Corbin Russwin 487K13 27A2 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 27A2 keyway plug work with my existing Corbin Russwin keys?
Only if your system is keyed in 27A2. The 487K13 plug is cut for the 27A2 keyway profile within the Corbin Russwin keying system, so key blades from a different Corbin Russwin keyway will not enter it. Match the keyway stamped on your existing cylinders before ordering, since a plug in the wrong keyway cannot be re-pinned to accept another blade profile.
2) Is a 7-pin plug interchangeable with a 6-pin cylinder?
No. Pin count has to match the housing and the keying system. The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug, so it belongs in a 7-pin Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder chambered for it. A 6-pin cylinder needs a 6-pin plug. If your facility runs 6-pin, look at a complete six-pin cylinder instead, such as the Detex MC65 in Schlage C keyway.
3) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just the plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13?
The 487K13 is a replacement 7-pin X Class plug for 1-1/4 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder housings, so it only helps if you already have the housing and shell in the door. For a whole 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 cut to the Schlage C keyway. Both are full cylinders rather than plugs, and neither uses the Corbin Russwin 27A2 keyway, so keys from an existing 27A2 system will not operate them.
4) My opening uses a rim device, not a mortise lock. What cylinder do I use instead of the 487K13?
The 487K13 is a plug sized for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings, so it does not serve a rim application. For rim exit devices, the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal cam, each supplied with two keys; the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Choose the cam orientation your exit device requires.
5) Is an interchangeable core the same thing as the Corbin Russwin 487K13 plug?
No. The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug that goes inside a 1-1/4 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder, and swapping it is a bench operation on the cylinder. An interchangeable core such as the BEST 1CB in the 150 series, or the drill-resistant BEST 1CDF 7-pin brass core, is pulled and replaced with a control key while the housing stays in the door. The Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway. Those cores require IC-prepped housings; the 487K13 requires a conventional Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder.
6) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 487K13 plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the lock trim on the opening, since the plug face is the visible part once the cylinder is installed. 626 Satin Chrome is the usual choice on commercial openings running brushed chrome or stainless trim; 606 Satin Brass suits brass and bronze hardware.
7) What does X Class mean on a Corbin Russwin cylinder plug?
X Class is Corbin Russwin's restricted keyway security level. The 487K13 is built to X Class specifications for key control and pick resistance, which means keys are not duplicated on open-market blanks. That matters for schools, healthcare, and government buildings where unauthorized key copies are the main risk to a master key system.
8) Can I use this plug to re-key a mortise lock without replacing the whole cylinder?
That is what it is for. Swapping the plug lets you change the keying on a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder while leaving the shell and cam in the lock, which is faster than pulling and replacing complete cylinders across a building. The replacement plug approach keeps the housing and trim in place during re-keying and maintenance.
9) I am rekeying key-in-knob and key-in-lever locks, not mortise cylinders. Will the Corbin Russwin 487K13 work?
No. The 487K13 is a mortise cylinder plug in the 27A2 keyway, intended for conventional Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assemblies. For knob and lever cylinders, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. 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.
10) Is there a simpler five-pin alternative to the 7-pin X Class 487K13 for a lower-security opening?
The 487K13 is built to 7-pin X Class specification for enhanced key control and pick resistance. Where that level of key control is not required, five-pin cylinders in the set include the Adams Rite 4036 Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder and the BEST 1C standard 5-pin cylinder core. Those are complete cylinders or cores rather than plugs, so they replace the whole unit instead of dropping into an existing Corbin Russwin mortise housing.
11) I am keying an Adams Rite MS1847 storefront deadlock. Does the 487K13 plug fit that?
The 487K13 is a Corbin Russwin plug for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings, so it is not the part for an Adams Rite storefront assembly. Adams Rite lists the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for use with the MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch; for wood door openings, the 4026 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull is intended for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
12) If drill resistance is a requirement for my facility, how does the 487K13 compare?
The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug engineered for enhanced key control and pick resistance in commercial applications. If drill resistance is specifically called out, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core, 7-pin brass, in the 150 series. The 1CDF is an interchangeable core requiring an IC-prepped housing, while the 487K13 is a plug that serves conventional Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders keyed to 27A2.
13) Is the 487K13 plug suitable for residential use or is it commercial only?
It is a commercial part. The 487K13 is built for commercial mortise lock installations, office buildings, retail, industrial and warehouse facilities, and multi-tenant residential properties. For a house with residential deadbolts and handlesets, a retrofit cylinder is the right category instead, such as the Medeco 1075127 five-pin rim type lazy motion cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, or the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder.
14) What is the difference between the 487K13 plug and a retrofit deadbolt or handleset cylinder like the Medeco 1075127?
The 487K13 is a commercial 7-pin mortise cylinder plug in the 27A2 keyway for Corbin Russwin mortise assemblies. The Medeco parts are complete retrofit cylinders for residential-style deadbolt and handleset hardware: the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. They are matched to specific lock bodies rather than to mortise cylinder housings.
15) I need a non-keyed filler for an unused cylinder hole. Does the 487K13 do that?
No. The 487K13 is a keyed 7-pin X Class plug in the 27A2 keyway, made to operate within a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder. For a hole that needs to be filled without key function, the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the dummy part in this group; note it is a rim format, not a 1-1/4 inch mortise plug.
