Corbin Russwin 253K67 L1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K67 a complete rim cylinder or just the plug?
It is the cylinder plug only, sold as a replacement component for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders. If the housing, cam, and screws on the door are damaged or missing, you need a complete rim cylinder instead. Schlage's 20-021 and 20-022 are complete 6-pin rim cylinders (vertical and horizontal tailpiece cam respectively) if you are replacing the whole unit rather than rebuilding a Corbin Russwin one.
2) Which Corbin Russwin L keyways can I order the 253K67 plug in?
Four keyways in the L family: L1, L2, L3 and L4. Pick the one that matches the existing Corbin Russwin keying system on the building, since a plug in the wrong keyway will not accept your keys even though it drops into the same housing.
3) Can I use this plug to rekey a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder?
No. The 253K67 is built for 3000 Series rim cylinders, which use a different plug length and cam arrangement than a mortise cylinder. For a mortise application you need a mortise cylinder or its matching plug, not this part.
4) If the Corbin Russwin 253K67 L1 plug will not work because the whole rim cylinder needs replacing, what complete rim cylinder can be used instead?
The 253K67 L1 is a cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders, so it only helps when the cylinder housing stays in the door. When the entire rim cylinder is being swapped out, Schlage Commercial offers complete 6-pin rim cylinders: the 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam and two keys. Choose between them by the cam orientation the exit device or rim lock body requires.
5) For a facility that wants keying changes made without repinning, what alternative is there to a keyed plug like the 253K67 L1?
A full-size interchangeable core setup lets the core be pulled and swapped with a control key rather than repinned. Schlage's 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam supplied with two keys, and the 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish. The 253K67 L1 takes the other approach: a 7-pin plug factory-configured in the L keyway so it folds into an existing Corbin Russwin master key program.
6) Do I get keys with the 253K67 plug?
It is a bare cylinder plug, a serviceable component for a locksmith to pin to your existing system, not a keyed assembly. If you want a cylinder that arrives cut and keyed, a complete unit is the better buy: the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders each ship with two keys.
7) What are my options if the building is not on a Corbin Russwin keyway?
This plug only serves a Corbin Russwin L-keyway system. If the facility keys to something else, look at a complete cylinder in that system instead: Schlage's 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and BEST's 1CDF is a 7-pin drill resistant interchangeable core in the 150 Series. Interchangeable core also lets you swap keying without pulling the cylinder apart.
8) Is a BEST interchangeable core the same thing as the Corbin Russwin 253K67 L1 plug?
No. The 253K67 L1 is a plug that goes inside a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder housing and is keyed in the L keyway family. A BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core or a BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core is a removable core that drops into BEST-prepped housings, and the 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented 7-pin brass core in the 150 Series. Those cores serve BEST small-format housings, not a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder.
9) I need a cylinder for a mortise lock, not a rim application. What should I look at instead of the 253K67 L1?
The 253K67 L1 is configured for rim-style locking applications, so a mortise lock body needs a mortise cylinder. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Confirm the cam and cylinder length your mortise lock body calls for before ordering.
10) Can the 253K67 L1 be used on a key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock?
No. The 253K67 L1 is a plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders. Key-in-lever and key-in-knob locks take a different cylinder format: 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, and Kaba Ilco offers the 1539 Series key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, the 1579 Series knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder.
11) What rim cylinder should I use for a residential handleset or deadbolt rather than the Corbin Russwin 253K67 L1?
The 253K67 L1 is a commercial component for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders. For handleset and deadbolt retrofits, Medeco lists rim-type lazy motion cylinders: 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, and the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Match the tailpiece to the lock brand you are retrofitting.
12) Does the 253K67 L1 come with keys the way a complete cylinder assembly does?
The 253K67 L1 is a replacement cylinder plug for the Corbin Russwin 3000 Series platform, factory-configured in the L keyway so a locksmith pins and keys it into an existing Corbin Russwin system. Complete assemblies are the ones that arrive pre-keyed: the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders are each supplied with two keys, and the Falcon A23161-05 G ships keyed different with two cut keys. If the job needs keys in the box rather than shop keying, look at a complete cylinder instead of a plug.
13) I need a rim cylinder that does not operate anything, just fills the hole. Is the 253K67 L1 right?
No. The 253K67 L1 is a functional 7-pin keyed plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders. For a non-operating fill, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the item built for that purpose.
14) For an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlock, is the 253K67 L1 the cylinder to order?
The 253K67 L1 is a plug for a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder and is not built around Adams Rite deadlock hardware. Adams Rite cylinder pulls are made for those systems: the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock/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/deadlatch.
15) Is this rim cylinder plug suitable for apartment and office buildings, or is it residential hardware?
It is commercial-grade cylinder hardware, used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, multi-tenant residential and retail. Property managers standardizing a building on one Corbin Russwin keyway typically stock plugs in a single keyway and finish so any cylinder can be rebuilt to the master key system in house.
16) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 253K67 L1 and a deadbolt cylinder like the Kaba Ilco 1549?
The 253K67 L1 is a 7-pin plug for a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder used in rim-style locking applications. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder with a deadbolt function, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. Those are sized and tailpieced for deadbolt bodies, so they are not interchangeable with a 3000 Series rim plug.
