Arrow 16RCR-44 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Arrow 16RCR-44 part, and will it fit any rim cylinder?
The 16RCR-44 is the cam bar, or tailpiece, for Arrow's 16RCR rim cylinder housing. It is the flat bar that transfers key rotation from the cylinder back to the exit device or rim lock. It is made for the Arrow 16RCR housing only, so it is not a universal tailpiece and will not serve as a generic replacement across other brands' rim cylinders.
2) My rim cylinder turns with the key but the exit device won't retract. Do I need a whole new cylinder?
If the housing and plug are sound and the key turns freely, a bent, worn, or sheared cam bar is the usual cause, and on an Arrow 16RCR you can replace just the tailpiece with the 16RCR-44 instead of pulling and rekeying a whole cylinder. It is a field-serviceable part, so the existing keying stays as it is.
3) I have a Schlage or Corbin Russwin rim cylinder, not an Arrow. Can I use the 16RCR-44 cam bar on it?
No. The 16RCR-44 cam bar is built to Arrow's 16RCR housing dimensions, and rim tailpieces are not interchangeable between manufacturers. For a Schlage rim application you would order a complete cylinder such as the 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam. On the Corbin Russwin side, the 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing ships with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
4) If the whole Arrow rim cylinder is worn out and not just the tailpiece, what complete rim cylinder can be used instead of the Arrow 16RCR-44 cam bar?
The Arrow 16RCR-44 is only the cam bar (tailpiece) for the 16RCR rim cylinder housing, so it restores a housing that is otherwise sound. If the housing itself needs replacing, complete rim cylinders in the comparable set include the Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder, a 6-pin unit supplied with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage Commercial 20-022, the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and two keys. Which of those two suits the opening depends on the tailpiece orientation the exit device or rim lock body requires.
5) What is the difference between the Arrow 16RCR-44 cam bar and a Corbin Russwin 3070 rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece?
The Corbin Russwin 3070 is a complete 6-pin rim cylinder housing supplied with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, so it replaces the cylinder body and the tailpiece together. The Arrow 16RCR-44 is the cam bar alone, made to Arrow specifications for the 16RCR rim housing, which lets a worn or damaged tailpiece be swapped in the field without pulling and re-keying the cylinder.
6) Does the 16RCR-44 come with a cylinder, plug, or keys?
No. It is the cam bar alone, a replacement component for a 16RCR housing you already have in the door. If the housing itself is damaged or you need a keyed cylinder assembly, you need a complete rim cylinder rather than this service part.
7) I need an interchangeable core setup instead of a fixed Arrow rim cylinder. What should I be looking at?
A tailpiece like the 16RCR-44 only services a standard fixed-plug 16RCR housing, so it won't get you to a core system. For interchangeable core, look at the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam, or BEST's small-format cores such as the 1C 5-pin standard core and the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core.
8) Is there a rim cylinder that avoids choosing between a vertical and horizontal tailpiece?
Yes. The Schlage Commercial 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder supplied with a convertible tailpiece cam and two keys, so the same unit can be set up for either orientation in the field. The Arrow 16RCR-44 takes a different approach: it is a single dedicated cam bar made for the Arrow 16RCR rim housing, replacing the tailpiece without changing the housing or the keying.
9) Can a mortise cylinder be used in place of the Arrow 16RCR-44 rim cylinder cam bar?
No. The 16RCR-44 is a rim cylinder cam bar for the Arrow 16RCR rim housing, which mounts through the door and drives a rim device from behind. Mortise cylinders thread into a mortise lock case and use a cam rather than a rim cam bar: examples in the comparable set are the Corbin Russwin 1000 series 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, 1-1/8 inch 6-pin. Those are not interchangeable with a rim cam bar.
10) For an interchangeable core system, what should be specified instead of the Arrow 16RCR-44 tailpiece?
The 16RCR-44 is a commercial cam bar for a conventional Arrow 16RCR rim housing and is not part of an interchangeable core program. For IC keying, the comparable set includes the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series cylinder, and the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with 643E aged bronze finish.
11) I need a rim-type cylinder for a residential handleset or deadbolt, not a commercial exit device. Is the Arrow 16RCR-44 the right part?
No. The 16RCR-44 is a commercial-grade cam bar for the Arrow 16RCR rim cylinder housing used in mechanical lock applications. For handleset and deadbolt work, the comparable set offers rim-type lazy motion cylinders instead: the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts.
12) Is there a retrofit cylinder for other Arrow locks, or does the 16RCR-44 cover those too?
The 16RCR-44 cam bar is made exclusively for the Arrow 16RCR rim cylinder housing and does not serve other Arrow lock bodies. For an Arrow JL interconnected lock, the comparable set lists the Medeco 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder, which also covers Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder positions.
13) Is the Arrow 16RCR-44 tailpiece a commercial part or for residential locks?
Commercial. The 16RCR-44 is catalogued as a commercial mechanical lock component, the kind of cylinder service part used on office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant housing, and government facilities.
14) How many 16RCR-44 cam bars do I order for a building standardized on Arrow 16RCR cylinders?
The 16RCR-44 is sold as a single cam bar, one per cylinder, so order one for each 16RCR housing you are servicing. Facilities standardized on Arrow 16RCR rim cylinders often stock a few on the shelf, since replacing the tailpiece is quicker and cheaper than swapping cylinders and rekeying them.
15) Is the 16RCR-44 a genuine Arrow part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Arrow, made to Arrow's own specifications for the 16RCR housing, which is why it drops in without filing or shimming the cam bar to fit.
16) The rim opening only needs a pull and no working cylinder. What takes the place of the Arrow 16RCR-44 there?
A cam bar such as the 16RCR-44 exists to transmit key rotation, so it is not needed where nothing has to be actuated. For a non-operating rim position, the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep without a working mechanism. Where a keyed pull is wanted on an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock, the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws is made for that lock, and the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting covers the same MS1847 application.
17) Does buying the Arrow 16RCR-44 include a key or core, or is that ordered separately?
The 16RCR-44 is the cam bar component for the 16RCR rim housing, so the keying stays with the existing cylinder. Peers that come keyed or as cores are separate items: the Schlage 20-022 6-pin rim cylinder ships with two keys, the Falcon A23161-05 G key in lever cylinder is a RU/T series 6-pin G keyway unit keyed different with two cut keys, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core.
