Corbin Russwin 293K01 59A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just a plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 293K01?
The 293K01 is a 7-pin plug component for 2-1/2 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assemblies, so it is meant to go into an existing housing during rekeying or restoration. When a whole mortise cylinder is needed, the Adams Rite 4036 is a complete mortise cylinder with five-pin security, listed as Grade 1 in the 4036 Series, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway. Those are assembled cylinders, not plugs, and they carry their own keyways rather than the Corbin Russwin 59A1.
2) Is a BEST interchangeable core an equivalent to the Corbin Russwin 293K01 7-pin plug?
No. The 293K01 is a 7-pin plug that installs inside a Corbin Russwin 2-1/2 inch mortise cylinder and keys to the 59A1 keyway. The BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core; both are removable cores that drop into BEST-prep housings rather than plugs for a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder. The BEST Peaks 1CB is likewise a 150 Series interchangeable core. Pin count alone does not make them interchangeable with the 293K01.
3) My exit device takes a rim cylinder, not a mortise cylinder. What do I use in place of the Corbin Russwin 293K01?
The 293K01 is a plug for 2-1/2 inch mortise cylinder housings, which thread into a mortise lock case and will not serve a rim device. For rim applications, the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys, and the Schlage 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. If the facility is standardized on full size interchangeable core, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Match the cam orientation to the device you have.
4) Why would I use a 7-pin plug instead of a 6-pin in a commercial building?
Seven pin chambers give more key combinations and more room to build masterkey levels than a 5- or 6-pin cylinder, which matters when you're keying a whole facility with grand master, master, and change keys. Most mortise cylinders in the field are 6-pin, like the Detex MC65, so if your Corbin Russwin system was set up 7-pin you need to stay 7-pin to keep the keying intact.
5) Can a locksmith use this to rekey a Corbin Russwin cylinder without replacing the whole lock?
That's the intended use. Swapping the plug lets you re-pin or change keying on an existing 2-1/2 inch mortise cylinder assembly, so the lock body, trim, and prep in the door stay untouched. It's a maintenance and restoration part, not a new-install item.
6) I need an interchangeable core instead of a fixed plug. What should I look at?
The 293K01 is a fixed 7-pin plug for a conventional Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder, so it won't give you core-swap capability. For an interchangeable core setup, look at the BEST 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin interchangeable core in the 150 Series, the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series core, or Schlage's 20-057 full size interchangeable core rim cylinder.
7) Can I put this plug in a rim cylinder or a key-in-knob cylinder?
No. It's a mortise cylinder plug sized for the 2-1/2 inch mortise format, and rim and key-in-lever cylinders use different bodies. For rim work, Schlage's 20-021 (vertical tailpiece cam) and 20-022 (horizontal cam) 6-pin rim cylinders are the parts to look at; for key-in-lever, Kaba Ilco's 1539 universal knob/lever cylinder covers those.
8) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 293K01 and a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder?
The 293K01 is a 7-pin mortise cylinder plug in the 59A1 keyway, used to restore keying in a 2-1/2 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder. Key-in-knob and key-in-lever cylinders are a different body type entirely: the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever 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 the RU/T Series 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys. Those fit the knob or lever itself, not a mortise cylinder housing.
9) I need a cylinder for a deadbolt or handleset, not a mortise lock. Which options cover that instead of the Corbin Russwin 293K01?
The 293K01 is a mortise cylinder plug and belongs in a 2-1/2 inch Corbin Russwin mortise housing. For deadbolt and handleset work, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder listed with a deadbolt function, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Choose by the lock brand the cylinder has to retrofit.
10) Can the Corbin Russwin 293K01 be used in an Adams Rite cylinder pull?
No. The 293K01 is a 7-pin plug matched to Corbin Russwin 2-1/2 inch mortise cylinders and the 59A1 keyway. Adams Rite cylinder pulls are separate assemblies tied to specific Adams Rite locks: the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch. Those are five-pin pulls, so a 7-pin Corbin Russwin plug is not the part for them.
11) We are standardizing a facility on interchangeable core so cores can be swapped without pulling the cylinder. How does that compare to using the Corbin Russwin 293K01?
The 293K01 is a replacement plug for existing Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assemblies in the 59A1 keyway, so it keeps a facility already built on Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders on its own key system. An interchangeable core program works differently: the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core, the BEST 1CDF is a patented drill resistant 7-pin brass interchangeable core in the same 150 Series, and on the Schlage side the 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish. Those let a core be pulled with a control key, while the 293K01 route rebuilds the cylinder you already have.
12) What looks like a substitute for the Corbin Russwin 293K01 but will not key anything?
The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder, at 1-5/32 inch diameter, resembles a working cylinder but is a dummy used for appearance and trim, so it does not accept keying the way the 293K01 7-pin plug does. The Emtek CY4 cylinder, sold each in the Parts range, is likewise an Emtek-specific part rather than a Corbin Russwin mortise plug in the 59A1 keyway. For rekeying a Corbin Russwin 2-1/2 inch mortise cylinder, the 293K01 is the plug to specify.
13) Is a 5-pin cylinder an acceptable alternative to the Corbin Russwin 293K01 7-pin plug?
They differ in pin count and therefore in key combination capacity. The 293K01 uses a seven-pin tumbler design, which the specification describes as giving greater key combination capacity than standard 5- or 6-pin cylinders. Among 5-pin options, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder carries five-pin security and is listed Grade 1, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core. Those are separate cylinder bodies and cores with their own keyways, while the 293K01 keeps an existing Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder on the 59A1 system.
14) What finishes does the 293K01 7-pin plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the cylinder collar and lock trim already on the opening, since the plug face is visible at the keyway.
15) Is the 293K01 suitable for apartment and office door hardware, or is it residential grade?
It's a commercial part, used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, multi-tenant residential, retail, and warehouses. The 59A1 keyway is proprietary to Corbin Russwin, which gives a property manager control over key duplication across a building.
16) Does the Corbin Russwin 293K01 come in a chrome finish, or do I need a different brand for that?
No need to change brands. The 293K01 7-pin mortise plug is offered in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome, so a chrome-toned trim scheme is covered within the same Corbin Russwin part and the same 59A1 keyway. By contrast, the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is listed in 643E Aged Bronze, a darker tone, and is a different cylinder type in the C keyway.
