Master Lock 296KAW27 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Master Lock 296KAW27, a whole padlock or just the cylinder?
It's the cylinder only, not a complete padlock. The 296KAW27 is a 5-pin replacement cylinder with the W27 keyway, sold as a service part for compatible Master Lock padlocks so you can re-cylinder a lock body instead of buying new locks.
2) If I order several 296KAW27 cylinders, will they all work on one key?
Yes. The 296KAW27 ships keyed alike, so every padlock fitted with one of these cylinders opens with the same key. That's the point of the part for facilities running one key across a set of gates, cages, or electrical panels.
3) Can I use the 296KAW27 to standardize the padlocks already on my building?
Only where the existing padlock bodies accept this cylinder. Because it's a drop-in service cylinder, you can bring compatible Master Lock padlocks onto one W27 keyed-alike key without replacing the locks. Padlocks from other brands, or Master Lock bodies not built for this cylinder, won't take it.
4) Do I need W27 key blanks to cut keys for this cylinder?
Yes. The cylinder is cut to the W27 keyway, so keys must be originated on matching W27 blanks. A key from a different Master Lock keyway will not enter it, and neither will a blank of another section.
5) We run a master key system. Can this cylinder be keyed differently or masterkeyed instead of keyed alike?
As supplied, the 296KAW27 is a keyed-alike cylinder on the W27 keyway. If your program needs keyed-different or masterkeyed padlocks, that's a different keying specification and a different cylinder order, not a variation of this one.
6) Is a 5-pin cylinder enough security for a commercial padlock, or should I look at something higher?
Five pins is the standard commercial tumbler count for this class of padlock cylinder, and the 296KAW27 is specified for commercial use rather than residential. If you need restricted or patented key control, you're into a proprietary high-security keyway instead, not a standard W27 service cylinder.
7) Is the 296KAW27 worth stocking as an MRO spare?
It's built for exactly that. Keeping W27 keyed-alike cylinders on the shelf lets maintenance swap a worn or compromised cylinder out of a padlock body in place, which is why it's catalogued as a replacement service part rather than a finished lock. Common users are schools, hospitals, warehouses, retail, and municipal facilities running standardized key control.
