Product Description
Rekeying a building or setting up a new master key system? The BEST 1CB7B81626 is a uncombinated SFIC core, Satin Chrome (US26D/626). Ships with no pins, no springs, and no keys — your locksmith combinates it on site to match your building's keyway and master key system. Drop it into any standard SFIC housing and the operating key turns the lock while the control key swaps the core in seconds.
No Keys Included. This core ships uncombinated. Operating keys and control key must be ordered separately, or the core must be combinated by a qualified locksmith to match your keyway. SFIC control keys have completely different bitting than operating keys — they work a second shear line inside the figure-8 core to release the retaining lug.
Pro-Tip from Our Locksmiths: Uncombinated cores ship with no pins, no springs, and no keys — your locksmith pins them to your building's master key system on site. If you're doing a full rekey, order cores and have your locksmith combinate them all at once. Need bottom pins, springs, or key blanks? Call us at (877) 365-5625.
