Corbin Russwin CR1000-112-A02-6-L4 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is an A02 straight cam and how do I know if that is the cam my lock needs?

The cam is the flat tail on the back of the cylinder that turns and drives the lock's mechanism, and A02 is Corbin Russwin's straight cam, the standard shape for their mortise lock cases and DL3000 deadlocks. The 1000 Series platform also runs A01 cloverleaf, A03 Adams Rite MS, A04 DL4000, A05 Adams Rite 4070, A06 Schlage cloverleaf, A07 DL4100, and A62 900 KRM straight. Pull your old cylinder and look at the tail: if it is a flat straight bar rather than a four-lobe cloverleaf or an Adams Rite MS blade, A02 is the one you want.

2) Can I get this Corbin Russwin cylinder keyed into my building's existing master key system?

That is what the 1000 Series is for. It is a conventional mortise cylinder, so the pinning is fixed in the cylinder body rather than living in a removable core, and it is meant to be built into a master key system. The decision you make when ordering is the keyway: 85 keyways are offered, from the 27, 57, 59, 67, 77 and 98 families through the AR, BL, BR, D, G, H, L and N series. Match the keyway already used across your building or your system will not key alike or master together.

3) Will a mortise cylinder work in my aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlatch?

Not with the A02 straight cam. Adams Rite MS deadlocks and the 4070 latches need their own cam geometry, which the 1000 Series covers as the A03 Adams Rite MS and A05 Adams Rite 4070 cams, not A02. If the opening is an aluminum storefront running an MS1847 deadlock, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is the purpose-built Grade 1 option, and for a cylinder pull on that same deadlock look at the Adams Rite 4024 with trim plate mounting or the 4025 with through-screws.

4) I need a mortise cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, will this Corbin Russwin one work?

No. The 1000 Series runs Corbin Russwin keyways only, 85 of them across the 27, 57, 59, 67, 77, 98, AR, BL, BR, D, G, H, L and N families, so a Schlage C key will not enter it. If your building is keyed on Schlage C, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The 1000 Series does offer an A06 Schlage cloverleaf cam, but that is about matching the lock's cam geometry, not the key.

5) Will this cylinder fit a DL3000 deadlock?

Yes, DL3000 deadlocks are a named application for the 1000 Series, and the A02 straight cam is the right cam for that lock. Note the family split: the 1000 Series uses a different cam for the DL4000 (A04) and the DL4100 (A07), so if your deadlock is one of those, the A02 is the wrong part and you need the matching cam version instead.

6) Is the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder an equivalent to a Corbin Russwin 1000 series mortise cylinder?

They are both commercial mortise cylinders, but they are not the same keying platform or the same length. The Detex MC65 is a six-pin mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway at 1-1/8 inch. The Corbin Russwin 112 is 1-1/2 inch and is offered across the Corbin Russwin keyway range, including the 27, 57, 59, 67, 77 and N families as well as 981, 982 and 983. Cylinder length has to match the lock body and door thickness the hardware was prepped for, and the keyway has to match the key system already in the building. The MC65 suits a Schlage C keyed site needing 1-1/8 inch; the Corbin Russwin 112 suits a Corbin Russwin keyed site needing 1-1/2 inch.

7) Can I use a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder in place of a Corbin Russwin 112 mortise cylinder?

No. Those are two different cylinder body types and they are not interchangeable. The Schlage 20-021 is a rim cylinder, a six-pin unit with a vertical tailpiece cam that mounts through the door and drives a surface-applied device from behind. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a conventional mortise cylinder that threads into the cylinder hole of a mortise lock body and turns an A02 straight cam. A rim device needs a rim cylinder and its tailpiece; a mortise lock or DL3000 deadlock needs the threaded mortise cylinder. If the exit device is a rim device, the Schlage 20-021 with the vertical tailpiece or the 20-022 with the horizontal tailpiece is the correct body style, not a mortise cylinder.

8) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 112 mortise cylinder and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder?

Both are mortise cylinders, but they are built for different lock platforms. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a conventional mortise cylinder with an A02 straight cam, non-handed, and it is intended for all mortise locks and DL3000 deadlocks. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 series with a door thickness range starting at 1/2 inch minimum, which is the aluminum stile territory Adams Rite hardware lives in. If the cylinder is threading into a narrow aluminum stile door, the 4036 is the one dimensioned for it; if it is going into a standard mortise lock body or a DL3000 deadlock, the Corbin Russwin 112 with the A02 straight cam is the match.

9) I want to be able to rekey the door without pulling the lock apart. What should I use instead of a conventional mortise cylinder?

That calls for an interchangeable core rather than a conventional cylinder. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a conventional mortise cylinder, meaning it is a fixed-core unit that is pinned and serviced as a cylinder. An interchangeable core system lets a control key pull the core out at the door. The BEST 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core seven-pin brass 150 series core; the BEST 1C5 is a standard five-pin cylinder core. On the Schlage side, the 20-057 is a six-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and the 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in the C keyway. Choose the conventional 112 when the site keying is conventional and the cylinder is serviced in the shop.

10) The lock on the door is a key-in-lever, not a mortise lock. Which cylinder do I need?

A key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock takes a knob or lever cylinder, not a mortise cylinder. The Corbin Russwin 112 threads into a mortise lock body and drives an A02 straight cam, and it is specified for mortise locks and DL3000 deadlocks. For lever and knob locks, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. The Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a six-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with two cut keys. Confirm the lock body style at the door before ordering, because the cylinder body has to match it.

11) Do I need to order a left hand and right hand version of this Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder?

No. The 1000 Series mortise cylinder is non-handed, so the same part goes into a left hand or right hand door. That is a real stocking advantage for a property manager or an MRO crib: one cylinder line covers every opening in the building regardless of swing, and you only vary keyway and finish.

12) Is a cylinder pull the same thing as a mortise cylinder?

No. A cylinder pull is a pull handle with a cylinder housing built into it, used on narrow stile doors, while a mortise cylinder is just the keying component that threads into a lock. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for MS1847 deadlock systems, the 4025 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847, and the 4026 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a conventional mortise cylinder for mortise locks and DL3000 deadlocks; it supplies the keying to an existing lock and does not provide a pull.

13) I only need a cylinder to fill the hole and match the other doors, with no key function. Is there a simpler option?

Yes, for a hole that needs to look right but not operate, a dummy cylinder is the simpler part. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and provides the appearance without a working key function. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a keyed conventional mortise cylinder supplied with two keys and built to integrate into a master key system, so it is the choice wherever the opening actually has to be keyed and carried on the building's key schedule. Note the 12E is a rim body, so confirm the door prep before substituting either way.

14) What cylinder should I use for a residential deadbolt or handleset instead of a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder?

Deadbolts and handlesets generally take a rim type or retrofit cylinder rather than a threaded mortise cylinder. The Medeco 1012040 is a six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1075127 is a five-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the 1065244 is a five-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece. The Medeco 1065140 is a five-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, and Emtek also offers the CY4 cylinder as a parts item. The Corbin Russwin 112 is a commercial conventional mortise cylinder for mortise locks and DL3000 deadlocks, which is the commercial side of that decision.

15) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series mortise cylinder come in to match my existing lever trim?

Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. On a commercial opening the two you will reach for most are 626 satin chrome and 613 oil-rubbed bronze, since those are what most modern lever and mortise trim is specified in. The cylinder ring shows on the outside of the door, so match the number stamped on your existing trim rather than eyeballing the color.
