Becoming a level 8 dealer
To become a Level 8 dealer, sign the appropriate contract
with Schlage 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 8 dealer:
• to safeguard Everest Primus and Everest Primus XP Level 8
key blanks and ID cards
• not to give, sell or lend key blanks to anyone under any
circumstances
• to sell directly to end users only
• to require and validate a signature before duplicating any
Level 8 keys
• to maintain accurate records of all keys cut
• to not make any Level 8 keys for systems generated by
dealers in other time zones who may have the same side
bitting.
Keyways and keying options
The geographical exclusivity of Level 8 makes it impractical
to illustrate or list all the side bittings. New ones are issued
every day around the country.
• The last cut of side bittings at Level 8 is always
shallow (1, 3 or 5) to raise the check pin of conventional
Everest cylinders.
• With the ten Everest C family keyways available, large key
systems are possible.
• Unlike Level 2, each Level 8 dealer is assigned one side
bitting and the corresponding sequence numbers.
There is no differentiation between factory and field-
originated systems.
