Kwikset 87615-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Kwikset 87615-001 key blank used for?
It's a control key blank for Kwikset 6-pin knobs and deadbolts set up for master keying. A control key blank is cut to operate the control function on that hardware, not to be handed out as a user key. It ships uncut, so a locksmith or keying shop cuts it to your system.
2) What is the difference between the Kwikset 87615-001 control key blank and the Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC key blank?
They cut on different keyways and serve different purposes. The Kwikset 87615-001 is a control key blank for 6-pin knobs and deadbolts, used in master-keyed Kwikset systems. The Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC is a key blank cut on the Schlage C keyway. A Schlage C blank will not enter a Kwikset cylinder, so the two are not interchangeable - match the blank to the keyway stamped on the cylinder you are servicing.
3) Is the Kwikset 87615-001 key blank meant for commercial or residential hardware?
Residential. It matches Kwikset knobs and deadbolts of the type used on homes and multi-family unit doors rather than commercial mortise or cylindrical lock lines.
4) I manage apartments on a Kwikset master key system. Do I order this blank or a standard change key blank?
Depends on what you're cutting. For unit keys and the master key itself, you want ordinary Kwikset change/master blanks. The 87615-001 is the control key blank for 6-pin masterkeyed knobs and deadbolts, so you'd order it when you need the control key for the system, typically kept by management and not duplicated for residents.
5) Does the Kwikset 87615-001 come cut or do I need it keyed?
It comes as a blank. Nothing is cut into it, so it has to be cut to your system's control key bitting by a locksmith or a shop with the code and a key machine.
6) Can I use a standard key blank like the Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC as a control key?
No. A control key is a specific blank used to operate the control function in a master-keyed system, which is what the Kwikset 87615-001 6-pin knob and deadbolt control key blank is made for. The Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC is a plain Schlage C keyway key blank and does not substitute for a Kwikset control key blank.
7) For a residential property with mixed Kwikset and Emtek hardware, do I need both blanks?
Yes, if the cylinders differ. The Kwikset 87615-001 is a residential control key blank for 6-pin knobs and deadbolts, while the Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC covers the Schlage C keyway. Keyway determines the blank, so a portfolio running both cylinder types needs a stock of each rather than one blank standardized across the doors.
