Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 487K13 plug fit my 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder?
No. The 487K13 is sized for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings. A 1-1/8 inch housing is a different length and the plug won't seat correctly. For a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder we carry, though it uses a Schlage C keyway rather than Corbin Russwin AL.
2) What does the AL designation on this Corbin Russwin plug mean for my keys?
AL is the keyway. The plug is cut for Corbin Russwin AL key blanks, so it only accepts keys made on that keyway and will only key into an existing system that is already AL. If your building is keyed on a different Corbin Russwin keyway, this plug won't integrate with it and you'd need the plug in your own keyway.
3) Is a 7-pin plug going to work in a building keyed on 6-pin cylinders?
Not as part of the same system. The 487K13 is a 7-pin X Class plug, so it needs 7-pin keys and 7-pin bitting in the master key system. X Class is Corbin Russwin's restricted key control platform, which means keys are controlled rather than freely duplicated. If your facility is standardized on 6-pin conventional cylinders, adding a 7-pin X Class plug gives you a standalone opening, not one that keys alike with the rest.
4) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just a replacement plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL?
The Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL is a 7-pin X Class plug supplied as a replacement part for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinders, so it is the internal plug and not a finished cylinder assembly. If the job needs a whole mortise cylinder, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder with a Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series rated Grade 1. Both are ordered as complete cylinders; the 487K13 AL is ordered when the existing housing stays in the door and only the plug is being replaced.
5) Is a rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-021 a substitute for the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL?
No. The 487K13 AL is a mortise cylinder plug sized for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings. The Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, and the 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Rim cylinders mount through the door face behind rim exit devices and drive a tailpiece; a mortise cylinder threads into the lock case and drives a cam. The two are different cylinder types and are not interchangeable.
6) The cylinder I am replacing is in a knob or lever, not a mortise lock. Does the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL fit?
No. The 487K13 AL plug is built for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder housings used in commercial mortise lock hardware. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever cylinders, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent. The Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with two cut keys. Those address knob and lever bodies rather than mortise cases.
7) Can I use this plug on residential deadbolts or knob locks?
No. The 487K13 AL is a commercial mortise cylinder component. Key-in-knob and residential deadbolt cylinders are a different body entirely, and for those the Kaba Ilco 1539 key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder or the 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder are the right family of part.
8) We want to standardize on interchangeable cores so cylinders can be swapped without pulling the lock. What are the alternatives to the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL?
The 487K13 AL is a fixed 7-pin X Class plug for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinders, so rekeying means working the cylinder itself. For a core-based program, the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core. On the Schlage side, the 20-057 is a 6-pin full-size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and the 20-057-C is a full-size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish. Those let a facility pull and replace cores in the field; the 487K13 AL keeps the opening on the Corbin Russwin AL keyway system.
9) For an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock on an aluminum storefront, is the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL the right cylinder part?
The 487K13 AL is a 7-pin X Class plug for 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinders with the Corbin Russwin AL keyway, offered in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. For MS1847 openings, Adams Rite lists dedicated hardware: the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both designed for use with the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, and the 4026 five-pin tumbler cylinder pull is designed for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch. Those are the pull-and-cylinder units for that lock family; the 487K13 AL serves Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder rebuilds.
10) What are the options if I need a cylinder for a residential-style deadbolt or handleset rather than the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL?
The 487K13 AL is specified for commercial use as a mortise cylinder replacement plug. For deadbolt and handleset retrofits, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Emtek also lists the CY4 cylinder as a parts item. Those match specific lock bodies rather than a commercial mortise housing.
11) I need a non-functioning cylinder for appearance only. Is the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL the wrong part?
Yes, for a blank opening it is. The 487K13 AL is a keyed 7-pin X Class plug with the AL keyway intended to restore working security in a 1-1/4 inch mortise cylinder. Where only the look of a cylinder is required, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the hole without keyed operation.
12) How does the pin count of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL compare with other cylinder options?
The 487K13 AL plug is a 7-pin X Class configuration with the AL keyway. Among other cylinder choices, the BEST 1CDF is also 7-pin, in drill-resistant patented brass interchangeable core form. Six-pin options include the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, the Falcon A23161-05 G in G keyway, and the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders. Five-pin options include the BEST 1C5 core and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder. Higher pin counts allow more differs within a keying system, and the keyway itself determines which key blanks and master key system the opening joins.
13) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the cylinder face and the rest of the trim on the opening, since the plug face is visible at the keyhole. 626 Satin Chrome is the usual match for commercial openings running satin chrome or brushed stainless lever trim.
14) Is the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AL a genuine factory part or aftermarket?
It's an authentic Corbin Russwin cylinder part, made to the same tolerances as the original component, which is what keeps the plug turning true in the shell and the pin stack aligned. That matters on X Class, where key control depends on factory-controlled parts rather than a generic plug.
