Arrow 16CR-27X004 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow 16CR-27X004 mortise housing work in a Sargent mortise lock?
That's exactly what the 004 cam is for. The 16CR-27X004 is a 1-1/4 inch SFIC mortise housing supplied with the 004 Sargent cam, which drives Sargent brand mortise locksets. The cam is the piece that turns behind the core and throws the lock's actuator, so ordering the wrong cam is the usual way one of these ends up not working in the lock body. If your opening runs a different manufacturer's mortise lock, you want a housing with that maker's cam, not the 004.
2) Does the Arrow 16CR SFIC mortise housing take a 7-pin core, or only 6-pin?
Both. The 16CR housing is machined to accept 6-pin and 7-pin small format interchangeable cores, so a facility standardized on 7-pin masterkeying can use it without a separate part number. The core is not included with the housing, so specify your core, keyway, and keying separately.
3) What is an SFIC mortise housing actually for, and do I need one if I already have a core?
A small format interchangeable core is a figure-eight plug on its own; it can't mount in a mortise lock by itself. The housing is the threaded shell that screws into the lock body and holds the core, with a cam on the back that transfers the turn into the lock. So yes, if you're putting an SFIC into a Sargent mortise lockset, you need this housing plus your core. The 16CR-27X004 is also used behind exit device trim that takes a mortise cylinder.
4) Do I have to use an Arrow core in the Arrow 16CR housing?
No. The 16CR is cut for standard small format interchangeable cores, so Arrow cores and SFIC cores from other major manufacturers both seat in it. That matters if your building is already keyed on another maker's SFIC system, you keep your existing keyway and keying and just add the housing.
5) Can I use this SFIC mortise housing in a rim exit device or a cylindrical lever lock?
No. A mortise housing threads into a mortise lock body or into trim prepped for a mortise cylinder, it will not fit a rim device or a cylindrical lockset. A rim exit device takes a rim cylinder with a tailpiece, and a cylindrical lever takes a keyed lever or knob assembly. The 16CR-27X004 belongs in Sargent mortise locksets and in exit device trim that is prepped for a mortise cylinder.
6) Can I rekey a Sargent mortise lock without taking the lock apart?
With an SFIC housing in the lock, yes. A control key pulls the core straight out at the door and a new core drops in, so a turnover in a school dorm or a tenant change in a commercial suite is a thirty second job at the opening rather than a lock teardown at the bench. That is the whole reason to put the 16CR housing in a Sargent mortise lock instead of a conventional mortise cylinder.
7) I'm ordering SFIC housings for a building, what do I need to specify besides the housing?
Three things beyond the housing itself. The cam has to match the lock brand, the 004 on this one is the Sargent cam. The core is separate, so specify 6-pin or 7-pin, the keyway, and whether it's keyed alike, keyed different, or masterkeyed. And you'll want a control key on hand, without it nobody can pull or seat a core. Length is already settled here at 1-1/4 inch.
8) Is a solid brass cylinder housing durable enough for a high traffic commercial door?
The 16CR-27X004 is machined from solid brass, which is the normal material for mortise cylinder housings, it threads cleanly, resists galling against the lock body, and won't corrode the way a plated pot metal shell will. Brass is soft enough that the housing itself is not the security barrier, the lock body and any cylinder guard ring do that work. For an aggressive opening, pair it with a collar or guard ring to keep a wrench off the exposed ring.
