and turnknob hardware, it drops directly into existing SFIC mortise cylinder trim without disassembling the lock, and its commercial grade classification suits jobsite security needs on commercial construction and renovation projects.

  • Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC): Designed to drop into SFIC-prepped mortise cylinder housings, allowing the core to be pulled and swapped without disassembling the lock.

  • Commercial-Grade Application: Classified for commercial use, making it suited to jobsite security needs on commercial builds and renovations where interchangeable core systems are already specified.
  • Knob and Turnknob Compatibility: Configured for knob-style hardware and turnknob function, aligning with SFIC mortise cylinder trim already in place on the door.

Kaba Ilco 28027-BA-26D-KD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Kaba Ilco 28027 construction core fit my existing Best SFIC housings?
The 28027 is a small format interchangeable core built to drop into SFIC-prepped housings, and it is offered in Best A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M and Q keyways. If your housings are already cored for a small format figure-eight core in one of those Best keyways, this core seats in them and pulls out with the control key. Match the keyway letter to the system already on the building, since a core cut for an A keyway will not enter a B or C keyed housing.
2) What keys come with the Kaba Ilco 28027 construction core?
Each core ships keyed different with 2 operating keys and 1 control key. The operating keys run the door during the build; the control key is what retracts the core lug so you can pull the core and drop in the permanent one. Keyed different means each core has its own unique combination rather than being keyed alike across the order, so if you want a whole floor of temporary doors on one key, this is not the configuration for that.
3) Do I have to replace the whole cylinder when construction is finished?
No. That is the point of the interchangeable core workflow. You run the job on the temporary core, then use the control key to extract it and insert the permanent core. The housing, the knob trim and the lock body all stay on the door untouched, so there is no disassembly and no re-prepping the opening.
4) Can this SFIC core be used in knob locks, or only mortise cylinders?
The 28027 is configured for knob-style hardware and turnknob function, and it also serves as a replacement or spare core for SFIC mortise cylinder installations. Any SFIC housing that takes a standard small format core in the matching Best keyway will accept it, whether that housing is a mortise cylinder shell, a rim housing, or a knob or lever chassis.
5) Can a property manager keep spare Kaba Ilco SFIC cores on hand for rekeying instead of buying new cylinders?
Yes, and that is a common way to run an SFIC building. Because this is a replacement part core, a stock of cores in your building's keyway lets maintenance rekey an opening in seconds by pulling one core and inserting another, without sourcing a whole new cylinder or pulling the lock off the door. Keep the control key secured, since anyone holding it can remove cores building-wide.
6) Is this core meant for residential doors or commercial buildings?
Commercial. The 28027 is classified for commercial use and is intended for jobsite security on commercial builds and renovations where an interchangeable core system is already specified. Typical settings are office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities. For a single-family home with standard key-in-knob locks, an SFIC core has nothing to seat into.
