Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KABA ILCO from 3G Electric.
What is the KABA ILCO 1A1H1 key blank used for?
The KABA ILCO 1A1H1 key blank is a nickel-silver, nickel-plated key blank with an H keyway type. It is designed for duplicating keys for BEST cylindrical locks. This blank is commonly used in facility maintenance and security applications where BEST lock systems are installed. The nickel plating provides corrosion resistance and durability. When ordering, ensure the keyway type matches your existing lock cylinder to guarantee proper fit and function. 3G Electric supplies this key blank as a genuine OEM part, and it is available for global shipping.
Are KABA ILCO deadbolts for exit push bars ADA compliant?
The KABA ILCO deadbolt locks listed, such as models 185F-3NH-628/313 and HB185F-3NH-628/313, are not ADA compliant. This means they do not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessible design. These deadbolts are intended for use with exit push bars in commercial or industrial door assemblies where ADA compliance is not a requirement. If ADA compliance is necessary, alternative products should be considered. Always verify local building codes and accessibility standards before installation.
What is the difference between a KABA ILCO deadbolt and deadlatch?
KABA ILCO deadbolts and deadlatches are both used with exit push bars, but they function differently. A deadbolt extends a solid bolt into the door frame, providing secure locking. A deadlatch has a beveled latch bolt that retracts when the door closes, allowing the door to latch automatically, and includes a guard against manipulation. Deadlatches are often used on doors that require frequent opening and closing, while deadbolts provide additional security. Both types are available in aluminum construction and various handedness configurations. Selection depends on the specific door hardware and security needs.
Can KABA ILCO key cutting machines duplicate keys for high-security systems?
KABA ILCO key cutting machines are designed for duplicating a wide range of keys, including those for high-security systems, depending on the machine model and the key blanks used. Manual duplicators and automatic machines can handle various keyway types when equipped with the appropriate cutting wheels and calibrated to the key specifications. For high-security keys, it is essential to use the correct key blank and follow the manufacturer's guidelines. 3G Electric supplies KABA ILCO key cutting machines and accessories, such as cutting wheels and deburring brushes, to support key duplication tasks in locksmith shops and maintenance departments.
