Corbin Russwin 487K13 57A2 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 487K13 plug work in my Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder if my system uses a different keyway?
No. The plug is cut to the 57A2 keyway, so it only accepts 57A2 keys and only drops into a 57A2 system. A plug is keyway-specific by nature, so if your building is keyed on another Corbin Russwin section, this one won't take your keys. Match the keyway stamped on your existing key or cylinder before ordering.
2) Does the 487K13 fit a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder housing?
No. The 487K13 plug is built for the 1-1/4 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder format. Plug length follows housing length, so a 1-1/8 inch shell needs the plug made for that length. If you're working on a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder on a different brand of lock, something like the Detex MC65 is a complete 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway rather than a rebuild part.
3) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just a replacement plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13?
The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings - a replacement component, not a full cylinder. If the whole cylinder is being replaced, a complete mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65, a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway, or the Adams Rite 4036 five-pin mortise cylinder covers that. Both are assembled cylinders rather than plugs, so they will not carry the 57A2 keyway or preserve a Corbin Russwin X Class key system.
4) Is there an interchangeable core option instead of rekeying a fixed plug like the 487K13?
Yes, but it is a different cylinder architecture. The 487K13 is a fixed 7-pin plug that is rekeyed at the bench inside its 1-1/4 inch mortise housing. Interchangeable core products let you pull and swap the core with a control key instead: the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core, and the Schlage 20-057 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder are all core-swap designs. Moving to any of those means changing the cylinder housing and the key system, not just the plug.
5) Will a rim cylinder work in place of the 487K13 mortise plug?
No. The 487K13 is built for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings, which thread into the lock body. Rim cylinders such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam and the Schlage 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam mount through the door and drive a rim device by tailpiece, and the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder is 1-5/32 inch diameter. Those are a different mounting method entirely and will not seat in a mortise lock.
6) I need a cylinder for a knob or lever lock, not a mortise lock - what takes the place of the 487K13 there?
The 487K13 plug is sized for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinders and will not fit knob or lever hardware. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever bodies, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder cover those chassis, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is the knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, 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 two cut keys.
7) For an aluminum storefront deadlock, do I use the 487K13 or something else?
Use storefront-specific hardware. The 487K13 plug serves 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings in commercial mechanical locks. For Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull mounts with through-screws; for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch, the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is the wood door version.
8) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 487K13 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. Satin chrome is the usual match for brushed stainless and aluminum trim; satin brass for brass hardware.
9) What does 7-pin X Class mean on a Corbin Russwin cylinder plug?
Seven-pin means the plug is drilled for seven chambers instead of the common six, giving more possible key cuts and more room in a master key system. X Class is Corbin Russwin's security line, with added key control and pick resistance. Practically, it means this plug belongs in an X Class 7-pin system and needs 7-pin X Class keys and pinning, not standard 6-pin components.
10) Can I use the 487K13 plug in a rim cylinder or a key-in-knob cylinder?
No. This plug is dimensioned for a mortise cylinder shell. Rim and key-in-knob cylinders use different plug lengths and tailpiece arrangements. For rim work, Schlage's 20-021 (vertical tailpiece cam) and 20-022 (horizontal cam) are complete 6-pin rim cylinders; for key-in-knob or lever replacement, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder.
11) I manage a building keyed on Corbin Russwin X Class. Can I rekey a door with this instead of buying new cylinders?
Yes, that's the point of the part. Swapping in a 487K13 plug lets a locksmith return an existing 1-1/4 inch Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder to service on the 57A2 X Class system without replacing the whole lock or cylinder body. It keeps you inside your existing master key system rather than starting a parallel one.
12) What is the closest alternative if I want higher attack resistance than a standard 7-pin plug?
The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug, a security series Corbin Russwin builds for key control and pick resistance. If the specification calls for drill resistance and a patented key, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series. It matches the 7-pin count but is an interchangeable core in the BEST system rather than a fixed plug on the 57A2 keyway, so it is a system change rather than a drop-in.
13) Is a five-pin core a simpler substitute for the 487K13?
A five-pin core is a lower pin count and a different product form. The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug for a 1-1/4 inch mortise housing. The BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core is a 5-pin interchangeable core from the standard and premium core line. It is swapped by control key rather than pinned into a mortise cylinder body, and the two pin counts cannot share keying.
14) Does the 487K13 plug come with keys or pins?
The 487K13 is the plug itself. Pinning and key cutting are done to your system by whoever installs it, so plan on supplying top pins, bottom pins, springs and cut keys from your 57A2 X Class stock. If you'd rather have a factory-keyed assembly with keys in the box, a complete cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder ships with two keys, though it is a different keyway and cylinder type.
15) Is this part suitable for a house, or is it strictly commercial hardware?
It's commercial. The 487K13 is a component of Corbin Russwin commercial mortise lock cylinders, the kind found in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings and multi-tenant residential. Residential deadbolt and handleset work generally uses a different family of cylinders, such as the Medeco 1075127 rim-type lazy motion cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts.
16) Does the Corbin Russwin 487K13 finish selection match what other cylinder lines offer?
The 487K13 plug is offered in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Finish naming differs across lines - the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core, for example, is a C keyway core in 643E aged bronze. Finishes are not interchangeable between a plug and a complete core, so match the plug finish to the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder face.
