Q: Rich, Working on a job that requires the Everest T Cylinder. Are you familiar with that? Need to order two pieces to get the locks prepared for it.
A: Yes I am. from the manufacturer:
Everest 29 restricted key systems are for end users only and are ideal when there is a significant need to eliminate
unauthorized duplication by lock shops, hardware and home centers. Everest 29 T keyways provide a higher level of
security, with authorization required for the order of key blanks for duplication. Cylinders with Everest 29 T family
keyways are 6-pin and cannot be interkeyed with any 5- or 7-pin products. In addition, Everest 29 T keys can be used
to open T keyways, but cannot be used to open Everest 29 Primus XP locks with a T keyway.
