Pro-Lok - IC/A2 Decoder

Yes. The Pro-Lok IC/A2 Key Decoder is built for Best/Falcon and other interchangeable core keys cut to standard A2 depth increments. If the key you are reading uses A2 spacing and depths, this reads it. Keys cut on a different increment system will not decode correctly against these steps.

Yes, that is the common use. Hand an unmarked interchangeable core key to the decoder, seat each cut against the corresponding step, and you get the bitting written down instead of guessing which core it belongs to. It works for Best and Falcon I/C keys and any other I/C key cut to standard A2 increments, which covers most SFIC systems in commercial buildings.

The Sure Stop steps give the key a positive stop at each depth rather than making you eyeball a gauge line. You seat the cut against the step, read the depth, and move on. That is what makes it usable for decoding an existing key, re-keying a core, and setting up code cuts without second-guessing a borderline reading.

It is made from heavy duty stainless steel, so it holds its step edges against repeated key contact and does not rust in a truck box or a service bag. A stamped aluminum or plastic gauge wears its reference edges over time and starts giving you soft readings; stainless is the reason this one stays accurate.

It is a decoder, not a cutter. The Pro-Lok IC/A2 reads the depths on an existing I/C key so you know the bitting, and it helps you set up code cuts, but the actual cutting still happens on your key machine. Pair it with your A2-capable machine and pinning kit to complete a re-key.

The IC/A2 decoder is offered as a single model, KDIC, so there is one configuration to order rather than a choice of sizes or depth systems. Order one per tech who works SFIC in the field.
