Corbin Russwin 488K85 BR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 488K85, a complete rim cylinder or just a part of one?
It's a replacement plug only, not a complete cylinder. The 488K85 is the 7-pin Individual X Class plug that drops into a Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder housing. If you need a whole rim cylinder for an exit device, this isn't it; you'd order the 3000-7 cylinder itself. Buy the plug when the housing is fine and you're restoring or re-keying the plug.
2) Does this Corbin Russwin plug work with my existing BR keyway keys?
The 488K85 ships with the BR keyway profile, so it keys into an existing Corbin Russwin BR system and holds the same key control. If your building is keyed in a different Corbin Russwin keyway, this plug won't accept those keys and you need the plug cut for your keyway.
3) If I need a complete rim cylinder rather than just a replacement plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 488K85?
The 488K85 is a 7-pin X Class replacement plug for the Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder, so it is a component that goes into an existing cylinder body, not a standalone cylinder. If the whole cylinder needs to be replaced, a complete rim cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021, a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys, or the Schlage 20-022, the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys, covers that. Choose the Schlage by the cam orientation the exit device or rim latch requires; the 488K85 keeps you inside the Corbin Russwin BR keying system.
4) We are moving our facility to interchangeable core so we can rekey in house. What is the alternative to a Corbin Russwin 488K85 plug?
The 488K85 is a conventional replacement plug, so rekeying it means pulling the cylinder and repinning the plug. Facilities standardizing on interchangeable core instead use a core-based product: the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and 2 keys, the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in the C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish, and the BEST 1CB is a 1CB Series 150 interchangeable core cylinder. Moving to any of these changes the keyway and key system away from Corbin Russwin BR, so plan the transition across the whole facility.
5) Is a 7-pin X Class plug interchangeable with a standard 6-pin Corbin Russwin plug?
No. The 488K85 is a 7-pin Individual X Class plug, which is a different pinning depth and key control level than a standard 6-pin plug. Keys cut for a 6-pin system will not operate it, and the pin stack is not the same. Match the plug to the pin count and class your master key system was built on.
6) I need a rim cylinder for an exit device, not a rebuild part. What else could I use?
If you're replacing the whole cylinder rather than rebuilding a Corbin Russwin 3000-7, look at a complete rim cylinder instead. The Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the 20-022 is the same cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Match the cam orientation to what your exit device requires. For an interchangeable-core opening, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam.
7) Can I use this Corbin Russwin plug to convert an opening to interchangeable core?
No. The 488K85 is a fixed 7-pin plug for a conventional Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder, not a core. If you're standardizing a facility on interchangeable core, that's a different platform: the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core or the 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin core in the 150 Series are IC products, and the Schlage 20-057 handles a full-size interchangeable core rim application.
8) Will a BEST 1C5 core work as a substitute for a Corbin Russwin 488K85?
No. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin interchangeable core, a complete removable core that drops into a BEST-prepped housing. The Corbin Russwin 488K85 is a 7-pin X Class plug that is installed inside the body of a Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder and carries the BR keyway. The two are different classes of part and are not mechanically interchangeable. If your openings are already BEST IC prepped, a core such as the 1C5 or the 7-pin drill resistant BEST 1CDF is the right family; if they are Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinders, the 488K85 plug is the matching component.
9) What do I use for an aluminum storefront door rather than a Corbin Russwin 488K85 plug?
Aluminum storefront openings with Adams Rite deadlocks take a different cylinder family entirely. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder for doors 1/2 inch minimum thickness, and the Adams Rite 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 Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch. The 488K85 plug only fits the Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder, which is a rim application, not a narrow stile mortise or cylinder pull one.
10) Is the Medeco 1075127 rim cylinder an equivalent to the Corbin Russwin 488K85?
They serve different openings. The Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder intended for handlesets and deadbolts, as is the 5-pin Medeco 1065244 lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece and the 6-pin Medeco 1012040 lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Those are complete cylinders with a lazy motion drive for residential-style deadbolt and handleset hardware. The Corbin Russwin 488K85 is a 7-pin X Class plug that restores the keying of an existing commercial 3000-7 rim cylinder in the BR keyway.
11) I need to rekey knob and lever locks, not a rim cylinder. What takes the place of the 488K85 there?
The 488K85 plug is specific to the Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever bodies, Kaba Ilco makes replacement cylinders by lock family: the 1539 Series key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 for Sargent knob and lever locks, and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder. For key-in-deadbolt applications the Ilco 1549 Series covers that, and Falcon's A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T Series 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys. Match the cylinder to the lock chassis you are servicing.
12) The opening does not need to be keyed, it just needs the cylinder appearance. Do I still need a 488K85?
No. A plug like the 488K85 exists to carry the pinning and the BR key control of a working Corbin Russwin 3000-7 rim cylinder. Where the hole only needs to be filled and matched visually with no key function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is built for that purpose. Use the 488K85 only where the opening is actually keyed into your Corbin Russwin system.
13) Can a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder replace the Corbin Russwin 488K85?
No. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, which threads into a mortise housing and uses a cam. The Corbin Russwin 488K85 is a 7-pin X Class plug for the 3000-7 rim cylinder in the BR keyway, and it is a sub-component rather than a cylinder you install in a door. Different mounting style, different pin count, and a different key system.
14) Do I get keys with the Corbin Russwin 488K85 plug?
Treat it as a bare replacement plug. It's sold as a cylinder part for restoring or re-keying a 3000-7 rim cylinder, so the keying work is done by your locksmith to match the existing BR system. If you want a cylinder that arrives with keys cut, a complete unit like the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder is supplied with two keys.
15) Is this plug suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial part. Corbin Russwin lists the 488K85 as commercial-grade cylinder hardware, and it's used in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant residential where a Corbin Russwin keying system is already in place.
16) Is there a wood door option comparable to the Corbin Russwin 488K85 cylinder plug?
For wood doors running Adams Rite deadlocks, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. That is a complete cylinder pull assembly for the door face. The Corbin Russwin 488K85 is not door-material specific in the same way, it is a 7-pin X Class plug that goes inside an existing 3000-7 rim cylinder in the BR keyway, and it is available in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome.
