Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I rekey a hotel guest room lock with this plug instead of buying a whole new cylinder?
That is what it is for. Swapping the 197K51 plug into the existing 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder lets a locksmith or in-house maintenance tech restore or rekey the cylinder without replacing the full assembly, which keeps rooms out of service for less time.
2) If the whole hotel mortise cylinder housing is damaged rather than just the plug, what complete mortise cylinder can be used instead of the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 plug?
The Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 is a plug-only component for the 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder, so it restores a housing that is still serviceable. When the housing itself has to be replaced, order a complete mortise cylinder instead: the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway. Both are full cylinders, so the existing key system and cam requirements need to be confirmed before swapping.
3) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 197K51 plug come in?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Every keyway offered pairs with both, so you can match the plug face to the rest of the guest room trim without giving up your keyway.
4) I need a mortise cylinder, not a plug. What else is there?
If you need the whole cylinder rather than a rebuild part, look at the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder, a Grade 1 five-pin unit, or the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder, a 1-1/8 inch six-pin in the Schlage C keyway. Neither will key into a Corbin Russwin system, so they suit new openings rather than matching an existing Corbin master key.
5) Is the 197K51 an interchangeable core?
No. It is a conventional plug that goes inside a 1001 hotel mortise cylinder housing and gets pinned by your locksmith. If you are standardizing a facility on small format or full size interchangeable cores instead, that is a different route entirely, such as the BEST 1C five-pin core or the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder.
6) Is a BEST interchangeable core the same kind of part as the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 plug?
They solve a similar maintenance problem in different systems. The 197K51 252 is a keyed plug that drops into an existing Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder housing. BEST cores such as the 1C Series standard five-pin core, the Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, and the 1CDF drill resistant seven-pin brass 150 Series core are interchangeable cores designed for BEST core housings, not for a Corbin Russwin 1001 hotel cylinder. A facility standardizing on small format interchangeable core would move to the BEST cores and their matching housings rather than replace plugs.
7) Can a rim cylinder be used in place of the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252?
No. The 197K51 252 is a mortise cylinder plug for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. Rim cylinders mount behind the door face and drive a tailpiece: examples are the Schlage 20-021 six-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, the Schlage 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam, and the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter. Those serve rim exit devices and similar hardware, not a threaded hotel mortise cylinder body.
8) What should be ordered instead of the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 plug when rekeying key-in-knob or key-in-lever locks?
The 197K51 252 plug serves the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder only. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever rekeying, replacement cylinders built for that prep include the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 for Sargent knobs and levers, the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Falcon A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder with a six-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys. For deadbolts, the Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder covers that function.
9) How do the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 keyway options compare with cylinders that are fixed to one keyway?
The 197K51 252 plug is offered in keyways 252, 60, 70, 750, 751, 981, 982 and 983, in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, so it can be matched to an existing Corbin Russwin key system. By contrast, the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder is supplied in the Schlage C keyway and the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is supplied in the C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. Those fit sites keyed to Schlage C rather than a Corbin Russwin hotel system.
10) Will the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 work on an Adams Rite aluminum storefront deadlock?
No. The 197K51 252 is a replacement plug for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. Adams Rite storefront deadlocks are served by their own cylinder parts: the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five-pin cylinder pull with through-screws are both for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, the 4026 five-pin cylinder pull is for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch, and the 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder rated for 1/2 inch minimum door thickness.
11) For a facility that wants keying changes without disassembling cylinders, is there an alternative to the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 plug?
Yes. Replacing the 197K51 252 plug means opening the existing Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder housing to swap the keyed plug. A full size interchangeable core approach removes that step: the Schlage 20-057 is a six-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam supplied with two keys, and the Schlage 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway. Moving to interchangeable core means changing the cylinder housings as well, so it suits a planned standardization rather than a single-door repair.
12) Is this a commercial-duty part or a residential one?
Commercial. The 197K51 plug is a Corbin Russwin commercial cylinder component, used in hotel guest rooms, healthcare, schools, office buildings and multi-tenant residential maintenance work.
13) Is the Corbin Russwin 197K51 252 suitable for residential handlesets and deadbolts?
It is not intended for that use. The 197K51 252 is a commercial plug for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. Residential-style handleset and deadbolt retrofits are covered by other cylinders: the Medeco 1012040 six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065140 five-pin retrofit for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, the Medeco 1065244 five-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with Emtek tailpiece, the Medeco 1075127 five-pin rim lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Emtek CY4 cylinder sold each.
