Arrow 16CR-AR18 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Arrow 16CR-AR18, a full cylinder or just a part?
The 16CR-AR18 is a replacement cam only, not a cylinder. It is the staked-on cam that mounts to an Arrow small format interchangeable core (SFIC) cylinder so the cylinder can drive an Adams Rite style lock. If you need the housing and core as well, order those separately; this part restores or replaces the cam on an existing Arrow cylinder assembly.
2) Will the Arrow 16CR-AR18 cam work on a non-SFIC mortise cylinder?
No. The 16CR-AR18 cam is built for Arrow small format interchangeable core cylinder configurations in Adams Rite applications. A conventional mortise cylinder takes a standard mortise cam instead, such as the A01 cloverleaf cam supplied on the Corbin Russwin 1070 housing or the A02 straight cam on the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series mortise cylinder.
3) Is the Arrow 16CR-AR18 cam the right part for an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock that needs a cylinder pull?
No. The 16CR-AR18 is a staked-on cam for SFIC cylinder configurations - a component that drives the lock, not door trim. For an MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch needing a cylinder pull, the Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws, both specified for use with the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch. On a wood door, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is intended for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch.
4) If the Adams Rite cylinder itself is worn out rather than just the cam, what complete cylinder can be installed instead of the Arrow 16CR-AR18 cam?
The Arrow 16CR-AR18 is a replacement cam only - a staked-on cam for SFIC cylinder configurations used in Adams Rite applications, and it restores cam actuation on an otherwise sound cylinder. If the cylinder body is the problem, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a complete five-pin Grade 1 mortise cylinder in the 4036 series, rated for doors 1/2 inch minimum thickness. Choosing the 4036 replaces the whole cylinder assembly; choosing the 16CR-AR18 keeps the existing cylinder and changes only the cam.
5) We run small format interchangeable core keying. Does the Arrow 16CR-AR18 replace the core, or do we need a separate core?
The 16CR-AR18 is the cam side of the assembly - a factory staked-on cam for Small Format Interchangeable Core cylinder configurations, so it does not supply the keyed core. The removable core is a separate item: the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, the BEST 1CB is an interchangeable core cylinder in the 1CB 150 series, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented 7-pin brass interchangeable core in the 150 series. Order the cam to restore cam function and the core to change or upgrade the keying.
6) Can the staked-on cam be removed and reused on another cylinder?
Treat it as permanent. The cam is factory staked on, which fixes its position on the tailpiece for consistent lock actuation, so it is installed once on the cylinder rather than swapped between housings. Rekeying is handled by pulling the interchangeable core, not by touching the cam.
7) We run BEST interchangeable cores in our building. Does an Arrow SFIC cam like the 16CR-AR18 fit that program?
The 16CR-AR18 is an Arrow part matched to Arrow SFIC cylinder assemblies, so pair it with Arrow housings. If your keying program is built on BEST small format cores, the core side is covered by parts like the BEST 1C Series 5-pin core or the 1CDF drill resistant 7-pin core, and the cylinder housing has to be the one those cores were specified into.
8) Is a rim cylinder cam the same thing as this Arrow SFIC cam?
No, they are different parts for different housings. Rim cylinders carry a tailpiece cam sized for a rim device, for example the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 with a horizontal one, or the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece. The 16CR-AR18 is a staked-on cam for an Arrow small format interchangeable core cylinder used in Adams Rite applications.
9) Our Arrow cylinders are full size interchangeable core, not small format. What should we look at instead of the 16CR-AR18?
The 16CR-AR18 cam is built for Small Format Interchangeable Core configurations, so it is not the match for a full size interchangeable core opening. For FSIC work, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. Confirm which core format your existing housings accept before ordering either.
10) Can the Arrow 16CR-AR18 cam be used to change the cam style on a mortise cylinder the way a cloverleaf or straight cam does?
The 16CR-AR18 is a staked-on cam, meaning the cam is permanently attached for consistent cam positioning rather than being a field-selected cam style on a mortise housing. Where the job calls for a specific mortise cam, the cylinder is ordered with it: the Corbin Russwin 1000 series 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder comes with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing comes with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC 6-pin mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks uses an A01 cloverleaf cam.
11) What is the difference between the Arrow 16CR-AR18 and a rim cylinder with a tailpiece cam like the Schlage 20-021 or 20-022?
The 16CR-AR18 is a cam on its own, staked on for SFIC cylinder configurations in Adams Rite applications, and it is ordered when the cylinder stays in the door. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are complete 6-pin rim cylinders supplied with two keys, the 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Rim cylinders mount through the door face to an exit device or rim lock, so the orientation of the tailpiece decides which one fits; the Arrow cam does not change a rim cylinder's tailpiece orientation.
12) We need to add keyed control to an Arrow interconnected lock, not repair a cam. Is there a cylinder for that?
The 16CR-AR18 addresses the cam in an existing SFIC cylinder assembly and is a commercial replacement part, so it is not the item for adding a keyed cylinder. The Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock that also covers Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder positions. For a key-in-knob or lever position on other brands, the Kaba Ilco 1539 series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder and the 1579 series is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent.
13) Would a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder work in place of the Arrow 16CR-AR18 on an Adams Rite opening?
They are not interchangeable items. The Detex MC65 is a complete 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, so it brings its own keying and body. The Arrow 16CR-AR18 is only the staked-on cam for an SFIC cylinder configuration in Adams Rite applications, keeping the existing core and keyway in service. Pick the MC65 if you are replacing a mortise cylinder outright and can accept the C keyway; pick the Arrow cam if the SFIC keying system stays as it is.
14) Is the 16CR-AR18 cam suitable for high traffic commercial openings?
Yes, it is a commercial-rated component from Arrow's parts line, used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, government buildings, warehouses and multi-tenant properties running Adams Rite lock hardware on interchangeable core systems.
15) How many versions of the Arrow 16CR-AR18 cam are there?
One. The cam is sold as a single configuration under model 16CR-AR18, with no finish, length or handing options to specify when ordering.
16) Is a dummy cylinder such as the BEST 12E an alternative to the Arrow 16CR-AR18?
No - they serve opposite purposes. The 16CR-AR18 is a working cam that transfers key rotation into lock actuation on an SFIC cylinder in an Adams Rite application. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, with a 1-5/32 inch diameter, fills a cylinder hole for appearance and is not keyed to operate the lock. Use the Arrow cam when the opening must lock and unlock, and a dummy cylinder only where the prep exists but no keyed function is wanted.
