1E Series – Features

1E Mortise Cylinder

Standard mortise applications require use of BEST's 1E series cylinders with standard 1E-C4 cam. BEST cylinders may be

altered to function with other manufacturers' locks by use of different cams (see page 8) and different cylinder rings (see page 9). Special cylinder variations are available for most applications (see pages 4 & 5). BEST cylinders are machined from brass or bronze bar stock and are available in a variety of finishes. Additional security is provided by a set screw that mounts diagonally in the cylinder wall and when tightened, holds the cylinder securely in the housing. BEST mortise cylinders feature the BEST interchangeable core and may be master-keyed into any existing BEST system. Contact your local BEST sales office for information on special cylinder applications not listed in this catalog.

CORMAX™ Patented Keying System

Eurocylinders

Special Europrofiles

Mortise locksets from a number of different international manufacturers can be incorporated into your BEST masterkeyed system by replacing the cylinder with a BEST Eurocylinder and 3C European interchangeable core. When ordering, please specify the lock manufacturer's name and their model number. Some Euro profile cylinders will accept BEST standard core rather than the 3C core. Please specify the "E" option when ordering standard cores for use in Eurocylinders.

BEST order nomenclature and several required critical dimensions are listed below.

Please specify, as requested when ordering.

Critical Dimensions - Europrofile

  • "A"– Dimension to center of lockset case. Determined by measuring from set screw location to outside of door face.
  • "B"– Door thickness.
  • "C"– Dimension from center of key rotation to center of handle rotation, if other than 72mm. Maximum allowed– 114mm. Minimum allowed– 37mm

Cylinders and Cams

Special cams are available which will operate most mortise locksets, regardless of make or function. With these cams,your masterkeyed system can be extended through the use of replacement cylinders with cams similar to those being used. A few of the cams are illustrated. Other designs are available upon request. All cams available are designed for use on BEST mortise cylinders.

WARNING– BEST desires to provide up-to-date and reliable product adaptation uses. However, BEST cannot guarantee the quality of other manufacturers' locksets. In addition, other lock manufacturers' may make changes to their product that affect the operation and compatibility of our core and cylinder adaptation. When this occurs, those manufacturers' have no obligation to notify BEST. If you are using a BEST cylinder in another manufacturers' lockset and find that it does not operate properly for any reason, please contact your local BEST sales office immediately.

Utility Cylinder Lock Refer To The Following Procedure When Ordering. See Order Example At Bottom Of Last Page.

A

Cam Motion and Degree of Rotation

When ordering 5E cylinders, specify the cam motion type and degree of rotation. Available cam motion types are listed below. Different type motions are limited to different degrees of key rotations.

Type A – Direct motion - Key and cam rotation is direct. Key may be removed in locked position only. Motion is 360 degrees right or left.

Type B – Limited motion - Key and cam rotation is direct. Key may be removed in locked position only. Motion is limited to 90 degrees or 180 degrees right or left.

Type C – Lost motion. Cam rotates 90 degrees right or left. Key rotates 360 degrees. Key removal with cam in locked or unlocked position.

Type D – Throw member drive - Key and drive motion is direct. Key may be removed in locked position only. Motion is 360 degrees right or left.

A spacer collar may be required to position the cam for proper lock operation. The spacer collar is installed between the 5E cylinder head and the mounting surface. To determine the proper length of the spacer collar, add together: the desired distance from the cam to the inside of the mounting surface ("A" above) to the measured thickness of the mounting surface ("B" above). Then, subtract this total from: 31⁄32" when installing a 5E6, or 1 1⁄8" when installing a 5E7. The remainder is the collar length, which is illustrated.

To properly order spacer collars, designate the following nomenclature for the length desired:
