AL– Besides complying with a wide variety of accessibility codes and ordinances, Best Access Systems lever handles are
available with a special abrasive feature. Abrasive strip on the lever immediately identifies warnings on doors to hazardous
areas for the blind.
FM– Free Motion allows the lever handle to move 45 degrees from parallel to the horizontal plane without engaging the latchbolt
assembly. When the lockset is in the locked mode, this feature makes over-torque or over-leverage abuse more difficult to
achieve.
IDH– The integrated Door Hardware groups three components into one hardware package. 1. Door monitoring switch (normally
closed) 2. Request-to-Exit switch (normally open or normally closed) 3. Electrically controlled locking mechanism.
KNL– Knurl feature is available only on #6 knobs. The knurling is machined into the outer edge of the knob. The knurled feature
can be used for blind, safety, or accessibility applications.
LL– Lead lined feature can be used to protect against X-rays. Since the majority of lead lined doors contain the lead in the
surface of the door, the knob lockset provide lead lining for the holes cut in the door when preparing the door for the trim.
SH– Security head provided for all exposed screws.
RQE– Cylindrical or Mortise locksets can be supplied with a request-to-exit switch. A normally open switch provides momentary
switch closure when the inside lever/knob is rotated.
TAC– Grooves are machined into knobs to improve grip or to be used as a warning in hazardous areas. This option can be used
for blind, safety or accessibility applications.
Thick door– Specify thickness if other than 1

" .
TL– Tactile levers may be used in areas where improved grip is required or as a warning in hazardous or Safety First areas.
Grooves are machined into the back of the hand grasp portion of the lever to improve grip and/or provide a sensory
warning. This option can be used for blind, safety, or accessibility applications.
1300– Integrated BAS1300/LNL1300 reder electronics board or (ISC) Intelligent System Controller is embedded behind the
escutcheon ecured and out of site. Functions with B.A.S.I.S./Mercury on-line equipment only.

Best Access Systems offers a line of electric switch locks available in various “on-off” and “momentary” keyed switch functions.
Circuitry variations are available in single, double and triple pole with varied voltage and amperage ratings. Units may be keyed
into any Best system. The Best interchangeable core offers versatility and adaptability for new and existing electrical controls,
panels, machines, etc.
Features
• Double D lock cylinder prevents slipping and turning
• Screw terminals on all switch locks (except the 1W7A1) provides ease of installation
• All switches are UL recognized or listed
Note on functionality: Switch lock keys can only be removed in the 12 o’clock position.
How to select a switch lock
1. Determine the electrical requirements for the device being controlled:
A. Voltage (for example: 115 VAC or 24 VDC)
B. Current or horsepower (for example: 6 amps or
1
/
2
horsepower)
C. Type of load
• Resistive (for example, heater elements)
• Inductive (for example, motors, large transformers)
• Lamp (for example, incandescent lights)
2. Determine the switch configuration (poles and throws) and key removal condition:
A. Poles To determine the number of poles, find how many wires from the power source need to be switched on and off by
the switch lock.
B. Throws To determine the number of throws, find how many wires to the device the switch needs to control. For example,
if a switch needs two different “on” conditions (low and high speed), two throws are needed. Or if the device is simply an
“on-off” type (only one wire), you need one throw.
N
ote
:
A switch throw may be left unwired and used as an “off” condition.
C. Key removal To determine the key removal condition, ask the question, “When the key is removed, should the switch be
“off”, or could the switch be either “on” or “off” ?” Although the key can only be removed in the 12 o’clock position, the
switch itself may be left in two or three positions. Check each switch lock for key removal switch positions.
3.
Use the information collected and find the switch lock that best meets the requirements.
Refer to the following
catalog pages for a description of each switch lock. If environmental conditions make it necessary that the switch lock be
housed in an electrical box, see the Optional boxes (above) for the box that best suits the switch lock and your application.
