Dormakaba Lever Locks

dormakaba C100 Series Grade 1: The BEST SFIC-Compatible Lever Lock

The dormakaba C100 Series Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock is the primary specification for facilities on BEST SFIC masterkey programs that want dormakaba hardware. Since dormakaba acquired BEST Access Systems in 2017, BEST SFIC cores are now manufactured under the dormakaba brand and the C100 Series accepts those cores as a standard configuration. Facilities on existing BEST IC programs can specify dormakaba C100 hardware and the existing masterkey infrastructure remains intact. C100 lever designs coordinate with the dormakaba M1000 mortise lock for single-brand hardware schedules. See the full dormakaba brand overview here.

dormakaba C500 Series Grade 2: Light Commercial Applications

The C500 Series is Grade 2 for light commercial, multi-family residential, and corporate interior applications where Grade 1 is over-specified. Available in a clean modern lever design appropriate for hospitality, corporate office, and mixed-use buildings. Finish codes coordinate with dormakaba door closer and exit device finishes for single-brand specifications.

C100 Series SFIC Prep: Confirming the Correct Format

When ordering C100 Series levers with SFIC prep for a BEST IC program, confirm the prep is BEST SFIC format specifically. BEST SFIC and Schlage SFIC share the same external housing dimensions but different keyways and core profiles. Ordering Schlage SFIC prep on a BEST IC program campus means the cores from the existing program won't operate the new locks. Call 877-471-4870 before placing large IC prep orders.
