Stepping Up To The King Cobra

Schlage restricts the distribution of Everest keys to commercial locksmiths, which means that key holders cannot easily get their keys duplicated at a home centers or hardware stores. By limiting the available points of sale for key blanks, Everest limits the unauthorized duplication of keys. And, with the availability of Schlage's Everest Primus, you can upgrade sensitive areas of your Everest key system to a high-security Primus® key control system without completely rekeying an entire facility. King Cobra can also accommodate Schlage IC cores.

For many King Cobra applications, keys are issued only on a limited basis to management and maintenance personnel for use as emergency overrides.

Our case history installation was performed at a local Rescue Squad on their administration office. Office equipment, supplies and documents are kept in this office. Additionally, squad members pass through this area to access other areas of the building.

The door was previously equipped with a storeroom function lock fitted with a high security cylinder. The Squad wanted a solution that would make it more convenient for the team to get through the door and less expensive for the squad to rekey or obtain additional keys.

The installation went smoothly. It was necessary for us to replace the faulty door closer on the subject door to ensure the security of the door was maintained.

We've had no call backs on this installation, and based on the positive feedback we've received from the client, we anticipate we'll be asked to provide a Narrow Stile King Cobra for the front door in the near future.
