Corbin Russwin 487K13 AR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 7-pin AR keyway cylinder work in my existing Corbin Russwin master key system?
The AR keyway is one of Corbin Russwin's own keyway sections, so the 487K13 AR pins and keys to AR key blanks and slots into an existing AR master key system. If your building is keyed in a different Corbin Russwin section, an AR-keyway plug will not accept your keys, so confirm the section stamped on your current key before ordering.
2) Can I use this Corbin Russwin plug in a rim cylinder or a key-in-lever cylinder?
No. The 487K13 AR is built for mortise cylinder assemblies only, and mortise, rim and key-in-knob housings use different plug lengths and cam or tailpiece arrangements. For rim applications look at the Schlage 20-021 (vertical tailpiece cam) or 20-022 (horizontal cam); for key-in-knob or lever replacement the Kaba Ilco 1599 and 1539 series cover those housings.
3) I need a whole mortise cylinder, not just the plug. What should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AR?
The 487K13 AR is the cylinder plug itself - the keyed core that carries the AR keyway and the 7-pin X Class pinning - intended as a replacement component inside an existing Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assembly. If the door has no usable cylinder shell at all, order a complete mortise cylinder instead: the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, and the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway at 1-1/8 inch. Those arrive as finished cylinders you thread into the lock body; the 487K13 AR assumes you already have the housing and cam.
4) Will a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder work in place of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AR?
No - they serve different lock types. The 487K13 AR is a mortise cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assemblies, offered in mortise lengths from 1-1/4 inch through 2 inch. The Schlage 20-021 is a rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, and the 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal cam; rim cylinders mount through the door behind a rim exit device, not threaded into a mortise lock body. Choose by the lock case on the door: mortise body takes the mortise plug or a mortise cylinder, rim exit device takes the rim cylinder.
5) The doors have key-in-lever locks, not mortise locks. Is the 487K13 AR the right cylinder part?
No. The 487K13 AR is built for mortise cylinder assemblies. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever bodies, the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the 1579 is the knob and lever cylinder built for Sargent locks, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Falcon's equivalent is the A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder, a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys. For a key-in-deadbolt, the Kaba Ilco 1549 covers that position.
6) Why choose a 7-pin plug over a 6-pin for a commercial building?
The extra chamber gives more master keying depth and tighter key control, which matters when one system has to cover many doors and levels of access across a facility. Most competing commercial cylinders in this class run 5 or 6 pins, for example the Detex MC65 at 6-pin and the Adams Rite 4036 at five-pin, so a 7-pin X Class plug is the choice when you are standardizing a large keyed system rather than fixing one door.
7) We want to standardize on interchangeable cores so we can rekey without pulling cylinders. What is the alternative to the 487K13 AR plug?
The 487K13 AR is a fixed plug that has to be pinned at the bench, so rekeying means disassembling the mortise cylinder. If a facility wants core swaps by control key instead, the BEST 1CDF is a 7-pin drill resistant patented interchangeable core in brass, 150 series, matching the 487K13 AR on pin count; the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 series core and the 5-pin BEST 1C5 standard core are the other steps in that family. Schlage's route is full size interchangeable core - the 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam, or the 20-057-C FSIC core in the C keyway, 643E aged bronze. Going to any of these means changing over the cylinder housings, not just the plug.
8) This is an aluminum storefront with an Adams Rite deadlock. Does the 487K13 AR fit?
Only if the opening actually uses a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder assembly. On narrow stile aluminum storefront running an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock, the cylinder normally sits in a cylinder pull: the Adams Rite 4024 is the cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for MS1847 systems, and the 4025 is the five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same deadlock. For a wood door with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch, the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is the matching part. If the storefront lock is a threaded mortise cylinder housing, the Adams Rite 4036 Grade 1 mortise cylinder is the complete-cylinder option.
9) Is this Corbin Russwin cylinder plug suitable for apartment and school doors, or is it residential grade?
It is a commercial part. Corbin Russwin lists the 487K13 AR for commercial use in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, industrial facilities and multi-tenant residential, which is the traffic level a 7-pin X Class mortise cylinder is built for. For a residential handleset or deadbolt you would be looking at something like the Medeco 1075127 rim-type lazy motion cylinder instead.
10) What is the difference between the 487K13 AR plug and a dummy cylinder like the BEST 12E?
The 487K13 AR is a keyed, pinned plug - a 7-pin X Class plug in the AR keyway that operates the lock when the correct key is inserted. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, is a blank filler that fills the cylinder hole and turns nothing; it is used where the opening needs the look of a cylinder without key function. Specify the 487K13 AR where the door has to be operated by key, the dummy where it does not.
11) Can I use a Medeco retrofit cylinder instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K13 AR?
Those solve a different problem. The 487K13 AR replaces the plug inside a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder on commercial mortise hardware. The Medeco parts in this family are retrofit cylinders for residential-style handlesets and deadbolts: the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, the 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Emtek's own CY4 cylinder covers that brand's openings. None of them thread into a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder body.
