Schlage IC Cores

Schlage SFIC vs. BEST SFIC: Not Interchangeable Despite Similar Housings

Schlage SFIC and BEST SFIC share the same external housing dimensions this is the most common and costly ordering error in commercial hardware. The keyways and core profiles are different. A BEST SFIC core won't operate in a Schlage SFIC housing and vice versa. When ordering cores for a Schlage SFIC masterkey program, confirm the format is Schlage SFIC specifically. When ordering Schlage lever locks for a BEST SFIC program campus, order with BEST SFIC prep, not Schlage SFIC prep.

What You Need Before Ordering Schlage SFIC Cores

IC core orders for an existing masterkey program require specific information before ordering. You need: the IC format (Schlage SFIC specifically), the keyway designation for your program, whether you need keyed-different, keyed-alike, or master-keyed cores, and the cut specification or your masterkey system administrator's contact information. Call 877-471-4870 before placing large Schlage SFIC core orders ordering without these details results in cores that don't operate in your existing housings.

Schlage SFIC on New Construction Projects

For new construction projects specifying Schlage SFIC throughout, order Schlage ND Series lever locks and Schlage L Series mortise locks with Schlage SFIC prep. The SFIC prep allows the facility to start with conventional cylinders during construction and convert to the masterkey program when the building opens — the cylinder swap takes seconds per door without removing the lock from the door.
