What is the difference between a Peaks core, and a Best Peaks core.

I just did 45 Peaks Preferred cores today, and someone asked me if they were Best Peaks because I was using Best size pins

there must be a differance

I think it is just branding. Some say Peaks and some say Best.

A pro lockie who works with them may correct me, but pretty sure they are the same thing.

Yes, they are the same. Kaba came up with the Peaks technology and licensed it to Best.

Peaks Preferred is the newly patented key system that they have. It differs from the regular peaks system in that there is a 'peak' on both the bottom and top of the key.
