Kaba Ilco C26026-SC 6-Pin LFIC Construction Core with Schlage Keyway and Control Key

The Kaba Ilco C26026-SC 6-Pin LFIC Construction Core is built in the Schlage 6 pin keyway format for commercial interchangeable core cylinder systems. This construction core ships in a Blue finish, a color used to visually identify temporary jobsite cores, and includes 2 operating keys and 1 control key for immediate installation and later core removal.

Kaba Ilco C26026-SC-BLUE-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Kaba Ilco C26026-SC construction core fit my Schlage large format interchangeable core cylinders?
Yes, if those housings take a large format interchangeable core in the Schlage 6-pin keyway. The C26026-SC is built to the Schlage 6-pin LFIC format, so it drops into Schlage-based interchangeable core housings, including mortise cylinder housings. It will not fit small format (best-style figure-eight) housings, which are a different core profile entirely.
2) What keys come with the Kaba Ilco C26026-SC construction core?
Two operating keys and one control key ship with the core. The control key is the one that matters on a jobsite: it pulls the core out of the housing so you can swap in the permanent core at turnover without touching the lock body or pulling the door apart.
3) Do I have to rekey the locks when construction finishes, or can I just swap the core?
Swap the core. That is the whole reason for a large format interchangeable core system: at turnover you use the control key to pull the blue construction core and insert the permanent core, and the housing, lock body and door prep all stay as installed. No pinning, no disassembly, and the permanent keying plan is never exposed to trades during the build.
4) Why is this LFIC core blue?
The blue finish is a jobsite marker. It tells anyone looking at the door that the cylinder is still on temporary construction keying, not the permanent keying plan, so a walkthrough can spot at a glance which openings still need their final cores installed. It carries no functional difference from a standard finish core.
5) Is the C26026-SC core keyed alike or keyed different?
It ships keyed as a construction core with 2 operating keys supplied, so the two keys operate that core. If you need a run of openings on one construction key across a building, order them as a single keyed-alike group rather than assuming separate orders will match.
6) Can I put this core in a knob or lever lockset, or is it mortise only?
It is catalogued for mortise cylinder use and for knob-type hardware, so it suits knob locksets and mortise locks that are prepped for a Schlage-format large format interchangeable core. What decides it is the housing: any LFIC-prepped cylinder in the Schlage 6-pin format accepts it, regardless of whether the trim is a knob or a lever.
7) Is a construction core secure enough to leave on the building during the build?
It is a standard 6-pin cylinder core, so it gives real key control during the build while keeping the permanent keying plan out of circulation. The point is that every subcontractor key dies the moment the blue core comes out at turnover, so lost jobsite keys never become a building security problem later.
8) Is this a residential or commercial grade core?
Commercial. The C26026-SC is a commercial door hardware cylinder part, intended for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant residential where an interchangeable core keying program is already in place.
