Corbin Russwin 197K51 59C1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Corbin Russwin 197K51 include the whole mortise cylinder or just the plug?
Plug only. The 197K51 is the cylinder plug (core) for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder, sold as a replacement part so you can service or rekey an existing 1001 housing instead of buying a complete cylinder assembly. If your housing is damaged or you don't already have a 1001 hotel mortise cylinder in the door, the plug alone won't get the lock working.
2) Will the 197K51 plug fit a standard Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder, or only the hotel version?
Only the 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. Hotel function cylinders are built differently from standard mortise cylinders, and the 197K51 is specified as a direct-fit plug for the 1001 hotel cylinder. For a conventional mortise cylinder opening, order a complete mortise cylinder rather than this plug.
3) If the whole 1001 hotel mortise cylinder needs replacing instead of just the plug, what complete mortise cylinder can be used?
The Corbin Russwin 197K51 59C1 is a plug-only replacement part for the 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder, so it does not include a shell or housing. When the entire cylinder is being swapped out, a complete mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65, a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder with the Schlage C keyway, or the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security are full assemblies rather than service parts. Note that both use their own keyways, so they will not key into an existing Corbin Russwin 59C system the way the 197K51 plug does.
4) What finishes is the 197K51 cylinder plug available in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Both are offered in the C1 and C2 keyway options, so match the plug face to the trim on the guest room doors, 626 for satin chrome/brushed nickel hardware and 606 where the lockset is brass.
5) Can I use the 197K51 plug to rekey guest room locks without pulling the mortise lock apart?
That's what it's for. Swapping the plug lets maintenance staff or a locksmith change the keying on an existing 1001 hotel mortise cylinder without replacing the full cylinder, which is the usual approach for hospitality rekeying programs, extended stay units, and healthcare or school mortise openings on a Corbin Russwin system. It is a commercial part, pinned and keyed on the 59C section.
6) Is the 197K51 an interchangeable core I can pull with a control key?
No. It's a conventional cylinder plug for the 1001 hotel mortise cylinder, serviced by disassembling the cylinder, not a small-format or full-size interchangeable core. If you want core-swap keying instead, that calls for an IC product such as the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core or a Schlage 20-057 full-size interchangeable core rim cylinder, both different systems from Corbin Russwin 59C.
7) Is a BEST interchangeable core the same thing as the Corbin Russwin 197K51 plug?
No. The 197K51 59C1 is a cylinder plug for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder, pinned to the 59C keyway and installed into the existing cylinder shell. A BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core or a BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core is a figure-eight core that drops into BEST-prepped housings with a control key, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented 7-pin brass core in the same 150 Series format. Those cores are not interchangeable with a Corbin Russwin plug and do not fit the 1001 hotel cylinder.
8) What cylinder should I use for a rim exit device rather than a mortise lock?
The Corbin Russwin 197K51 59C1 serves the 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder and is a mortise-format part. For a rim application, the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. If the facility runs full size interchangeable core, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam.
9) We are rekeying key-in-knob and lever locks, not mortise cylinders. What is the equivalent part?
The Corbin Russwin 197K51 59C1 is a mortise cylinder plug for the 1001 hotel cylinder and will not serve a key-in-knob or lever lock. For those, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 Series is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks, 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 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys.
10) Will the Corbin Russwin 197K51 plug work in an aluminum storefront narrow stile door?
No. The 197K51 59C1 is a service plug for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder used in hospitality and commercial mortise lock applications. Narrow stile aluminum storefront hardware takes different cylinder formats: the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull mounts with through-screws, both for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, while the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is intended for wood door applications with the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch.
11) Can I use the Corbin Russwin 197K51 plug to upgrade a hotel lock to a high-security patented key system?
The 197K51 59C1 keeps the opening on the existing Corbin Russwin 59C keying system, which is what makes it the brand-matched choice for servicing or rekeying a 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. Patented restricted keying is a different path: the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and Medeco retrofit cylinders such as the 1065140 5-pin for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handlesets and the 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with Emtek tailpiece replace the cylinder rather than reuse the existing keyway.
12) Our hotel is standardizing on interchangeable core. Is the 197K51 plug still the right part?
The 197K51 59C1 plug is a conventional service part: it goes into the existing Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder and keeps that cylinder in place. A facility moving to interchangeable core is changing the cylinder format, not the plug, and would look at FSIC or SFIC products such as the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish, or BEST small format cores like the 1C Series standard 5-pin core. Standardizing that way means replacing cylinders across the openings rather than rekeying plugs.
13) What is the deadbolt equivalent if the opening uses a deadbolt rather than a hotel mortise lock?
The 197K51 59C1 plug is built for the Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder and is not a deadbolt part. For deadbolt openings, the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, and Medeco offers the 1012040, a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the 1075127, a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts.
14) We need a non-keyed filler for an unused cylinder hole. Does the 197K51 do that?
No. The Corbin Russwin 197K51 59C1 is a keyed plug pinned to the 59C keyway for servicing the 1001 Hotel Mortise Cylinder. For an opening where no key function is wanted, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is a non-functioning cylinder for rim prep.
