Corbin Russwin 253K67 59A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which keyway do I need to order on the Corbin Russwin 253K67 rim plug?
Two keyway choices are offered, A1 and A2, within the 59A family. Pick the one that matches the keys already cut for the building, since a plug in the wrong keyway will not accept your existing blanks. Locksmiths keying a whole facility should standardize on one of the two rather than mixing them across openings.
2) Is this Corbin Russwin plug an interchangeable core?
No. The 253K67-59A1 is a conventional keyed plug for a 3000 Series rim cylinder, not a small format or full size interchangeable core, so it cannot be pulled with a control key. If your facility runs on interchangeable cores, look at a BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, the 7-pin BEST 1CDF, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder instead.
3) Can I use this on a mortise lock or a key-in-lever lockset?
No. This plug is configured for rim cylinder use, the type of cylinder used on rim exit devices and surface-mounted locks. For a mortise application look at a mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65 or the Adams Rite 4036; for a key-in-lever body, a lever cylinder like the Falcon A23161-05 G or a Kaba Ilco 1539 universal knob/lever cylinder is the right part.
4) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 rim cylinder plug and a complete rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-021?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 is a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug - the keyed plug component that goes into a compatible Corbin Russwin rim cylinder assembly, in a 7-pin, 59A keyway configuration. The Schlage 20-021 is a complete 6-pin rim cylinder supplied with a vertical tailpiece cam and 2 keys, so it drops into a rim device without needing an existing housing. If the cylinder body on the door is sound and only the keyed plug needs to change, the 253K67 is the part; if the whole cylinder is being replaced, a complete rim cylinder is the right choice.
5) If the rim device needs a horizontal cam instead of a vertical one, what rim cylinder should I order?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 is a plug for a 3000 Series rim cylinder assembly and does not itself set the cam orientation. If you are buying a complete rim cylinder and the exit device requires a horizontal tailpiece cam, the Schlage 20-022 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys; the Schlage 20-021 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam.
6) We want to move to interchangeable cores instead of rekeying plugs. What are the options?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 is a conventional 7-pin plug for a 3000 Series rim cylinder, so rekeying means pinning the plug itself. For a facility standardizing on removable cores, the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Those let maintenance swap a core by hand rather than disassembling the cylinder.
7) Will the Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 work in a mortise lock?
No. The 253K67-59A1 is configured as a rim cylinder plug for rim-mounted locking devices and Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies. For a mortise prep, look at a mortise cylinder instead - the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway.
8) We have a key-in-lever lock, not a rim device. Which cylinder do we need?
Not the 253K67-59A1 - that is a rim cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies. For key-in-knob or key-in-lever bodies, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys.
9) Do I need to have this plug keyed before it will work?
Yes, it has to be pinned and keyed to your system. The plug ships as a replacement component in the 59A keyway; a locksmith loads the pin stack to match your existing key bitting or a new change key. Buyers who want a cylinder that arrives already keyed with cut keys should look at something like the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder, which comes with two keys.
10) Is a 5-pin cylinder an acceptable substitute for the 7-pin 253K67-59A1?
Only if your keying system allows it. The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 uses a 7-pin tumbler arrangement for key control in commercial systems, and a 7-pin master key system will not accept a 5-pin plug. Simpler 5-pin options in rim format include the Medeco 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder and the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin core. Those are appropriate where the opening is keyed on its own, not tied to an existing 7-pin Corbin Russwin system.
11) The rim opening only needs to look keyed, not operate. Is there a cheaper part than a keyed plug?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 is a functioning 7-pin keyed plug for a 3000 Series rim cylinder. Where an opening needs a cylinder face for appearance or to fill a prep but no keyed operation, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter serves that purpose instead.
12) Can the 253K67-59A1 be used on an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlock?
No. The 253K67-59A1 is a rim cylinder plug built for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder assemblies. Adams Rite narrow stile deadlocks take their own cylinder hardware: the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
13) Is the 253K67-59A1 a match for a residential deadbolt or handleset?
It is not intended for that use. The 253K67-59A1 is a commercial part, a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug on the Corbin Russwin keying system. Residential deadbolt and handleset retrofits are served by cylinders built for those bodies, such as the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, and the Emtek CY4 cylinder.
14) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug suitable for a high-traffic commercial building?
Yes. It is a commercial-grade part, used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, government buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential. The 7-pin configuration is the piece that matters for a managed property: more pins means tighter key control across a master keyed system.
15) Which finishes does the Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug come in compared with the Schlage FSIC rim options?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-59A1 plug is offered in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, in A1 and A2 keyway variants. Among interchangeable core alternatives, the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in the C keyway supplied in 643E aged bronze, so matching an existing satin chrome or satin brass trim set is a point to confirm before substituting.
