Corbin Russwin 487K13 57C1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which keyway and finish choices are there on the 487K13 cylinder plug?
Two keyway options, C1 and C2, and two finishes, 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Both keyways are offered in both finishes across every mortise length from 1-1/4 to 2 inches. Pick the keyway that matches the key blanks your system already uses, or your new keys will not enter the plug.
2) If I need a complete mortise cylinder instead of just a replacement plug, what should I order?
The Corbin Russwin 487K13 57C1 is a replacement plug only, supplied for rebuilding an existing mortise cylinder housing. If the whole cylinder needs to be replaced, a complete mortise cylinder such as the Adams Rite 4036 five-pin mortise cylinder, a Grade 1 unit in the 4036 Series, or the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder with Schlage C keyway in 1-1/8 inch 6-pin form, is the item to order instead. Those ship as assembled cylinders rather than as a plug for an existing shell.
3) Is a Schlage C keyway cylinder interchangeable with the 487K13 57C keyway plug?
No. The 487K13 57C1 plug is machined for the Corbin Russwin 57C keyway and accepts 57C key blanks, with C1 and C2 keyway options. Cylinders cut for the Schlage C keyway, such as the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder with Schlage C keyway or the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core in C keyway and 643E aged bronze, take a different blank and cannot be keyed into a 57C system.
4) We want to standardize on interchangeable cores rather than rekeying plugs. What is the alternative to the 487K13?
The 487K13 57C1 supports rekeying by replacing the plug inside a conventional mortise cylinder. A facility moving to core swaps would instead use an interchangeable core platform, such as the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core, the BEST 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core, or the Schlage 20-057 six-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam. Those let a core be pulled with a control key rather than disassembling the cylinder.
5) Does the 487K13 plug come pinned and with keys?
It is supplied as a plug component for a locksmith to pin and key. Corbin Russwin sells it as a cylinder repair part, so the pins, springs and cut keys are set up during the rekey. If you want a cylinder that arrives keyed with cut keys, a complete unit such as the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder, which is listed with two keys, is a different kind of purchase.
6) Can I use this plug to convert a Corbin Russwin cylinder to a different keyway?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. Swapping the plug is how you change a mortise cylinder from one keyway to another without replacing the shell, so a cylinder can be brought onto a different master key system. Order the plug in the keyway your system runs, C1 or C2, and in the same length as the existing cylinder.
7) I manage a commercial building with Corbin Russwin mortise locks. Is this the right part to standardize rekeys?
For openings already fitted with Corbin Russwin mortise cylinders, yes. The 487K13 is a genuine Corbin Russwin cylinder part built for commercial use, so buying one keyway and one finish across a site keeps every rekeyed cylinder on the same key system and the same look. Common in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings and multi-tenant residential.
8) Will the 487K13 plug work in a key-in-knob or key-in-lever lock?
No. The 487K13 57C1 plug is machined for mortise cylinder housings. Knob and lever locks take a different cylinder body, such as the Kaba Ilco 1539 key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder, or the Falcon A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder with a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys.
9) Can a rim cylinder be used in place of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 plug?
No. The 487K13 57C1 is a plug for mortise-type cylinder housings, while rim cylinders mount behind the door face and drive a tailpiece. Rim products such as the Schlage 20-021 six-pin rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam or the Schlage 20-022 with horizontal tailpiece cam serve rim-mounted exit devices and are a different cylinder format, not a substitute for a mortise plug.
10) I have a deadbolt that needs a new cylinder, not a mortise lock. What replaces it?
The Corbin Russwin 487K13 57C1 plug is for mortise cylinder applications and will not serve a deadbolt. Deadbolt-function cylinders include the Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, both listed with a deadbolt function, along with the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts.
11) For an aluminum storefront door, is the 487K13 the right cylinder part?
The 487K13 57C1 is a mortise cylinder plug for commercial mortise lock cylinders and is ordered in mortise lengths from 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch. Narrow-stile storefront openings typically use Adams Rite hardware instead: the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the Adams Rite 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both for the MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch, while the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch.
12) How does the 7-pin 487K13 plug compare with 5-pin and 6-pin cylinder options?
The Corbin Russwin 487K13 57C1 is a 7-pin X Class plug cut for the 57C keyway, offered in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome with C1 and C2 keyway variants. Comparable cylinders run shorter pin stacks: the BEST 1C standard 5-pin cylinder core and the Adams Rite 4036 five-pin mortise cylinder are 5-pin, while the Detex MC65 and the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder are 6-pin. Pin count determines key bitting depth positions and which keying system the part can join.
13) I need a non-functioning cylinder for a pull-side trim. Does the 487K13 cover that?
No. The 487K13 57C1 is a keyed 7-pin plug intended to restore key control in a working mortise cylinder. For a blank, non-keying fitting, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the item built for that purpose.
14) What should I use for a residential handleset or Emtek deadbolt instead of the 487K13?
The Corbin Russwin 487K13 57C1 is designated a commercial part for commercial mortise lock cylinders. For residential-style handlesets and deadbolts, the Emtek CY4 cylinder, the Medeco 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with Emtek tailpiece, the Medeco 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, and the Medeco 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts are the fits.
