Accentra 2153-1-1/8-PARA-626-KR-1161E – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra 2153 mortise cylinder work in my lock if it takes a different keyway?
No. The 2153 is cut for the PARA-E1R keyway, so it only accepts keys from a PARA-E1R keying system. If your building is keyed on Schlage C, for example, the key won't enter this plug and you'd want a Schlage C cylinder instead, such as the Detex MC65, which is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway. Match the keyway to the keys already in your tenants' hands before anything else.
2) Is a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder the right length for my door?
Cylinder length is set by door and trim thickness, not by the lock body. The Accentra 2153 is a 1-1/8 inch cylinder, which is the shortest standard mortise length and suits a lock where the cylinder sits close to flush behind the trim. If your existing cylinder projects further, or you have thick escutcheon trim or an unusually thick door, you need a longer one: the Corbin Russwin 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing and the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series comes in 1-1/2 inch. Pull the old cylinder and measure it from the face of the housing to the back of the threads before you order.
3) Can I get several Accentra 2153 cylinders keyed alike for one building?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the 2153, and the two choices are No Special Keying or Key Locks Alike (Commercial-Per Cylinder). Pick Key Locks Alike on every cylinder in the same order and they'll all operate on one key, which is what you want for a landlord key across a set of unit doors or a common entry. Choosing No Special Keying gets you a standard keyed-different cylinder with its own key.
4) Can I put an Accentra 2153 cylinder into a lock that uses an interchangeable core?
No. The 2153 is a standard mortise cylinder, one solid threaded housing that you screw into the lock case. An IC lock has a figure-eight or removable-core opening and needs a core, not a full cylinder. If the housing in your door takes a core you can pull with a control key, look at an interchangeable core product instead, such as the BEST 1C Series standard cylinder core or the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, or a full-size IC option like the Schlage 20-057 FSIC.
5) I'm replacing a worn cylinder on an apartment entry door. Is this the part I need?
For a mortise lock on a unit entry, yes, provided two things line up: the door is on a PARA-E1R keying system and the cylinder you pulled measures 1-1/8 inches. The 2153 is built as a straight replacement for exactly that job, and it's a common one on multi-unit residential and small office doors. If the building is on another keyway, the cylinder physically threads in but no existing key will turn it.
6) Will a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder work in place of an Accentra 2153?
No - those are two different cylinder formats. The Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, and its companion 20-022 is the same cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. A rim cylinder mounts through the door from the inside and drives an exit device or rim lock with a flat tailpiece. The Accentra 2153 is a mortise cylinder that threads into a mortise lock case and turns a cam. The pin count matching at 6 pins is what makes these look interchangeable in a parts list; the mounting is not interchangeable at all. If the device on the door is a rim exit device, the 20-021 or 20-022 is the part. If it is a mortise lock body, the 2153 format is what fits.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 2153 mortise cylinder if the opening uses a Schlage C keyway instead of PARA-E1R?
The Detex MC65 mortise cylinder is the match on form: it is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder built around the Schlage C keyway. The Accentra 2153 is also a 6-pin mortise cylinder at 1-1/8 inch length, but it is cut to the PARA-E1R keyway, so its keys will not operate a Schlage C system. Pick by keyway first - a cylinder that is dimensionally identical is still the wrong part if the building's key does not enter it. Both share the same threaded mortise body and length, so the lock case prep does not change either way.
8) I need a mortise cylinder longer than 1-1/8 inch for a thicker door. What are the options?
Two Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders cover the longer lengths. The 1000 Series comes in a 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, and the 1070 Series comes in a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. The Accentra 2153 is fixed at 1-1/8 inch, which suits standard mortise lock prep. Cylinder length is set by how far the cylinder must reach through the door face and trim to engage the lock case cam - measure from the outside face of the trim to the cam pocket, then order the length that puts the cam flush. Note that the cam style differs between the Corbin Russwin options, and the cam has to match what your lock case accepts.
9) We want to key a facility so maintenance can swap cores without a locksmith. Is the Accentra 2153 the right choice?
For core-swap key control, an interchangeable core cylinder is the format that does that, and the 2153 is not one - it is a standard mortise cylinder, keyed as a unit. The BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, also 150 Series. On the mortise side specifically, the Corbin Russwin 1080 Series is a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder in 6-pin. Schlage's 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, with the 20-057-C offered as a C keyway full size interchangeable core in 643E aged bronze. Where a standard cylinder like the 2153 fits is a building keyed once and serviced by a locksmith - it takes 6-pin keying and can be supplied keyed alike per cylinder.
10) The spec calls for a Grade 1 mortise cylinder. What should I use instead of the Accentra 2153?
The Adams Rite 4036 is a mortise cylinder with five-pin security carrying a Grade 1 rating, with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Corbin Russwin's mortise cylinders are also Grade 1 Series parts - the 1000 Series at 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam and the 1070 Series at 1-1/4 inch 6-pin with an A01 cloverleaf cam. The Accentra 2153 is built for residential applications. If the drawing or the facility standard names an ANSI grade, specify from the graded parts and confirm the cam matches the lock case you are feeding.
11) Is the Accentra 2153 cylinder rated for a commercial building or is it residential?
Accentra lists the 2153 as residential. That's the right call for apartment unit doors, small offices, and light retail service work. For an opening that has to hold up to heavy public traffic or meet a Grade 1 spec on a drawing, look at a cylinder carrying that grade instead, such as the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder or the Corbin Russwin 1000 and 1070 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinders.
12) Does the Accentra 2153 mortise cylinder come with a cam and a ring, or do I need to order those?
Order the trim ring and confirm the cam separately. The 2153 is sold as a replacement cylinder for an existing mortise lock, and the cam has to match the lock case it's driving, since a cam that fits one manufacturer's mortise lock will not always throw the retractor in another's. If you're replacing like for like, save the cam off the old cylinder and check it against the new one before you thread it in.
13) What do I use if the cylinder is going into a knob or lever lock rather than a mortise lock?
Key-in-knob and key-in-lever locks take a different cylinder body than a mortise lock does. Kaba Ilco covers that with the 1539 Series key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 for Sargent knob and lever locks, and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Falcon's A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T Series with a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. The Accentra 2153 is a mortise cylinder and threads into a mortise lock case, so it will not seat in a knob or lever chassis. Identify the lock body first: a rectangular case pocketed into the door edge takes the mortise cylinder, a cylindrical chassis through a bored hole takes the key-in-knob style.
14) Is a cylinder pull the same thing as a mortise cylinder?
No. A cylinder pull is a pull handle with a cylinder built into it, used on narrow stile doors where the deadlock has no separate trim. Adams Rite offers three: the 4024 with a trim plate mounting and the 4025 with through-screws in a five pin tumbler, both for the MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. The Accentra 2153 is the cylinder alone - it threads into an existing mortise lock case and supplies no pull, plate, or trim. Glass front and aluminum storefront work is where the pull versions belong; a prepped mortise lock in a wood or hollow metal door takes the bare cylinder.
15) What is the difference between the Accentra 2153 and a dummy cylinder like the BEST 12E?
The BEST 12E Series is a dummy rim cylinder at 1-5/32 inch diameter - it fills the hole and matches the look of a keyed cylinder without operating anything. The Accentra 2153 is a working 6-pin mortise cylinder that takes a key and turns the lock case cam. Dummy cylinders go on the inactive leaf of a pair or where trim symmetry is wanted but no locking is; a 2153 goes where the door actually needs to be keyed. The 12E is also a rim format, so it is not a fill-in for a mortise prep.
16) Which cylinder retrofits an Emtek handleset or deadbolt rather than a mortise lock?
Medeco makes several retrofit cylinders for that side of the market. The 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts generally, and the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Emtek also lists its own CY4 cylinder. The Accentra 2153 is a mortise cylinder for mortise lock cases, so it is not the part for a residential handleset - match the retrofit cylinder to the lock brand and tailpiece it was built for.
17) Does a 5-pin cylinder substitute for the 6-pin Accentra 2153?
Pin count is part of the keying system, not just a spec line. The Accentra 2153 runs 6 pins on the PARA-E1R keyway. Several comparable cylinders are 5-pin - the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder and the BEST 1C Series standard cylinder core are both 5-pin. A 5-pin cylinder cannot be keyed into a 6-pin master key system, so on a building already running 6-pin keying, dropping in a 5-pin cylinder means that door falls outside the system and needs its own key. Where a facility is standardizing from scratch, either depth is workable, but pick one and hold to it across the openings.
18) I need a 6-pin rim cylinder housing for an exit device, not a mortise cylinder. What is comparable?
The Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, from the 3000 Series. Rim cylinder housings mount through the door and drive the device with a tailpiece cut to length; the tailpiece dimension is what has to match the door thickness and device. The Accentra 2153 shares the 6-pin count but is a mortise cylinder with a threaded body and a cam, which is the wrong interface for a rim exit device. Order by the mounting format the device requires, then match the keyway to the building.
19) What cylinder goes in a deadbolt if the Accentra 2153 is for the mortise lock?
Kaba Ilco's 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, and the 1539, 1579, and 1599 Series are all listed for deadbolt function as well across knob, lever, and Sargent applications. The Accentra 2153 is a mortise cylinder for mortise lock cases. On an entry that carries both a mortise lock and a separate deadbolt, those are two different cylinders and both need to be keyed to the same system if the tenant is to carry one key.
20) How do I match finish when replacing cylinders across a set of doors?
The Accentra 2153 comes in 626 satin chrome and in a 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent. Comparable cylinders publish their own finish codes - the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core, for instance, is a 643E aged bronze. Finish codes are standardized numbers, so 626 on one brand's cylinder reads as the same satin chrome family as 626 on another, but bronze finishes in particular vary in tone between manufacturers and between production runs. When a building already has bronze cylinders in place, matching within one brand and one finish code gives the closer visual result than crossing brands on a bronze number.
