Product Description
Need a drop-in SFIC core that's ready to go out of the box? The Kaba Ilco 28027-BQ-04-KD is a 7-Pin combinated SFIC core in Q - Best keyway, Satin Brass (US4/606). Ships pinned and keyed different (KD) with 2 operating keys and 1 control key — plug it into any standard SFIC housing, turn the key, done.
Includes 2 Operating Keys + 1 Control Key. The control key has completely different bitting than the operating keys — it works a second shear line inside the figure-8 core to release the retaining lug, letting you swap cores in seconds without disassembling the lock.
Pro-Tip from Our Locksmiths: This core comes combinated and ready to install with operating and control keys. If you're doing a multi-door project and need all cores keyed alike, call us at (877) 365-5625 before ordering — we can set up KA or MK groups. Each core on the same keyway shares a control key bitting, so you only need one control key per keyway for the whole building.
