Corbin Russwin 487K13 27 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What do I need to specify when ordering a Corbin Russwin 487K13 mortise cylinder plug?
Three things decide the part: keyway, mortise length, and finish. Keyway choices are 27, 67, 77, 97, and 99. Mortise lengths run 1-1/4, 1-3/8, 1-1/2, 1-3/4, and 2 inches. Finish is either 606 Satin Brass or 626 Satin Chrome. Match the keyway to the key section already in your system and the length to the cylinder body you are servicing.
2) Will this plug work in my existing Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder?
It is built as a direct-fit plug for compatible Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders, so it drops into a Corbin Russwin mortise housing when the keyway and mortise length match what you pull out. Two things to check on the bench: the cylinder must be an X Class 7-pin cylinder, and the length must be the same as the original (1-1/4, 1-3/8, 1-1/2, 1-3/4, or 2 inches). It is not a fit for another brand's mortise cylinder.
3) I need a complete mortise cylinder, not just a plug. What should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13?
The 487K13 is a replacement cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders, so it goes into an existing cylinder shell rather than replacing the whole cylinder. If you need a complete mortise cylinder assembly, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Both are whole cylinders; neither carries a Corbin Russwin keyway, so they will key to their own systems rather than to an existing Corbin Russwin masterkey system.
4) What does 7-Pin X Class mean on a Corbin Russwin cylinder plug?
Seven pin chambers instead of the more common six, running an X Class key section. The extra chamber gives more key differs and more depth for master keying, which is why it turns up in large institutional systems. The plug has to match your existing X Class key section, so an X Class system plug will not accept keys cut for a different Corbin Russwin section.
5) I need a rim cylinder, not a mortise plug. What should I be looking at instead?
A mortise plug like the 487K13 threads into a mortise housing and will not serve a rim device. For rim applications look at the Schlage Commercial 20-021 six-pin rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam, or the 20-022 with the horizontal cam; pick the cam orientation your exit device or rim lock requires. If your system uses full size interchangeable cores, the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam is the equivalent.
6) Is there a 7-pin interchangeable core alternative if I do not want to service loose plugs?
If you would rather swap a whole core than pin a plug into a mortise housing, the BEST 1CDF is a 7-pin patented interchangeable core in brass, 150 Series, with drill resistance. That is a different system architecture though: interchangeable cores need IC housings in the lock, so it is a change of platform rather than a drop-in for a Corbin Russwin X Class mortise cylinder. The 487K13 plug is the part that keeps the existing Corbin Russwin cylinders in service.
7) Is a rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-021 a substitute for the 487K13 mortise plug?
No. The 487K13 is a seven-pin plug for Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders, which thread into a mortise lock body. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are six-pin rim cylinders, differing from each other by vertical versus horizontal tailpiece cam, and they mount behind a rim exit device or rim deadlock. The mounting method, not just the pinning, is different, so a rim cylinder will not go where a mortise cylinder plug is needed.
8) We want to move away from fixed keyed cylinders to interchangeable cores. What are the options compared with the Corbin Russwin 487K13?
The 487K13 is a pinned plug that stays in the mortise cylinder and is rekeyed at the bench. If you want cores you can swap with a control key, the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented seven-pin interchangeable core in brass, and the Schlage 20-057 is a six-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Moving to interchangeable core means changing the housing as well, not just the plug, and it starts a separate keying system from your Corbin Russwin keyways.
9) Our existing system is 6-pin. Is there a lower pin count alternative to the 487K13 7-pin plug?
The 487K13 is built as a seven-pin X Class plug, offered in keyways 27, 67, 77, 97 and 99. If your facility keys to six or five pins on other brands, the Detex MC65 is a six-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, the Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin mortise cylinder, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard five-pin cylinder core. Those are separate key systems from Corbin Russwin X Class, so mixing them means maintaining more than one keyway family.
10) I have a key-in-lever lock, not a mortise lock. What takes the place of the 487K13 there?
The 487K13 serves mortise cylinder assemblies only. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever bodies, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder with a six-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys. For a deadbolt, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder.
11) Can I use the 487K13 on an aluminum storefront deadlock, or do I need something else?
The 487K13 is a plug for Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders and assumes a mortise cylinder is already in the lock. For Adams Rite storefront deadlocks, the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate and the 4025 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull mounts with through-screws, both for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, while the 4026 five-pin cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch. Those are pull-and-cylinder units matched to a specific lock body rather than a replacement plug.
12) Which finish should I pick to match the other cylinders in my building?
Two finishes are offered: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. 626 satin chrome is the common commercial default and will match most brushed chrome or satin nickel-looking mortise trim already installed; 606 is the brass equivalent for openings finished in satin brass. Since the plug face is what shows through the cylinder collar, pick to match the collar and lock trim, not the door.
13) Is this cylinder plug suitable for commercial and institutional door hardware, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 487K13 plug is built for commercial mortise lock service work, the kind of rekeying and cylinder maintenance done in offices, schools, hospitals, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential buildings running commercial mortise hardware. For an MRO shop standardizing on one keyway, ordering the same keyway number across all five mortise lengths keeps the system consistent on doors with different cylinder depths.
14) Is the BEST 12E dummy rim cylinder an economical stand-in for the 487K13?
No, they do different jobs. The 487K13 is a keyed seven-pin plug that restores working key control in a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder. The BEST 12E is a dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter, used to fill a cylinder hole or complete an appearance where no key operation is wanted. If the opening needs to lock and unlock by key, a dummy is not a substitute.
15) We are replacing residential-style handleset and deadbolt cylinders as well as mortise ones. Does the 487K13 cover those?
No. The 487K13 is a commercial mortise cylinder part. For handleset and deadbolt retrofits, Medeco offers the 1012040, a six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts; the 1065140, a five-pin retrofit for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders; the 1065244, a five-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece; and the 1075127, a five-pin lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Emtek also lists the CY4 cylinder sold each.
16) I need satin chrome hardware across the building. How does the 487K13 finish range compare with the FSIC options?
The 487K13 plug comes in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, across mortise lengths from 1-1/4 inch through 2 inch. Among the interchangeable core alternatives, the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway supplied in 643E aged bronze, which is a darker finish than either 487K13 option. If the visible finish has to match satin chrome trim, the 626 plug keeps that match.
