CORMAX™ Specification Data

CORMAX™ is a premier patented keying system that meets all of your needs for higher security, key control, and convenience.

X Series Keyway Features

  • X Series keyways are unique to CORMAX™ offering even higher key duplication protection.
  • Thicker key blanks with larger bow for added strength and easier handling.
  • Recommended for large facilities in multi-building campuses.

M Series Keyway Features

  • Four keyways in one family.
  • M Series CORMAX™ keys operate both CORMAX™ and BEST® standard cores (backward compatibility) with J, K, L, and M keyways. BEST® standard keys do not operate CORMAX™ cores.
  • Available in large bow, long blade, and long nose key blanks to work with special applications.
  • Enables seamless, phase-in upgrades in large facilities and multi-building campuses since CORMAX™ cores can be installed in openings demanding higher security while keeping the existing BEST® cores in the remaining areas.

M Series Backward Compatibility

  • * Keyway offerings will continue to grow.
  • ** Certain restrictions apply.
  • *** Additional charges will apply.
