Level One
One standard side bitting is allocated for Level One systems.  Level
One locksmiths are permitted to stock Level One Primus cylinders 
and keys on a local basis. The end user is assigned an I.D. card 
by the locksmith which must be presented to obtain additional keys.  
Level One Plus
Primus Level One Plus combines the convenience of locally stocked
keys and cylinders with the security of multiple side bittings 
distributed on a limited basis. Level One Plus key blanks are sold 
to a wholesaler on a nationwide exclusive basis. These blanks are 
distributed through select locksmiths who are assigned unique 
ID numbers. Level One Plus locksmiths are only able to stock and
duplicate keys with their own I.D. number on them. End users 
are issued an I.D. card which must be presented to the originating
locksmith to obtain additional keys.
Level Two
Level Two systems provide local service and inventory of Primus
products, but on a more restricted basis. Level Two offers the end 
user a special side bitting which is exclusive to a contract hardware
dealer within his time zone. The Primus Level Two dealer cuts all 
keys and performs all keying services after validating the Primus 
I.D. card and verifying the customer signature.
Level Three
At Level Three the Schlage factory maintains control of the 
Primus key system. For systems with fewer than 60 cylinders, 
Schlage assigns the side bitting from a small pool of combinations 
that may be repeated locally. For systems over 60 cylinders, 
the side bitting is assigned to each installation based on the first 
two digits of the zip code. Authorized signatures are verified by 
the Schlage factory with each order for key blanks, duplicate keys 
or additions to a factory master keyed system.
Level Four
As with Level Three, the factory maintains control of Primus 
Level Four systems. Side bittings are assigned on either a time 
zone or nationwide basis, depending on the end userÕs purchase 
commitment. Authorized signatures are verified by the Schlage 
factory with each order for key blanks, duplicate keys or additions 
to a factory master keyed system.  
Security Levels
The Primus system features multiple levels of security. Primus systems with Classic keyways (Levels 1 through 4) are ideal for upgrading 
older key systems. All new systems should be specified with Everest keyways (Levels 7 - 9) for maximum patent life, durability, and master 
keying capacity. Each level requires an appropriate I.D card and/or signature verification for key duplication. All levels utilize patent 
protected Primus cylinders and keys to protect against unauthorized duplication. To select the proper level of security, consideration should 
be given to the overall key control, convenience and service required for the installation.
Everest Primus does not have an equivalent level to the Classic 
Level One. Users seeking restricted key systems should consider 
an Everest Restricted key system. Everest Restricted key systems 
provide key control via a factory verified letter of authorization 
containing a shipping address for all keys and key blanks.
Level Seven - Wholesaler/Locksmith
Similar to Level One Plus, Level Seven offers key blanks with 
side bittings that are distributed on a limited basis. Level Seven 
key blanks are sold to a wholesaler on a nationwide exclusive 
basis. These blanks are distributed through select locksmiths who 
are assigned unique ID numbers. Level One Plus locksmiths are 
only able to stock and duplicate keys with their own I.D. number 
on them. End users are issued an I.D. card which must be 
presented to the originating locksmith to obtain additional keys.
Level Eight - Servicing Dealer
Level Eight systems combine the durability and long patent life 
of Everest C Family keyways with the security controls of 
Classic Primus Level Two. Level Eight offers any servicing 
dealer approved by Schlage a time zone exclusive side bitting. 
The dealer cuts all keys and performs all keying services after 
validating the customer signature on the I.D. card.
Level Nine - End User
Level Nine combines the end user features of Classic Primus 
Level Three and Level Four. For Level Nine systems with fewer 
than 60 cylinders, Schlage assigns the side bittings randomly 
from a small pool of factory controlled combinations. Systems 
over 60 cylinders are assigned exclusive side bittings based on 
the first two digits of the zip code. For very large systems, time 
zone or nationwide exclusive side bitting exclusivity is also 
available based on the end userÕs purchase commitment. Authorized
signatures are verified by the Schlage factory with each order 
for key blanks, duplicate keys or additions to a factory master 
keyed system.
