Section 2 - 26Product InformationFor specification purposes, 6-pin Peaks Global products have seven active pin stacks. Texts of product spec-ifications are available upon request.Mechanical TestingTesting of 5900 series cores has proven them to be superior to the 5800 series cores. The modern alloysused in the shells and sleeves of the 5900 series have remarkable bearing properties. In addition, Kabaemploys a patented two step process of plating and cladding on all 5900 and 5800 sleeves and shells thatmakes the surfaces of these components harder than conventional brass surfaces. Plugs for both 5900 and5800 series are made of brass because of its machinability.Peaks cores and cylinders exceed 500,000 cycles with no measurable wear on shells and sleeves. Keys,keyways and bottom pins show normal wear. When 5900 series cores are cut open, tool marks remain visi-ble in the pin chambers.Pull tests have been successfully completed on Peaks cores in Arrow, Best, KSP, Corbin Russwin, Medecoand Yale housings. The 5900 cores actually require more force than 5800 series cores. This is due to thebehavioral characteristics of the metals. All brass tends to shear, while the alloys employed in the 5900 tendto distend but hold.Environmental testingThe standard ASTM B117 salt spray (corrosion) test for trim is 200 hours. After over 300 hours, both controland operating keys work in Peaks cores, even before lubrication. After lubrication, the cores feel like new.Chrome finish cores do not discolor. Brass finish cores turn dark with exposure to the elements.Product in development, warranty and updatesThe catalog indicates current product availability. Product is always under development.
