Accentra 2196-1-1/2-GA-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Accentra 2196 mortise cylinder come with keys, or do I have to cut them?
It ships 0 bitted, meaning no cuts and no keys. A locksmith pins and cuts it to your existing system or a new keying schedule. That's the point of ordering it this way on a commercial job: you match the building's masterkey schedule instead of adding another orphan key. If you need a cylinder that arrives keyed and ready with cut keys, look at a factory keyed rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-021, which is supplied with 2 keys.
2) What keyways can I get the Accentra 2196 LFIC mortise cylinder in?
Six keyway choices: GA, GB, GC, GD, GE and PARA. All six are offered in 626 satin chrome. Pick the keyway that matches the rest of the building's key system, because an LFIC core will only accept keys cut on its own keyway family. The PARA option is the one to specify if you are running a patented/restricted Accentra key system rather than a conventional G-family keyway.
3) What is the difference between a large format interchangeable core cylinder and a standard mortise cylinder?
An LFIC cylinder like the Accentra 2196 has a removable core: a control key pulls the core out in seconds so you can rekey a door without pulling the lock apart or taking the door out of service. A conventional mortise cylinder has to be removed from the lock body and re-pinned on the bench. If you manage a lot of doors and turn over tenants or staff, LFIC pays for itself in labor. If it's one or two doors that rarely change, a fixed cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder does the same job with fewer moving parts.
4) Will a 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder fit my mortise lock, or do I need a shorter one?
The 2196 is a 1-1/2 inch cylinder, which is the length that suits a standard commercial mortise lock in a 1-3/4 inch door with typical trim. Measure from the face of the trim to the cylinder collar before you order: if the cylinder stands proud or bottoms out against the lock case, you need a different length. Shorter housings exist, for example the Corbin Russwin 1070 at 1-1/4 inch and the Detex MC65 at 1-1/8 inch, and those are what you use behind thin escutcheons or on thinner doors.
5) Do I need to order a cam separately with the Accentra 2196?
No. The 2196 ships with the 2160 cam, so it goes straight into a compatible mortise lock with no extra parts. Cam style is what makes a mortise cylinder drive one lock body and not another, so confirm your lock takes the 2160 cam. If your lock calls for a different cam, for instance a Schlage L9000 mortise lock that wants an A01 cam, the Corbin Russwin 1080 LFIC mortise cylinder is built for that prep.
6) Can I use a rim cylinder in place of the Accentra 2196?
No. The 2196 is a mortise cylinder that threads into a mortise lock body and drives it through the 2160 cam. Rim cylinders such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam, the Schlage 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam, and the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece mount through the door and drive a surface rim device with a tailpiece instead. The two are not interchangeable in the same prep.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 2196 LFIC mortise cylinder from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin 1080 is the nearest match. It is a 1-1/2 inch large format interchangeable core mortise cylinder with a 6-pin configuration, the same core format, length and pin count as the Accentra 2196, and it ships with an A01 cloverleaf cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. The 2196 comes with the 2160 cam instead, so confirm which cam your mortise lock body takes before swapping between the two.
8) If I do not need interchangeable core, what mortise cylinder should I use instead of the Accentra 2196?
A fixed-core mortise cylinder is the simpler route. The Corbin Russwin 1000 is a Grade 1 series mortise cylinder in the same 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder. Neither allows the keyed plug to be pulled and replaced with a key the way the 2196 large format interchangeable core does, so pick a fixed cylinder only where you are not running a rekeyable core program.
9) The Accentra 2196 is too long for my mortise prep. What is a shorter mortise cylinder?
The Accentra 2196 is a 1-1/2 inch cylinder. For a shallower prep, the Corbin Russwin 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Measure from the cylinder face to the back of the plug before ordering, since cam reach changes with length.
10) Is a 6-pin cylinder worth it over a 5-pin for a commercial building?
Six pins give you more usable key combinations and more resistance to picking than a five pin, which matters when you are building a master key schedule across a large facility and need enough differs to avoid cross-keying. The Accentra 2196 is 6-pin. Five pin cores such as the BEST 1C Series standard core are still common on lighter systems, and BEST also offers a 7-pin drill resistant core in the 1CDF if the opening needs more than this.
11) Is the Accentra 2196 the same as a full size interchangeable core, or are LFIC and FSIC different things?
Large format interchangeable core and full size interchangeable core describe the same physical core size, so the terms get used interchangeably in the field. What actually decides fit is the keyway and the control key. An Accentra 2196 in a GA keyway will not accept a core cut on a Schlage C keyway, and a Schlage FSIC product such as the 20-057-C core is a separate key system. Standardize the whole building on one keyway family or the interchangeability advantage disappears.
12) Can a property manager install this cylinder, or does it need a locksmith?
Swapping the cylinder into the mortise case is straightforward hardware work, but the 2196 arrives with no cuts, so it is useless until somebody pins and cuts it. That part needs a locksmith with your key system records and the right pinning kit for the keyway you ordered. Plan on ordering the cylinder and booking the locksmith together rather than expecting to hang it the same afternoon.
13) My facility is on a BEST interchangeable core system. Does the Accentra 2196 work with it?
The Accentra 2196 is a large format interchangeable core mortise cylinder supplied factory 0 bitted, offered in GA, GB, GC, GD, GE and PARA keyways. If your site standard is a BEST core program, the cores themselves come from that family, such as the BEST 1C 5-pin standard core, the 1CB 150 series interchangeable core, or the drill resistant 1CDF 7-pin 150 series core. Match the core family and keyway to your existing system before you commit a housing.
14) What is the difference between the Accentra 2196 and a full size interchangeable core rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-057?
Both accept a removable core, but they mount differently. The Accentra 2196 is a threaded mortise cylinder for a mortise lock body and includes the 2160 cam. The Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and the 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway in 643E aged bronze. Use the rim cylinders behind a rim exit device, and the 2196 where the door carries a mortise lock.
15) Will the Accentra 2196 work on an Adams Rite narrow stile aluminum door deadlock?
Adams Rite narrow stile deadlocks are normally driven by their own cylinder pulls or mortise cylinders. The 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both built for the MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock. Specify one of those for a narrow stile opening and reserve the Accentra 2196 for a standard mortise lock body.
16) I need a cylinder for a residential deadbolt or handleset, not a commercial mortise lock. Is the Accentra 2196 right?
No. The Accentra 2196 is designated for commercial use in mortise lock bodies. For deadbolts and handlesets, look at the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handlesets and deadbolts, the 1065244 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with Emtek tailpiece, or the 1075127 5-pin rim lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Emtek handlesets also take the Emtek CY4 cylinder.
17) Will the satin chrome finish on the Accentra 2196 match the rest of my door hardware?
626 satin chrome is the standard commercial finish and it is what most Grade 1 levers, exit devices and mortise trim ship in, so it blends on a typical office, school or hospital opening. It is the only finish this cylinder is offered in, across all six keyways. If your building is on an aged bronze or brass program, the cylinder collar will read as a different color at the face of the trim.
18) I only need to fill a cylinder hole with no key function. Is there an alternative to the Accentra 2196?
For a non-keyed opening, a dummy cylinder is the right part. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and provides the appearance of a cylinder without operating anything. The Accentra 2196 is a working 6-pin large format interchangeable core cylinder shipped 0 bitted for keying, so use it only where the opening is actually keyed.
19) What is the difference between the Accentra 2196 and the Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder?
They serve different lock types. The Accentra 2196 is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin large format interchangeable core mortise cylinder that installs into a mortise lock body with the 2160 cam. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder built for deadbolt function. Choose by what is already prepped in the door rather than by pin count.
