You are correct about the ASSA Maximum+ being shoulder stopped. I should have said that the Everest was tip stopped, like MOST SFIC cores.  Gordon

Cool! I am guessing that you would need to use the same special key punch or the shoulder stopped card for a blitz.

I'd be willing to purchase one or two for the collection and to play around with cutting keys and pinning them just for personal humor. But 100? Nah. Can you imagine trying to explain to a customer that while, yes, you can now get SFIC in SC1, no, it will not be keyable to the rest of your SC1 locks. Nor could the other SC1 locks be keyed to match the SFIC. Seen enough of that hassle from .140 and .150 Kaba Peaks. Gordon

Is it SC1 or SC4 ? The keys on their website look like they have 6 cuts. I like that split lug option, would like to learn more about it. Thanks, Squelchtone

When my client has sfic, I usually just replace them with a schlage keyway lock anyhow--nobody ever has the core key anyway, plus it's usually cheaper especially if I'm just screwing in a couple of new mortice cylinders

I’d say SC1. The key blade looks short. Perhaps SC4 is used on their seven pin core. Remember that the spacing is different between a normal SC1 and SFIC. I am wondering about their split core version. It looks like the control lug has the last pin segment split. Any ideas what that is about? Gordon

I'm kind of curious as well. Off the top of my head, the best I've been able to come up with is using a 7 pin core in a housing milled for a 6 pin core, where there may happen to be some room at the back but the groove for the control lug is cut for the shorter 6 pin one. Maybe that rear section on that split pin one can somehow be left retracted while the rest of the lug is engaged. Just a thought...

If someone wanted to coordinate an order and the unit cost was reasonable, I'd take a few. Seriously. No, I'm not volunteering, at least not at this time.

+1 I'd go in if we could drum up enough interest. Gordon
