Corbin Russwin 253K67 252 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) If the rim cylinder housing on a Corbin Russwin exit device is damaged, not just the plug, what is a complete rim cylinder to use instead?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67 252 is a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug - a replacement part meant to be fitted into an existing compatible Corbin Russwin rim cylinder housing, so it does not help if the housing itself is gone. For a complete rim cylinder, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder supplied with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage Commercial 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Match the cam orientation to what the exit device or rim lock case requires.
2) We want to move a Corbin Russwin rim opening to a full size interchangeable core system - what takes the place of the 253K67 plug?
The 253K67 252 is a conventional 7-pin plug keyed to a dedicated Corbin Russwin keyway, so it stays inside the conventional system. To convert to full size interchangeable core, the Schlage Commercial 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish. The FSIC route lets maintenance rekey by swapping cores rather than repinning a plug.
3) Is the 253K67 a 6-pin or 7-pin cylinder plug?
Seven pins. The 253K67 plug is built as a 7-pin tumbler, which is what Corbin Russwin uses for larger master key systems and tighter key control. If your existing system is pinned to 6, the 7-pin plug is not a like-for-like swap on that key bitting, so match the pin count of the system you are servicing.
4) I need a full-size interchangeable core so I can rekey without pulling the cylinder. Is this it?
No. The 253K67 is a conventional keyed plug for a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder, so rekeying means pinning the plug. If you want the ability to swap a core with a control key, look at an interchangeable core product instead, such as the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam, or a BEST 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin core if you want 7-pin key control with IC convenience.
5) I'm standardizing cylinders across a campus on Corbin Russwin keys. Can I order these all in one keyway?
Yes. Every keyway offered (60, 70, 252, 750, 751, 752, 852, 981, 982, 983) can be ordered in either 606 Satin Brass or 626 Satin Chrome, so you can hold one keyway across a facility and still match the finish on each opening. Specify keyway and finish together on each line of the order.
6) My Corbin Russwin rim cylinder key is worn or the system was compromised. Do I replace the whole cylinder?
Not necessarily. If the housing and cam are sound, replacing just the 3000 Series plug restores cylinder function and lets you move the opening to a new key bitting without disturbing the rim lock or exit device mounting. Order the plug in the keyway that matches (or intentionally breaks from) the existing system, plus the finish on the door.
7) Is a mortise cylinder an acceptable substitute for the Corbin Russwin 253K67 rim cylinder plug?
No. The 253K67 252 is built as a rim cylinder plug for surface-mounted rim lock and exit device cylinder applications. A mortise cylinder threads into a lock case instead and is not interchangeable with rim prep - examples in that family are the Detex MC65, a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036, a five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series rated Grade 1. Confirm whether the opening is prepped for rim or mortise before ordering.
8) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 253K67 252 plug and an interchangeable core like the BEST 1CB?
They service two different key systems. The 253K67 252 is a 7-pin rim cylinder plug with a dedicated Corbin Russwin keyway, made to be installed into a compatible 3000 Series rim cylinder housing by a hardware technician. The BEST Peaks 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, which is pulled and swapped as a core without disassembling the cylinder. A facility keyed on Corbin Russwin conventional cylinders uses the plug; a facility built on BEST interchangeable cores uses the core.
9) What should I order for a residential deadbolt or handleset instead of the Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug?
The 253K67 252 is a commercial part for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies and is not intended for residential lock bodies. For deadbolt and handleset work, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, 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 cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Pick by the lock brand you are retrofitting.
10) The cylinder I am replacing is in a lever or knob, not a rim device - what do I order?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67 252 is a rim cylinder plug and will not serve a key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock. For those, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder in the RU/T Series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different and supplied with two cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder made for Sargent locks.
11) I need to fill a rim cylinder hole with no key function - is the 253K67 the right part?
No. The 253K67 252 is a working 7-pin plug that restores key function in a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder. Where an opening needs the rim hole covered with no operating cylinder, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and is built for that purpose.
12) For a storefront with an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock, is the Corbin Russwin 253K67 the cylinder part to use?
No - the 253K67 252 is a plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies. Adams Rite narrow stile hardware uses its own cylinder pulls: the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same MS1847 deadlock. For a wood door, the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is made for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
13) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug rated for commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It's built to Corbin Russwin's commercial hardware standards and is used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, government buildings, warehouses and multi-tenant residential properties. It is the OEM part, so fit and finish stay consistent with the original cylinder.
14) Does a 5-pin cylinder core give the same key control as the Corbin Russwin 253K67?
The 253K67 252 uses a 7-pin tumbler design with a dedicated Corbin Russwin keyway for key control in commercial locking applications. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, a shorter pin stack in the Standard and Premium Cores family. Where higher pin counts are wanted in a core format, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core with 7 pins in brass, 150 Series.
