Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 217F42-2, a whole cylinder or just a part?
It is a single component, not a cylinder. The 217F42-2 is the brass spring cover that sits over the spring chambers in a Corbin Russwin 5-pin pin tumbler cylinder, holding the springs captive so the pins stack and return consistently. If you need a complete keyed cylinder, order a cylinder rather than this part.
2) Will a Corbin Russwin spring cover work on a 6-pin or 7-pin cylinder?
No. The 217F42-2 is made for 5-pin Corbin Russwin cylinders, so the cover length matches a 5-chamber shell. A 6- or 7-pin shell has more chambers than this cover spans, and you need the cover for that pin count instead.
3) If a Corbin Russwin cylinder is worn out rather than just missing a spring cover, what complete cylinder can go in instead of the 217F42-2 part?
The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a spring cover component for rebuilding a 5-pin brass pin tumbler cylinder, not a working cylinder on its own. If the cylinder body itself is spent, order a complete unit: the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys, and the Schlage 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Rekeying and keyway must be coordinated with the rest of the opening either way.
4) Is the 217F42-2 a keyed cylinder core I can swap to rekey a door?
No. The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a replacement spring cover that sits inside a 5-pin brass pin tumbler cylinder assembly; it carries no pins, plug, or key. For swap-out rekeying you want an interchangeable core, such as the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core or the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder. The Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam if the housing needs replacing too.
5) What looks like an alternative to the 217F42-2 but will not work in a Corbin Russwin cylinder?
Watch out for parts and cylinders built around another maker's housing. The Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder is specified for Sargent, the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, and the Adams Rite 4024 and 4025 cylinder pulls are designed for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch. The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is an OEM part for Corbin Russwin pin tumbler cylinder assemblies and should be matched to those.
6) Our spec calls for a Grade 1 mortise cylinder. Does the 217F42-2 satisfy that line item?
No. The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a commercial-grade replacement spring cover for a 5-pin brass cylinder, so it is a service part rather than a specified cylinder. Where a drawing calls out a graded mortise cylinder, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security in the 4036 Series, listed for a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder with a Schlage C keyway.
7) Can I rebuild a Corbin Russwin cylinder in the field instead of replacing the whole thing?
That is the point of this part. Swapping the 5-pin brass spring cover lets a locksmith restore spring retention on an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder without pulling and replacing the complete cylinder, which keeps the existing keying and the existing lock in service.
8) Is this an aftermarket part or genuine Corbin Russwin?
Genuine OEM. The 217F42-2 is a Corbin Russwin cylinder part, so the cover fits the factory shell dimensions rather than needing to be filed or shimmed to sit flat.
9) I need a complete 5-pin cylinder, not a spring cover. What are my options?
For a full keyed cylinder, look at a complete assembly rather than a service part. Schlage's 20-021 rim cylinder (6-pin, vertical tailpiece cam) and the 20-022 (6-pin, horizontal cam) cover rim applications, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, and BEST's 1C Series is a standard 5-pin interchangeable core. The 217F42-2 only replaces the spring cover inside an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder.
10) Does the 217F42-2 come keyed, or with keys?
No keys and no keying. It is a mechanical service component of the cylinder body, so it does not affect keyway or key bitting. If you need keys supplied, that comes with a complete cylinder such as the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder, which ships with two keys.
11) We want higher key control than rebuilding the old 5-pin cylinder gives us. What should we look at?
Rebuilding with the Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 spring cover restores the original 5-pin brass cylinder's security level rather than raising it. For stronger key control, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series. Medeco also appears in complete-cylinder form, such as the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Those are cylinder or core replacements, not parts, so plan on a keying change across the affected doors.
12) For a key-in-knob or key-in-lever lock, is the 217F42-2 the right part or do I need a whole cylinder?
The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a spring cover used when servicing an existing 5-pin brass pin tumbler cylinder, so it only helps if the cylinder body stays in the lock. For a key-in-knob or lever replacement cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. The Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T Series 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys.
13) For a deadbolt or handleset that needs a rim-type lazy motion cylinder, what takes the place of servicing a Corbin Russwin cylinder?
The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 spring cover serves Corbin Russwin pin tumbler cylinder assemblies and is not a deadbolt cylinder. For those openings, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder.
14) We are standardizing a campus on one keyway. Does rebuilding cylinders with the 217F42-2 fit that plan?
The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 restores existing Corbin Russwin 5-pin brass cylinders in place, which keeps the doors on whatever keyway they already carry, so it suits facilities staying with Corbin Russwin. If the goal is to move a campus onto one documented keyway, complete cylinders are the path: the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish, and the Detex MC65 also uses a Schlage C keyway.
15) Why brass for a cylinder spring cover?
Brass resists corrosion, which matters because a spring cover sits directly against steel springs inside a cylinder that may see humidity or exterior exposure. A corroded cover binds the springs and causes sticky pins, so the brass construction is about keeping pin return consistent over time.
16) Is this part suitable for a commercial building like a school or hospital?
Yes, it is a commercial-grade component and is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and retail. For a facility standardizing on Corbin Russwin cylinders, stocking the 5-pin spring cover lets in-house maintenance service cylinders instead of scrapping them.
17) On a pull-side door that never needs to be keyed, is a spring cover part the wrong thing to order?
Yes, if nothing is being rebuilt. The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a service part for an existing 5-pin brass cylinder assembly. For an opening that only needs the look of a cylinder without key operation, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder measures 1-5/32 inch in diameter. The Emtek CY4 cylinder is sold each if a single-cylinder replacement is what the door actually needs.
18) What is the difference between ordering the 217F42-2 and ordering an Adams Rite 4026 cylinder pull?
They address different jobs. The Corbin Russwin 217F42-2 is a 5-pin brass spring cover that goes inside a Corbin Russwin cylinder during field service. The Adams Rite 4026 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications, designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch, so it is a complete trim and cylinder assembly tied to that lock rather than an internal component.
