Deadbolt lock....Yes

Cylinder lock (knob or lever)...Yes

Mortise lock........Yes

Rim mount panic bars......Yes

You can even put Best in file cabinet, show case, drawer locks, and pad locks.......although I've never seen one on a chastity belt.......

Lets see-
If you are cutting keys like this by hand, your best bet is a set of space and depth keys, where each key in the set is cut to all ones, all twos, all threes, etc. you can then decode your key, and use the depth keys to cut a new key by hand.

Stray: plenty of people have Best locks installed in apartments and residence halls, and the building manager/super was the initial intended market for BEST. It was a way to change the locks without using a locksmith.

WOT: Unless you have a pre-existing account with a locksmith, most locksmiths will not cut a key by code for you over the phone. However, most will freely duplicate any non patent protected keys, and not lose any sleep over it. You can stamp "Duplication Prohibited on just about any bow that is large enough, even order pre-stamped blanks. The only way to get REAL key control is to buy a patent protected system, such as Medeco, Schlage Primus, Mul-T-Lock, etc.

If you had ever even seen a chastity belt, you would know that most of them are secured with padlocks, however, I have heard of one that used an ACE tubular lock. And, yes you could put an BEST IC padlock on one
