Resolution
Schlage no longer furnishes “balance of keys as blanks.” Instead, master keyed cylinders receive a price deduct if the total quantity of keys is less than the normal 2 keys per cylinder. See the example below for a more detailed explanation.
- 50 cylinders on an order are keyed to AA1. Since Schlage normally supplies 2 keys per cylinder, there would typically be 100 keys included with these cylinders.
- Supposing the customer only wants 20 AA1 keys, then there is a discrepancy of 80 keys.
- Under the old "balance as blanks" system, 80 key blanks would've been added to the order.
- Under the current system, the cost of a 80 extra cut keys (see notes below for pricing) is deducted from the cylinder price.
Notes
This pricing deduct is available for master keyed cylinders only.
The pricing deduct is calculated based on the extra cut key charges. Whichever charge matches the keyway family for the cylinder, that is the charge that is used to calculate the key pricing deduct. Here are the charge part numbers:
- 50-215 - Extra cut key charge for Classic Obverse, Everest C, or Everest 29 S keys
- 50-232 - Extra cut key charge for Classic Restricted, Everest B, Everest D, Everest 29 R, or Everest 29 T keys
- 50-214 - Extra cut key charge for Primus keys (any keyway family)
