It ships uncombinated only, with a blank core face. That means no cuts, no pinning, and no keys in the box. A locksmith or in-house shop combinates it to your keyway and key system using a combinating kit. If you need cores that arrive ready to install and keyed, this is not that part.

Orderable keyways are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M, and each is available in either Satin Brass (US4) or Satin Chrome (US26D). Stanley lists 26 keyways across the core program overall, so if your building is keyed to something outside A through M you are looking at a different keyway family.

The core is built on the 6-pin configuration, and Stanley offers the same body in 7-pin as well. Pin count has to match the master key system the rest of your building runs on, so if your existing cores are 7-pin, order the 7-pin version rather than pinning a 6-pin core up.

It is a small format interchangeable core, the standard SFIC figure-eight format, so it fits any SFIC housing on your openings: rim housings on exit devices, mortise housings, cylindrical knob and lever cores. The catch is the keyway. The core only works in a housing cut for the same keyway family, and it has to be pinned to your key system before it will turn.

An SFIC core by itself will not operate a rim exit device. You need an SFIC rim cylinder housing to carry it, plus the tailpiece for that device. Arrow's 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing is a 6/7-pin housing for the 24/25 Series that does exactly that job. Order the housing and the core together, then have the core combinated.

No. The Stanley Security 6-pin uncombinated small format interchangeable core is the figure-eight core itself, shipped uncombinated with a blank core face in 626 satin chrome or 606 satin brass. The Arrow 16RCR-27 is an SFIC rim housing built to accept a 6- or 7-pin small format core, listed for Arrow's 24/25 Series. On a rim exit device you typically need both: the housing that mounts to the device and the core that drops into it. Order the Stanley core when the housing is already on the door, and pair it with a housing when you are building the cylinder assembly from scratch.

Two finishes: 626 Satin Chrome (US26D) and 606 Satin Brass (US4). US26D is the common commercial finish and matches most satin chrome levers, exit device trim and closers. If your building is on a brass or bronze scheme, the US4 core is the closer match. Only the core face shows once it is installed, so matching the housing finish matters more than matching the whole opening.

The keying option on record is keyed different, meaning each core is intended to carry its own key change rather than all opening to one key. Since they arrive uncombinated anyway, the actual keying, whether keyed alike sets, keyed different, or a master keyed system, is determined when your locksmith pins them.

Yes, it is classified as a mortise cylinder application, so it goes into an SFIC mortise housing in a mortise lock case. You still order the housing separately and match the cam to the lock function. The core itself is the removable, rekeyable piece.

Only if the device already has a cylinder housing prepped for a small format interchangeable core; the Stanley Security core is the 6-pin uncombinated cylinder insert, not a device retrofit. If you are converting a 36 inch or 48 inch 33A device to cylinder dogging, the Von Duprin 040070/040071 kit is the 33/35 Series cylinder dogging with indicator conversion kit for that change, and it is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated application. The Stanley core is what goes into the cylinder once that prep exists.

No. The Stanley Security small format interchangeable core is a keyed cylinder for commercial door hardware and has no role in latching. A latching fault is a latch or rod component: for Accentra 7110/7120 devices the 60-7010-0049-999 top latch replacement component covers it, the 7110F fire device uses 60-7010-0050-999, Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod is 610061 for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, and Falcon T Series square corner deadlatches use 23981160 in the 2-3/8 inch size. Reserve the Stanley core for key control and rekeying.

Commercial. It is built for the interchangeable core systems used in schools, healthcare, multi-family and office buildings, where facilities staff pull and swap cores with a control key instead of rekeying locks one at a time. That is the main reason to standardize a property on SFIC in the first place.

The Stanley Security core keys an individual cylinder and comes keyed different, so each opening carries its own key unless you combinate to a system. It does not address the open gap on a double door pair. For that, the Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers are an exit device accessory for mullion installations. A common build is a mullion on the pair plus a Stanley core in each device cylinder.

Yes, they are independent changes. Quiet electric latch retraction is a device conversion: Von Duprin 040061 is the QEL modular conversion kit for 3-foot and 4-foot 33A, 35A, 98 and 99 Series devices at Grade 1, while AX devices use the 04116 QELX modular conversion kit or the 041166 QELX baseplate conversion kit. None of those change the cylinder prep, so the Stanley Security 6-pin small format interchangeable core in 626 satin chrome or 606 satin brass still serves the key side of the opening.
