Corbin Russwin 293K00 59A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 293K00 plug work in my 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder?
No. This plug is built for the 2-1/4 inch mortise cylinder format, which is a long-body cylinder used on thicker doors and deeper trim. A 1-1/8 inch housing takes a shorter plug. Measure the housing length before ordering.
2) What does the 59A1 keyway mean for keying this into my existing system?
59A1 is a Corbin Russwin proprietary keyway, so the plug only accepts keys cut on 59A1 blanks and will only interchange with cylinders already in a 59A1 system. If the rest of your building runs a different Corbin Russwin section, this plug won't key alike with them. Match the keyway stamped on your existing cylinders first.
3) I need a whole mortise cylinder, not a plug. What should I look at instead?
For a complete mortise cylinder, the Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin Grade 1 mortise cylinder. If your opening is actually a rim device rather than a mortise lock, the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are 6-pin rim cylinders differing by tailpiece cam orientation, vertical on the 20-021 and horizontal on the 20-022. None of those will key alike with a Corbin Russwin 59A1 system.
4) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just a plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 293K00?
The Corbin Russwin 293K00 is a 7-pin plug, a replacement cylinder component meant to go into a compatible Corbin Russwin 2-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housing, so it is not a finished cylinder on its own. For a complete mortise cylinder, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security in the 4036 Series, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway. Both arrive as assembled cylinders; the 293K00 only serves an existing housing.
5) We rekey often and want cores we can swap without disassembling the cylinder. What is the alternative to the 293K00 plug?
The 293K00 is a pinned plug that has to be installed inside a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder housing, so rekeying means working the cylinder itself. If you want a pull-and-replace approach, interchangeable cores are the different path: the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core with 7 pins in brass, also 150 Series, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. Those systems change keying by swapping the core rather than repinning a plug.
6) Is a rim cylinder an acceptable substitute for the Corbin Russwin 293K00?
No. The 293K00 is a 7-pin plug for a 2-1/4 inch mortise cylinder, which threads into a mortise lock case. Rim cylinders mount through the door and drive a tailpiece into rim-style hardware such as exit devices. Rim options include the Schlage 20-021 six-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam, plus the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder at 1-5/32 inch diameter. None of those will serve a mortise housing, so confirm which prep the door has before ordering.
7) The cylinder I am replacing is in a key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock, not a mortise case. What do I use?
The Corbin Russwin 293K00 is a mortise cylinder plug and will not fit key-in-knob or key-in-lever housings. For those, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks.
8) Does the 293K00 come keyed, or do I have to pin it myself?
Plan on pinning it. The 293K00 is sold as a 7-pin plug component in the 59A1 keyway, not as a keyed-and-carded cylinder, so a locksmith sets the pinning to your existing key change or master system. That's the point of buying the plug rather than a complete cylinder.
9) Is a 7-pin plug worth it over a 6-pin for a commercial building?
The extra chamber is about key control more than anything. A 7-pin plug gives more usable key changes and deeper master keying room, and Corbin Russwin's restricted 59A1 section limits who can cut a blank. For an office, school, hospital or multi-tenant property standardizing on one system, that matters more than the pick resistance itself. Lower-security or single-door work is fine on a 6-pin, like the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in a Schlage C keyway.
10) Can I use this instead of an interchangeable core setup?
No, different systems entirely. The 293K00 is a conventional pinned plug that a locksmith services in the shop. If you want cores your own staff can swap without disassembling the lock, look at an interchangeable core line instead, such as the BEST 1CB 150 Series core or the 7-pin drill resistant BEST 1CDF, or the Schlage 20-057 full size interchangeable core rim cylinder. Those are a facility-wide decision, not a per-door one.
11) Will the Corbin Russwin 293K00 work on an Adams Rite aluminum storefront deadlock?
The 293K00 is a plug component only, so it needs a Corbin Russwin 2-1/4 inch mortise housing to be usable at all. For Adams Rite storefront hardware, the parts built for it are the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws, both designed for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, while the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch. Choose by the lock case in the door.
12) I only need 5 pins, not 7. What is the simpler option compared with the 293K00?
The Corbin Russwin 293K00 uses a 7-pin tumbler arrangement in the 59A1 keyway for added key control over standard 5- and 6-pin cylinders. If your system is built around fewer pins, the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a Grade 1 five-pin unit. Pin count has to match the keying system the building already uses, so verify with your existing key bitting before switching.
13) Can I use the Corbin Russwin 293K00 on a residential deadbolt or handleset?
No. The 293K00 is a commercial mortise cylinder plug in the Corbin Russwin 59A1 keyway, sold in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Residential deadbolts and handlesets take different cylinders, 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 Emtek CY4 cylinder.
14) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 293K00 plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the cylinder ring and lock trim already on the door, since the plug face is the part that shows through the collar.
15) Is the 293K00 rated for heavy-traffic commercial doors?
It's a commercial-duty part. Corbin Russwin lists the 293K00 as a genuine OEM cylinder component for commercial use, with typical applications in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, retail, warehouses and multi-tenant residential. It is not marketed as a residential part.
16) What retrofits an Arrow JL interconnected lock if the 293K00 will not?
The Corbin Russwin 293K00 is a 7-pin mortise plug for Corbin Russwin housings, so it is not a retrofit for another manufacturer's interconnected lock. The Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and also serves as the outside cylinder on Emtek handlesets and deadbolts.
