Corbin Russwin 253K66 G 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 253K66 plug work with my existing Corbin Russwin G keyway keys?
Yes. The plug is machined for the Corbin Russwin G keyway, so it accepts keys already cut for a G keyway system and can be pinned into an existing masterkey system. A plug in a different Corbin Russwin keyway will not take G keys.
2) Can I use this plug in a mortise cylinder instead of a rim cylinder?
No. The 253K66 is machined for 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies. For a mortise application you need a mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65 or the Adams Rite 4036, not a rim cylinder plug.
3) If the whole rim cylinder is damaged rather than just the plug, what complete cylinder can be installed instead of the Corbin Russwin 253K66 plug?
The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug - a replacement part that drops into an existing Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder housing, not a complete cylinder. If the housing, shell, or cam is damaged, replace the whole unit instead. Complete rim cylinders include the Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder, a 6-pin unit with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys, and the Schlage Commercial 20-022, the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys. Choose the cam orientation that matches the exit device or rim lock being driven.
4) What is the difference between a Corbin Russwin 253K66 cylinder plug and an interchangeable core?
The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a machined 3000 Series rim cylinder plug with the Corbin Russwin G keyway; it is pinned inside a fixed cylinder housing, so rekeying means working the cylinder. An interchangeable core is pulled and swapped with a control key instead. Examples of the core approach include the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass for the 150 Series, and the Schlage Commercial 20-057 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Facilities that rotate keying frequently often standardize on cores; the 253K66 suits sites already built around Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders.
5) Can a Corbin Russwin 253K66 plug be used in a mortise cylinder application?
No. The 253K66 is machined for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies, so it belongs in rim cylinder bodies only. For mortise prep, use a mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65, a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway, or the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security, a Grade 1 4036 Series unit rated for doors 1/2 inch minimum thickness. Note that those two carry their own keyways rather than the Corbin Russwin G keyway.
6) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K66 the right part for a key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock?
No - the 253K66 plug is machined for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders, a different cylinder format from the small cylinders that fit inside knob and lever locksets. For those, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder are the correct format, with the Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder made for Sargent locks. If you need a G keyway key-in-lever cylinder, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a 6-pin G keyway RU/T Series key in lever cylinder supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys.
7) What finishes does the 253K66 rim cylinder plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one matching the cylinder housing and the rest of the trim on the opening, since the plug face is the visible part once the cylinder is installed.
8) Is this part suitable for commercial buildings with a masterkeyed system?
It's a commercial-grade part, intended for offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, industrial sites and multi-tenant residential. Because it comes as a plug in the G keyway, a locksmith pins it to your existing key schedule, which is how facilities keep rim cylinders on exit devices standardized across a building.
9) Does the 253K66 plug come with pins, springs or keys?
The 253K66 is sold as the cylinder plug in the G keyway. Pinning components and cut keys are separate, so a locksmith rebuilding a 3000 Series rim cylinder should have pin kits and key blanks on hand. If you want a cylinder that arrives keyed with keys included, a complete unit like the Schlage 20-022 rim cylinder ships with two keys.
10) I need to rekey a building fast, is a plug swap or an interchangeable core better?
Swapping the plug on a 3000 Series rim cylinder means pinning work at the bench or the door, which is fine for one-off repairs. If you rekey often, a small-format or full-size interchangeable core platform is faster, for example the BEST 1C Series 5-pin core or the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder, where the core pulls out with a control key.
11) We only need to fill a cylinder hole with no keying on that leaf - is the 253K66 plug the part?
No. The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a keyed 3000 Series rim cylinder plug machined for the G keyway, so it is part of a working, keyed cylinder. Where an opening needs the rim cylinder appearance without key function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter covers the prep as a non-functioning unit.
12) What should I use instead of the Corbin Russwin 253K66 on a narrow stile aluminum storefront with an MS deadlock?
The 253K66 is a plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies, which is not the hardware set used on a narrow stile MS deadlock opening. For those, the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, and the Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull using through-screws for the same MS1847 hardware. On wood doors, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is made for the 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
13) For a residential-style handleset or deadbolt retrofit, is the Corbin Russwin 253K66 an option?
The 253K66 is specified for commercial use as a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder plug, so it is not the retrofit part for residential handlesets and deadbolts. Medeco offers purpose-built retrofit cylinders for that work: the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders. An Emtek CY4 cylinder is also sold individually.
14) Is there a Corbin Russwin 253K66 option to match satin chrome hardware instead of brass?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin 253K66 3000 Series rim cylinder plug with the G keyway is offered in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome, so the plug can be matched to the surrounding trim without switching to another brand's cylinder and a different keyway, such as the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core in C keyway and 643E Aged Bronze.
