Introduction
Peaks Preferred is t e most cost effective, application flexible, patented end-user key control system
available. Two projections near the key bow, called “peaks” are part of the utility patents safeguarding the
key blanks. The “peak” operates the patent pin stack. Since the uncut key blank itself is patented, Kaba con-
trols blank manufacture and distribution.
All Peaks key blanks are marked with a unique identification number. The Kaba key
control contract and this manual specify certain key control procedures. Breach of
contract or failure to abide by factory key records policies can result in loss of the
product line.
Contracts specify t at:
1. T e blank ID number may not be removed, stamped-over,
or altered in any way;
2. Parties under contract may not duplicate any keys bearing
a blank ID number different from t eir own;
3. Key blanks may not be sold, lent, or given away;
4. Proper key records must be kept and aut orization procedures observed.

Introduction
150 spacing is used for Peaks small format interchangeable cores only! There are no conventional cylinders
or other large format interchangeable cores in 150 spacing. 150 small format interchangeable cores cannot
be interkeyed with the 140 family.
The pin-to-pin spacing is 0.150" in original Best small format interchangeable cores. Peaks small format
interchangeable cores are available in 6-pin and 7-pin lengths, and will retrofit any Best style housing.
In 150, the first pin chamber is very close to the back. In 140,
there is a 1/16" gap between the first chamber and the back.
There are seven pin chambers in 6-pin Peaks small format
interchangeable cores: six operating pins plus the patent pin,
a constant in all cylinders. There are eight pin chambers in
7-pin small format interchangeable cores.

140 and 150 are the actual pin-to-pin spacings in thousandths of an inch. 140 spacing is used in the
interkeyable family of conventional cylinders, interchangeable cores and removable cores. All 140 products
are 6-pin. There are actually seven pin stacks in a Peaks 140 core or cylinder. One pin chamber is used for
the patent pin stack and is constant in all Peaks products. The remaining six chambers are used
for combinating.

Introduction
Increment systems
A2 system: ten depths, numbered 0 to 9, shallow to deep, respectively. The increment of .0125" requires two
step progression. Choose a specific parity pattern by using either the odd or even bittings in any given posi-
tion. The preferred factory standard is A2 system.
A4 system: six depths, numbered 0 to 5, shallow to deep, respectively. The increment of .021" allows for one
step progression. Since there is no parity in A4, all key systems in any keyway are the same. Kaba strongly
suggests the use of A2 system whenever possible.
MACS : use 90 degree cutter
A2 System A4 System
140 MACS is 8–09, 90 are forbidden 140 MACS is 4–05, 50 are forbidden
150 MACS is 9–no forbidden combinations 150 MACS is 5–no forbidden combinations
Cut next to "peak"
A2 system: #7, 8 or 9 cuts next to the “peak”
require #1011 or equivalent cutter.
When master keying, progress this position last.
A4 system: #4 or 5 cuts next to the “peak”
require #1011 or equivalent cutter.
When master keying, progress this position last.

Pinning
The same pins are used for all cylinders and cores, except Corbin Russwin and Sargent large format inter-
changeable cores and the Universal 8400-xx-1095/1099 and 3400-xx-1095/1099 key-in-knobs, which require
the or K series bottom pins. Non-original pins will not work properly in Kaba products and their use
voids product warranty.
All products are top loaded. Capped small format interchangeable cores require the correct capping block
(140 or 150). Spring covers are installed with a staking tool and fixture. Combinated conventional cylinders
may be rekeyed by removing the spring cover or by using a Peaks follower tool and setup key.
Lubrication
Poxylube, a dry spray, is the factory recommended lubricant.
Key Blanks
1. Only keys bearing your unique, factory stamped, Key Blank ID number may be duplicated.
2. Key blanks may not be sold, lent, or given away.
3. Return of key blanks, for any reason, must be made directly to Kaba or to any of the parties as outlined in
your contract.
Core marking
Do not stamp the face of the core as the patent pin chamber may collapse. Kaba strongly discourages Visual
Key Control (VKC) for security reasons. Concealed Key Control (CKC), such as marking the side of the core
with a fine point magic marker, is recommended, and is the factory standard. See section 3–1 for complete
marking instructions.

Commonly called “restricted” keyways none not patented
The primary purpose of patented high security locks is the prevention of unauthorized key duplication.
Contracts, factory marked blanks, limited distribution, key records controls, and strong utility patents are
essential to state-of-the-art key control.
Fabrication of Peaks Preferred key blanks by anyone other than Kaba is an infringement of utility patent
7.18.1941.
Patent Criteria: A novel mechanical feature on the uncut blank, without which the lock will not operate, is the
critical mechanical requirement for a utility patent to protect against unauthorized key duplication.
Kaba Access Control and Kaba Holding AG will bring legal action against any person or persons producing
or contributing to the production of unauthorized Peaks keys or key blanks.

All Peaks key blanks are marked with a unique identification number. The Kaba key control contract and this
manual specify certain key control procedures. Breach of contract or failure to abide by factory key records
policies can result in loss of the product line.
Contracts specify that:
1. The blank ID number may not be removed, stamped-over, or altered in any way;
2. Parties under contract may not duplicate any keys without following proper key records
authorization procedures;
3. Key blanks may not be sold, lent, or given away;
4. Proper key records must be kept and authorization forms maintained.
Key Bl nk Identific tion Number nd Pe ks Contr cts
Kaba Access Control employs the latest machining techniques to ensure smooth reliable operation through-
out a wide variety of cylinders to provide hardware to fit the full spectrum of security needs. Kaba uses high
quality brass to manufacture the plug and shell of each cylinder. All Kaba Peaks keys are made of nickel
silver which incorporates a large bow capable of receiving stampings and use by physically impaired people.
All Kaba Peaks family of reliable cylinders are designed and manufactured to stand up to the heaviest of
use over an extended life of many years.
The patented security features of Kaba’s Peaks Security Cylinders provide new capabilities to the standard
pin tumbler lock design without complicating the procedures involved in servicing the cylinder. Patent
protected Kaba Peaks keys use standard pin tumbler combination bittings, so standard code and duplicating
key machines can cut Peaks keys from key blanks that are produced by the factory.
