Schlage 48-102-C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Schlage 48-102 key blank work in my Schlage C keyway cylinders?
The 48-102 is a C section blank, so it cuts for Schlage cylinders keyed in C, the conventional (non-restricted) Schlage section that most commercial cylinders run. It is notched for all ward positions, meaning the milling clears the wards across that section instead of being tied to one ward variation. Check a working key for the C stamp on the bow or blade before you order, and note this is a commercial blank.
2) Does the Schlage 48-102 emergency key come cut or is it uncut?
It ships uncut. There is no bitting in it, so a locksmith or anyone with a key machine cuts it to your C section bitting once it arrives. Order it when you want spares cut locally rather than expecting a working key out of the package.
3) Will a Schlage C key blank work in an Everest or Primus cylinder?
No. Everest and Primus cylinders use their own restricted key sections, and the Everest keyway carries a check pin that a conventional blank has no undercut to clear, so a C blank will not enter the plug. The 48-102 belongs in standard C keyed Schlage cylinders. If your keys are stamped for a restricted system, those blanks come through whoever controls that keying system, not off the shelf.
4) I have Schlage locks across a whole building, can I stock one key blank for all of them?
If every cylinder is keyed in the C section, this single blank covers them. It is non-handed, so door swing makes no difference to it, and because it is notched for all ward positions it is not limited to one ward variation within the section. What it will not cover is any opening running a restricted or patented section, which needs its own blank. Pull one key from each door type and compare the section stamp before you standardize on a single blank for the site.
5) Can the Schlage 48-102 be cut to a change key in an existing master key system?
Yes, provided the system is built on the C section. An uncut blank imposes nothing beyond the keyway, so it takes whatever bitting the keying schedule calls for, change key or master. Whoever holds your key records supplies the bitting to the cutter.
6) Is the Schlage 48-102 marked so I can identify it in a parts bin?
The blank is embossed on both sides and uses the standard Schlage bow, so it reads the same whichever way it lands in the drawer and it tags or stamps like any other standard bow key. That is what keeps a C blank out of the wrong tray when you stock more than one section.
