Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR, a complete cylinder or just the plug?
It is the plug only, not a finished cylinder. The 488K85 AR is a 7-pin Individual X Class plug made to go into a Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder housing. If you need a working rim cylinder out of the box, order a complete rim cylinder instead; this part is for a locksmith rebuilding or rekeying an existing 3000-7.
2) What keyway does the Corbin Russwin 488K85 plug come in?
It ships factory-configured with the AR keyway, so it keys into an existing Corbin Russwin AR system. If your facility is keyed on a different Corbin Russwin section, the keys already in circulation will not enter this plug, and you need the plug cut for your section instead.
3) If the whole rim cylinder needs replacing instead of just the plug, what complete rim cylinder can be used?
The Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR is only the 7-pin X Class plug for the 3000-7 rim cylinder, so it restores a housing that is already in the door. When the entire cylinder is being swapped, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder supplied with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage Commercial 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. The cam orientation has to match what the exit device or rim lock body requires, and going to a complete Schlage cylinder moves the opening off the Corbin Russwin AR keyway.
4) What should be used instead when a facility wants keys rekeyed without disassembling the cylinder?
The Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR is a replacement plug, so changing keying means pulling the cylinder and repinning the plug at the bench. For interchangeable-core keying that a supervisor can pull and swap in the doorway, the BEST 1CB is a 1CB Series 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass core in the 150 Series, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Those are separate keying platforms, not AR keyway parts.
5) We want interchangeable cores so we can rekey without a locksmith. Is this plug the right direction?
No. The 488K85 is a fixed plug that has to be pinned into a 3000-7 shell, which means bench work every time you rekey. For field-swappable keying, look at an interchangeable core platform instead, such as the BEST 1C Series 5-pin core, the BEST 1CB 150 Series core, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam.
6) Can I use this Corbin Russwin plug in a Schlage or BEST cylinder?
No. It is cut for the Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder shell and the AR keyway. Plug diameter, chamber spacing and cam interface differ between manufacturers. For Schlage-keyed openings use a Schlage rim cylinder like the 20-021 or 20-022; for BEST, stay on their core platform.
7) Is a BEST 1C5 core an equivalent to the Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR plug?
No. Both are the keyed element rather than a full cylinder assembly, but the 488K85 AR is a 7-pin X Class plug cut for the Corbin Russwin AR keyway and built for the 3000-7 rim cylinder housing, while the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core from the BEST Standard and Premium Cores line. Different pin count and a different keying platform, so they are not interchangeable in the same housing.
8) What looks like a substitute for the 488K85 AR rim plug but will not work on a rim application?
Mortise and key-in-lever cylinders get mistaken for rim parts. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T Series 6-pin G keyway. None of those seat in a Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder, which is what the 488K85 AR plug is built for.
9) What rim cylinder goes on a door that needs the trim to look keyed but not operate?
The Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR is a working 7-pin plug that carries actual keying for the 3000-7 rim cylinder. Where an opening only needs the appearance of a cylinder with no key function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder measures 1-5/32 inch in diameter and is made for that purpose.
10) For a residential-style handleset or deadbolt, is the 488K85 AR the right rim part?
No. The 488K85 AR is a commercial replacement plug for the Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder. Rim cylinders built for handlesets and deadbolts include the Medeco 1075127, a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1012040, a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065244, a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Those are matched to specific lock bodies rather than to the Corbin Russwin AR system.
11) Is the X Class plug suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential part?
Strictly commercial. Corbin Russwin lists the 488K85 as a commercial replacement cylinder part, and the 7-pin X Class arrangement is used where key control matters, offices, schools, hospitals, retail, government buildings and multi-tenant residential.
12) What is the difference between ordering the 488K85 AR plug and ordering a keyed cylinder that ships with cut keys?
The Corbin Russwin 488K85 AR is a 7-pin X Class plug ordered as a replacement part in 606 Satin Brass or 626 Satin Chrome, intended to be pinned into the existing 3000-7 rim cylinder. Cylinders that arrive ready to hang include the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders, each supplied with two keys, and the Falcon A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder, which is keyed different and comes with two cut keys. Choose the plug when keeping the AR system and the existing housing; choose a complete keyed cylinder when the opening is being set up fresh.
13) If a Corbin Russwin opening is being standardized onto a single keyway across a building, what alternative platform covers it?
The 488K85 AR keeps an opening inside the Corbin Russwin AR keyway system, which is the reason to use it when the rest of the building is already AR. To standardize onto a different keyway instead, the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in the C keyway finished 643E Aged Bronze, and the BEST 1CDF is a patented drill resistant 7-pin interchangeable core. Both put the facility on a keying platform separate from Corbin Russwin AR.
