their side combination. Primus XP Level 1+ wholesalers can
stock subassembled bulk, KA, KD.

Becoming a level 1+ dealer
To become a Level 1+ dealer, sign the appropriate contract
with your wholesaler and purchase the prevailing minimum
dollar amount of inventory. Dealer’s ability to sell high
security products and provide end user service must be
reviewed and approved by a Schlage SSC sales manager.
As covered in the contract, it is important for a Level 1+
dealer:
• not to cut keys for any other Primus and Primus XP Level 1+
systems as identified by the ID number on each key
• to safeguard Primus and Primus XP Level 1+ key blanks and
ID cards
• not to give, sell or lend key blanks to anyone under any
circumstances
• to require and validate a signature before duplicating any
Level 1+ keys
• to maintain accurate records of all keys cut.
Keyways and keying options
• Level 1+ is not appropriate for large key systems.
• Key blanks are not available to institutional locksmiths.
• Side bittings for Level 1+ limit systems to one keyway.
• Multi-section key blanks cannot be made because of the
incompatible side bittings of the lower level keys.
• Primus Level 1+ cylinders are shipped 0-bitted. Primus XP
Level 1+ can be shipped 0-bitted, KA, KD, MK and bulk
packed.
Sequence numbers
The sequence number is a 4-digit code which identifies the
combination of side b keyway. Since virtually every
Schlage wholesaler and Locksmith carrying Primus XP Level
1+ product has a different side bitting and some carry more
than one, the sequence number can be useful to separate
inventory having the same keyway but different side bittings.
At Level 1+, each sequence number is assigned to one specific
wholesaler. With Primus XP, the use of sequence numbers
was discontinued.
