Kaba Ilco A1114A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ilco A1114 key blank work in a BEST interchangeable core?
Yes. The Ilco A1114 is the blank cut for BEST small format interchangeable core cylinders, so it feeds the SFIC housings you already have on file cabinets, padlocks, mortise and rim housings, and knob/lever cores. What it does not do is pick your keyway for you: BEST keyways run A through M and beyond, and the blank has to match the keyway of the core you are pinning. Order the letter that matches the core, not just the A1114 family.
2) Which A1114 keyway letter do I order for my BEST cores?
Sixteen keyway styles are offered: A1114A, B, C, D, E, F, FM, G, H, J, K, L, M, Q, R and TB. Pick the one stamped or recorded for your keying system, since a blank in the wrong keyway will not enter the core no matter how it is cut. If you run a master keyed building, your keying schedule or the locksmith who set it up will name the letter. Buying a mixed handful of letters to find out which one fits is the usual mistake here.
3) Is there a minimum order quantity on Ilco A1114 key blanks?
Fifty pieces minimum per order, per the product name. These are sold as shop stock rather than singles, which suits a locksmith cutting keys for a property or an in-house maintenance shop keying a building. If you only need a handful of keys cut, you are buying a box, not a key.
4) Can I use these A1114 blanks for keys on a master keyed building?
Yes, within one keyway. The A1114 is a blank, not a finished key, so it gets cut to whatever change, master or control key bitting your system calls for. Because BEST style interchangeable cores let you swap the core rather than the lock, a maintenance crew can rekey a unit in seconds and cut a new key off these blanks the same day. Every key you cut must be on the keyway letter that system uses.
5) Do I need special equipment to cut Ilco A1114 blanks?
You need a key machine, so these are for a locksmith or a maintenance shop that already cuts its own keys. The A1114 ships as an uncut blank with no bitting, which is the point: you cut it to your system's code or duplicate it from an existing key. Buying blanks without a machine or a locksmith lined up leaves you with fifty pieces of unusable brass.
6) Are Ilco A1114 blanks nickel plated brass or nickel silver?
The A1114 is nickel plated. Ilco makes cylinder key blanks in either brass or nickel silver, and plates many of them in nickel for a bright, durable finish that holds up in a pocket and on a ring. For a property manager handing out tenant or staff keys, the practical benefit is that the plating resists the dulling and tarnish you get on bare brass after a year of daily use.
7) Is the Ilco A1114 a commercial key blank or a residential one?
Commercial. The A1114 is a commercial grade blank for BEST interchangeable core cylinders, which is the hardware you find in schools, hospitals, office buildings and multi-family properties rather than in a typical house. Ilco's broader cylinder key line spans both residential and commercial blanks, but this one is on the commercial side of it.
8) Does the A1114 key blank come with a plastic head or is it all metal?
The A1114 is a metal head blank, nickel plated. Ilco does offer plastic head keys in assorted colors when you want quick visual sorting between, say, common area keys and unit keys, but that is a different blank. If color coding matters for your fleet, use key caps or tags on these rather than expecting a colored head.
