I Core Pick

I am looking for I Core Pick. I've seen them on web site, but I don't know where. Anyone know where they are available? Any one know if they work? William

They do work but you have to be a skilled lock picker to pick something like a Best IC.

Funny that this came up recently. I had to pick a Schlage 6 pin small format IC. It was to a store-room that wasn't in the internal MK system, and nobody had a key. I am certainly not a very talented lock picker, but will put some time into it before just drilling, (generating a Purchase order costs the site more than the parts, unless I am destroying a number of locks).

I used a common hook lifter and thought I only hooked six pins, (that's how untalented I am). The cylinder turned about 10 degrees with a lot of pressure on the lever, it dawned on me that I must have caught the release pin. I then used the hook and the core came right out.

Now on the Best IC system, I don't know of any way to pick out the core, without first generating a turning combination. They're hard enough, (time consuming), to pick for that even without spooled drivers.

Not all that lucky. The Schlage small format IC uses only a 7th pin to remove the core. Now, If I ever get a Best IC out that way,...

Oh, then we are talking about different things. Schlage invented the term SFIC as a generic name for any core that is a direct replacement for Best when they started offering one. By using that term we no longer have to say Best/Falcon/Arrow/KSP etc.
