Camden CM-CYL60 1-1/8" Solid Brass Mortise Cylinder

Two keying options are offered on the CM-CYL60 mortise cylinder: keyed alike and keyed different. Keyed alike means multiple cylinders on the order operate from the same key, which is what a property manager wants when one key needs to run several doors or several strike/maglock releases in the same building. Keyed different gives each cylinder its own key so no key crosses over between openings. Pick keyed alike for a group of doors under one key, keyed different for individually controlled openings.

1-1/8 inch is the shortest of the common mortise cylinder lengths and it is what most exit device trim, electric strike housings and shallow mortise preps take. If your lock body or a thicker door needs more reach, you step up to a 1-1/4 inch housing like the Corbin Russwin 1070 or a 1-1/2 inch like the Corbin Russwin 1000. Measure from the face of the collar to the back of the cylinder on the part you are pulling out before you order.

No. The CM-CYL60 is a conventional pinned mortise cylinder, not an interchangeable core housing, so it cannot accept an IC core and will not fall into an existing SFIC or LFIC keying system. For an interchangeable core building, look at BEST 1C Series 5-pin cores, the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, or a large format housing such as the Corbin Russwin 1080 LFIC mortise cylinder. Schlage's 20-057 is the full size interchangeable core rim option.

The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin commercial grade construction, matching the Camden CM-CYL60 on both the mortise cylinder format and the 1-1/8 inch length. Use the MC65 when the building is already keyed to Schlage C and the new opening has to run on the same key. The CM-CYL60 is offered keyed different or keyed alike, so if the Camden is being ordered for a small group of doors on one key, that is handled within the Camden line itself.

Not the Camden CM-CYL60, which is a mortise cylinder. Key-in-knob and key-in-lever locks take a figure-8 or lock-specific cylinder: the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. For a keyed lever from a Falcon RU/T series lock, the A23161-05 G is a 6-pin G keyway key-in-lever cylinder supplied keyed different with two cut keys. Identify the lock manufacturer first, since these are not cross-brand interchangeable.

No - they are different housings and are not interchangeable. The Camden CM-CYL60 is a mortise cylinder, which threads into a mortise lock case or an electric strike housing tapped for it. Rim cylinders such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the Schlage 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam mount through the door from the outside and drive a surface-mounted rim device with a tailpiece rather than a cam. Confirm what the device behind the door accepts before substituting either way.

Commercial. The CM-CYL60 is a solid brass mortise cylinder built for commercial door hardware, not a residential retrofit cylinder. Solid brass is the standard body material for commercial cylinders because it machines tight around the pin chambers and holds up in exterior openings.

For a Camden access control opening that calls for a keyed mortise cylinder, the CM-CYL60 is Camden's own 1-1/8 inch solid brass cylinder, so you are keeping the cylinder and the device under one brand. Confirm the device takes a mortise-threaded cylinder rather than a rim cylinder, and match the cam to the device, since the cam is what actually moves the mechanism.

The closest cross-brand match to the Camden CM-CYL60 is the Detex MC65, also a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder, supplied 6-pin in the Schlage C keyway. If your opening is an Adams Rite narrow stile aluminum door, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is the one built for that hardware, rated Grade 1 and listed down to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness.

Yes, the keyed alike option on the CM-CYL60 is how you do that. Order the quantity you need as keyed alike and they operate from a common key, which is the usual approach for a maintenance or MRO key that has to open every mechanical room or every entry release in a facility. Openings that must stay isolated get ordered separately as keyed different.

The Camden CM-CYL60 is a fixed solid brass mortise cylinder, rekeyed the way any conventional cylinder is. For a facility that wants control key rekeying in seconds, look at interchangeable core instead: the BEST 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin core drops into BEST small format housings, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. IC requires the matching housing, so this is a system decision rather than a one-for-one swap.

The Camden CM-CYL60 is a commercial mortise cylinder and will not fit residential handleset prep. For those openings 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, and the 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. Match the tailpiece to the lock brand, since that is what decides fit here.

The Camden CM-CYL60 is a working solid brass mortise cylinder, offered keyed different or keyed alike. When the opening only needs the appearance of a cylinder - a blank face on an inactive leaf or a filled prep - the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter serves that role. It is a rim format, so verify the door prep matches before specifying it in place of a mortise cylinder.
