Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 487K38 plug, and is it a complete cylinder?
The 487K38 is just the plug, the rotating keyed core of a Corbin Russwin cylinder, not a full cylinder housing. It is sold as a replacement part for 1001 Hotel Mortise lock cylinder assemblies, so you install it into an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder body rather than replacing the whole lock. If your cylinder shell is damaged or you need a complete mortise cylinder, order a cylinder assembly instead.
2) Will the 487K38 work on a Corbin Russwin lock other than the 1001 Hotel Mortise?
It is built specifically for the 1001 Hotel Mortise lock platform. If you are re-keying a standard Corbin Russwin mortise lock, a storeroom or classroom function lock, or a rim device, this plug is not the part for it.
3) Can I use this plug for both 5-pin and 6-pin keying?
Yes. The plug accommodates 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, so it can drop into either keying depth a locksmith is working with on a Corbin Russwin hotel mortise cylinder. That matters on a property where some cylinders were built 5-pin and later work standardized on 6-pin: one plug part number covers both.
4) Which keyway and finish choices do I have to specify when I order this plug?
Two things to call out on the order. Keyway: D1 or D2. Finish: 606 Satin Brass or 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the keyway that matches the master key system already running the property, since the plug has to accept the existing keys, and match the finish to the trim the plug faces through.
5) If I need a complete mortise cylinder rather than just a plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1?
The 487K38 57D1 is a replacement cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder assemblies, so it only serves you if the housing stays in the door. For a full mortise cylinder assembly, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series rated Grade 1 with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Both of those replace the whole cylinder, not the plug inside it.
6) Is a BEST interchangeable core the same thing as a Corbin Russwin 487K38 plug?
No. The 487K38 57D1 is an individual X Class plug built to fit inside a Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder, keyed to the 57D keyway. BEST interchangeable cores are removable figure-eight cores that pull out of a matching BEST housing: the 1C Series standard 5-pin core, the 1CB 150 Series Peaks core, and the 1CDF 150 Series drill-resistant patented 7-pin brass core. Those are a different retention system and will not drop into a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder shell.
7) I have the 57D keyway in my building. Do I order D1 or D2?
The 487K38 57D1 is the 57D keyway family, with D1 and D2 offered as the ordering choices. Pull the keyway stamp or bitting record from one of your existing 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinders and order the matching one, because a D1 plug will not accept a key cut on a D2 blank.
8) I need to re-key guest room locks without buying new locks. Is swapping the plug the right approach?
That is exactly what this part is for. Replacing the plug restores or re-keys the cylinder in place, so the mortise lock body, trim, and prep all stay in the door. For a property manager running a maintenance program across many guest rooms, that keeps the work to a cylinder-level swap rather than a lock replacement.
9) Does a Medeco or BEST retrofit cylinder replace this Corbin Russwin plug?
No. Medeco retrofit cylinders in our range, such as the 1065140 5-pin for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handlesets, and the BEST 1CB interchangeable core, are built for other lock platforms and other key systems. They are not plugs for a Corbin Russwin 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder. For that assembly you need the Corbin Russwin plug in the matching 57D keyway.
10) What is the Schlage equivalent if my opening takes a rim cylinder instead of a mortise plug?
The Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 is a mortise-cylinder plug and has no rim application. For rim devices, Schlage Commercial offers the 20-021 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, the 20-022 with a horizontal tailpiece cam and two keys, and the 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. The tailpiece orientation is what you match to the exit device.
11) My locks are key-in-lever, not mortise. What cylinder do I use instead?
The Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 plug is specific to 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder assemblies. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever bodies, Kaba Ilco offers the 1539 Series universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder, plus the 1579 knob and lever cylinder made for Sargent locks. Falcon's A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for RU/T Series in the 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys.
12) Will a Corbin Russwin 487K38 plug work in an Adams Rite cylinder pull?
No. The 487K38 57D1 is an X Class plug cut for the Corbin Russwin 57D keyway and sized for 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinders. Adams Rite cylinder pulls are their own assemblies: the 4024 with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five-pin version with through-screws are both for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, and the 4026 five-pin pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch. Order the pull that matches the Adams Rite lock body rather than a Corbin Russwin plug.
13) I need a 5-pin plug for a residential handleset or deadbolt, not a hotel mortise lock. What are my options?
The Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 is a commercial component for 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinders. For handleset and deadbolt retrofits, Medeco offers the 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, the 1065244 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Emtek also lists the CY4 cylinder sold each.
14) Is this plug rated for commercial hotel use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It is a Corbin Russwin cylinder component intended for commercial door hardware, and the typical use is hotels and hospitality, plus office, education, healthcare, government, and multi-tenant residential buildings running Corbin Russwin hotel mortise locks.
15) If I want the opening to accept keys through an interchangeable core instead of re-pinning a plug, what changes?
With the Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 you re-pin or swap the plug itself inside the existing 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder, which keeps the housing and trim in place. An interchangeable core system moves that work to a core you pull with a control key: Schlage's 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish, and BEST's 1CB 150 Series and 1CDF 150 Series are core products as well. Choosing a core platform means standardizing the housings to accept it.
16) What if the opening needs a cylinder that looks keyed but does not operate anything?
The Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 is a functioning plug that carries the pin stack and 57D keyway for an operating 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder. Where you only need the appearance of a cylinder, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep without operating a lock. Those two serve opposite purposes, so confirm whether the opening is keyed before ordering.
17) Is a Kaba Ilco 1549 deadbolt cylinder an alternative for a hotel mortise lock?
No. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder with a deadbolt function, as is the 1539 Series universal cylinder. The Corbin Russwin 487K38 57D1 is a plug for a 1001 Hotel Mortise cylinder assembly, available in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome with D1 or D2 keyway options. Match the plug to the mortise cylinder you already have rather than substituting a deadbolt cylinder.
