Arrow 16RCR-125 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow 16RCR-125 spring washer work in a full size interchangeable core rim cylinder?
No. The 16RCR-125 is built for small format interchangeable core rim housings. FSIC rim cylinders are a different housing standard and use their own parts, so for a full size core setup you would be looking at an FSIC rim cylinder such as the Schlage Commercial 20-057 with its convertible tailpiece cam rather than an SFIC service washer.
2) My Arrow rim cylinder core is loose or binds when I turn the key. Is the spring washer the fix?
That is the symptom this part addresses. In an SFIC rim housing the spring washer maintains tension and alignment on the core; when it fatigues or is lost during a core swap, the core can sit loose and operation gets inconsistent. Replacing it with the genuine Arrow 16RCR-125 restores the original tension without changing anything about the keying.
3) If the SFIC rim housing itself is worn out rather than just the spring washer, what complete rim cylinder can be used instead of the Arrow 16RCR-125?
The Arrow 16RCR-125 is only the spring washer that restores tension and alignment inside an SFIC rim housing assembly, so it does nothing for a damaged housing. For a complete rim cylinder, the Schlage Commercial 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and 2 keys, and the Corbin Russwin 3070-178 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. Note that the Schlage 20-057 takes a full size interchangeable core rather than a small format core, so the existing SFIC cores would not transfer into it.
4) The opening needs a mortise cylinder, not a rim cylinder - what should be ordered instead of the Arrow 16RCR-125?
The Arrow 16RCR-125 is a spring washer for SFIC rim housing cylinders, which mount behind the door face and drive an exit device or rim lock. Mortise prep calls for a threaded mortise cylinder instead: the Corbin Russwin CR1000-112 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder at 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, the CR1070-114-A01 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder. Cam style must match the lock body, so confirm the cam the existing lock requires.
5) On an aluminum storefront with an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock, is the Arrow 16RCR-125 the right part?
No. The 16RCR-125 is a spring washer for SFIC rim housing cylinders. Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems are served by cylinder pulls: the Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for the MS1847, and the 4025 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same deadlock. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 4026 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull is intended for the 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
6) The rim cylinder drives an exit device and the tailpiece cam orientation is wrong - does the Arrow 16RCR-125 correct that?
No. The 16RCR-125 is a spring washer and does not change cam geometry. Cam orientation is set by the cylinder itself: the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and 2 keys, the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys, and the 20-057 uses a convertible tailpiece cam. Match the cam orientation to what the exit device chassis expects before ordering.
7) If the whole Arrow rim housing is worn out rather than just the washer, what do I order instead?
A spring washer will not save a housing with a chewed cam seat or a damaged shell. In that case replace the rim cylinder housing outright. Comparable rim housings include the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, and the Schlage Commercial 20-021 and 20-022 6-pin rim cylinders, which differ from each other only in vertical versus horizontal tailpiece cam. Match the cam orientation and tailpiece length to your exit device or nightlatch.
8) Does ordering the 16RCR-125 washer mean I also need a new core or keys?
No. The washer is purely mechanical hardware inside the housing and has nothing to do with keying, so your existing small format core and keys stay in service. If you do want a fresh interchangeable core to go with the repair, small format cores are sold separately, for example the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core.
9) I need a cylinder for a mortise lock, not a rim housing. Is this part usable?
No, and the distinction matters on the order form. The 16RCR-125 serves rim housings only. For mortise prep you want a mortise cylinder sized to the lock and with the correct cam, such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder at 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, or the 1070 Grade 1 6-pin mortise housing at 1-1/4 inch with an A01 cloverleaf cam.
10) Will the Arrow 16RCR-125 work in a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder?
No. The 16RCR-125 is specific to SFIC rim housing cylinder assemblies. Key-in-knob and key-in-lever cylinders are a different body entirely and are replaced as a unit - the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks. For a key-in-lever cylinder in the Falcon line, the A23161-05 G is a 6-pin G keyway cylinder supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys.
11) Is a BEST 1C5 core a substitute for the Arrow 16RCR-125?
No. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core - the keyed plug that drops into an interchangeable core housing. The Arrow 16RCR-125 is a replacement spring washer that sits in the rim housing assembly and maintains tension and alignment. A worn washer is not corrected by a new core, and a rekey or core swap is not corrected by a washer. Facilities servicing interchangeable core systems often need both on the truck for different symptoms.
12) For an interchangeable core mortise lock rather than a rim application, what cylinder covers that?
The Arrow 16RCR-125 spring washer serves SFIC rim housing assemblies only. For an interchangeable core mortise application, the Corbin Russwin CR1080-112-A01 is a Grade 1 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 cam. Because it is a large format interchangeable core housing, small format cores from an SFIC system will not seat in it.
13) What is the difference between ordering the Arrow 16RCR-125 and ordering a dummy rim cylinder like the BEST 12E?
The Arrow 16RCR-125 restores mechanical function in a working keyed SFIC rim housing by replacing its spring washer. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, with a 1-5/32 inch diameter, is a non-keyed blank used to fill a rim cylinder hole where no key operation is wanted. If the goal is to keep the opening keyed, the washer is the service part; if the goal is to retire key access at that leaf and close the hole, the dummy is the part.
14) A rim cylinder on a deadbolt or handleset is binding - is the Arrow 16RCR-125 the fix?
The 16RCR-125 addresses tension and alignment inside SFIC rim housing assemblies, not residential-style deadbolt and handleset cylinders. Those are replaced as complete units: the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. Tailpiece style is what determines fit here.
15) Is this an aftermarket part or genuine Arrow?
Genuine Arrow, sourced from the manufacturer, and catalogued as a replacement part rather than a generic equivalent. For locksmiths and in-house maintenance crews servicing existing Arrow SFIC hardware, that matters because a substitute washer with different spring rate or thickness can leave the core sitting proud or turning rough.
16) Is the Arrow 16RCR-125 rated for commercial door use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It is built to Arrow's commercial door hardware standards and is the kind of part kept on hand by facilities maintaining interchangeable core systems in offices, schools, hospitals, and government buildings, where the same keyway runs across many openings and cylinders get serviced rather than replaced.
17) We want to upgrade key control at the same time we service Arrow SFIC rim housings - what cores go beyond a simple washer replacement?
The Arrow 16RCR-125 is a commercial-grade OEM spring washer, a maintenance part that returns an existing assembly to proper operation without changing key control. To change key control, the BEST 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core, 7-pin, brass, 150 series. Confirm the core format of the existing housings before switching, since pin count and core family govern whether keys and housings carry over.
18) Can I order a finished FSIC core instead of servicing Arrow SFIC rim housings with the 16RCR-125?
They solve different problems. The Arrow 16RCR-125 keeps an existing small format interchangeable core rim housing in service by replacing its spring washer. The Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish, which means a different core format and a different key system from a small format Arrow setup. Switching formats affects every housing on the keying schedule, so it is a system decision rather than a one-door repair.
