Corbin Russwin 253K67 N1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 253K67 cylinder plug 6-pin or 7-pin?
Seven pin. The 253K67 uses a 7-pin tumbler configuration, which is what Corbin Russwin 7-pin systems need for their key control and masterkeying depth. If your building is pinned on a 6-pin Corbin Russwin system, this plug is the wrong depth of chamber for it.
2) If a rim exit device needs a complete new rim cylinder rather than a replacement plug, what are the alternatives to the Corbin Russwin 253K67?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-N1 is a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug - a replacement component for an existing Corbin Russwin rim cylinder assembly, not a complete cylinder. When the whole cylinder has to be replaced, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder supplied with a vertical tailpiece cam and 2 keys, and the Schlage Commercial 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys. Both are complete rim cylinders rather than plugs, and both are on the Schlage keying platform rather than the Corbin Russwin N keyway.
3) What is the difference between a Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug and an interchangeable core?
The 253K67-N1 is a keyed plug for a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinder, replaced inside the existing cylinder housing by a locksmith. An interchangeable core is pulled and swapped as a unit with a control key: the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and 2 keys, the Schlage 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish, and BEST offers small format cores such as the 1C Series 5-pin core and the 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core. Choose the plug route to stay inside an existing Corbin Russwin N keyway system; choose a core platform if you want tool-free rekeying at the door.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K67 a substitute for a mortise cylinder?
No. The 253K67-N1 is configured for rim cylinder use, suited to rim-mounted exit devices and surface-applied locking hardware. A mortise cylinder threads into a mortise lock body and is a different part: examples include the Adams Rite 4036 Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security and a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the Detex MC65 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Confirm whether the opening takes a rim or mortise cylinder before ordering.
5) Can I use the 253K67 plug on rim exit device cylinders?
Yes. It is configured for rim cylinder use, which covers rim-mounted exit devices and surface-applied locking hardware running Corbin Russwin 3000 Series rim cylinders. It does not fit mortise cylinders or key-in-knob cylinders.
6) I need a complete rim cylinder, not a Corbin Russwin plug. What else do you carry?
If you want a full rim cylinder rather than a replacement plug, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the 20-022 is the same cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Pick the cam orientation your exit device requires. For an interchangeable core setup instead, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. None of these will key into a Corbin Russwin N keyway system, so they suit a standalone opening or a Schlage-keyed building.
7) Can a 7-pin Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug be replaced with a 5-pin or 6-pin cylinder?
The 253K67-N1 uses a 7-pin tumbler configuration in the N keyway for key control in a Corbin Russwin 3000 Series system, and the pin count has to match the master key system it belongs to. Lower pin counts exist on other platforms - the BEST 1C Series core is a standard 5-pin core, the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders are 6-pin, and the Falcon A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder is a 6-pin G keyway unit keyed different with 2 cut keys - but none of those will key to an existing Corbin Russwin N keyway 7-pin system.
8) For a facility standardizing on drill-resistant patented key control, what is the option next to a Corbin Russwin 253K67 plug?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-N1 provides key control through a 7-pin tumbler in the N keyway within an existing 3000 Series rim cylinder system, and it comes in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. If the standard is being rebuilt around patented, drill-resistant hardware instead, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core, 7-pin, brass, 150 Series, and the BEST Peaks 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder. Those move the facility to a BEST core platform rather than keying into the Corbin Russwin system.
9) Is there a non-keyed alternative if a rim cylinder opening only needs to be filled?
The Corbin Russwin 253K67-N1 is a keyed 7-pin plug in the N keyway, intended to restore working key control in a 3000 Series rim cylinder. Where an opening only needs the hole covered with no key function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the non-keyed part for that job.
10) Will the Corbin Russwin 253K67 work in a residential handleset or deadbolt?
No. The 253K67-N1 is a commercial rim cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin 3000 Series assemblies used with rim exit devices and surface-applied locking hardware. Residential handlesets and deadbolts take purpose-built retrofit cylinders instead, such as the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with Emtek tailpiece, or the Medeco 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders.
11) What is the alternative to the Corbin Russwin 253K67 for a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder?
The 253K67-N1 is a rim cylinder plug and does not fit knob or lever lock bodies. For those, Kaba Ilco offers replacement cylinders including the 1539 Series key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 Series knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder; the 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. Falcon's A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys.
12) Is this part suitable for a house or only commercial buildings?
It is a commercial-grade component, built for high-traffic commercial door hardware: offices, schools, healthcare, retail, government buildings, warehouses and multi-tenant residential. Locksmiths and facility maintenance crews are the intended buyers, not homeowners with a residential deadbolt.
