Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Corbin Russwin keyways can I get this 488K98 plug in?
Eleven keyway sections are offered: 252, 60, 70, 750, 751, 752, 852, 981, 982 and 983, plus the 2000-051 keyway profile described for the 252 plug. Pick the keyway section that matches the existing key system in the building, otherwise your current keys will not enter the plug.
2) Does this Corbin Russwin plug work for both 5-pin and 6-pin keying?
It supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, so the same plug covers a 5-pin cylinder or a 6-pin master keyed system. Pinning is done by the locksmith at rekey time; the plug itself is the blank chassis for either build.
3) Can I just replace the plug instead of buying a whole new cylinder?
That is exactly what this part is for. The 488K98 is sold as an individual standard plug, a replacement part for cylinder maintenance, rekeying to a different keyway section, or swapping out a damaged plug without replacing the full cylinder assembly.
4) If I need a whole cylinder rather than just a plug, what should I order instead of the Corbin Russwin 488K98 252?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is an individual standard cylinder plug sold as a replacement part for CK4200 and UT5200 (.552 inch) cylinders, so it assumes you already have the cylinder shell in hand. If the cylinder itself has to be replaced, a complete unit is the correct order instead: the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder. Both are full cylinders, not plugs, and neither carries the Corbin Russwin 2000-051 keyway.
5) Can I use an interchangeable core instead of rekeying with a 488K98 252 plug?
Only if the hardware is built for cores. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is a standard plug for CK4200 and UT5200 cylinders, supporting 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, and it is pinned into a fixed cylinder body. Interchangeable-core systems pull and swap the core without disassembly: the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented 7-pin interchangeable core in the 150 Series, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder. Those require housings prepped for that core format, so they are a system change rather than a drop-in for a CK4200 plug.
6) I need a complete cylinder, not a plug. What should I look at instead?
The 488K98 is only the plug, so it will not help you if you have no cylinder body. For a complete unit, a Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder (6-pin, vertical tailpiece cam) or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam covers rim device applications, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway. None of those will key into a Corbin Russwin system, so choose by the keyway your building already runs.
7) Is the Corbin Russwin 488K98 an interchangeable core?
No. It is a standard cylinder plug for conventional CK4200 and UT5200 cylinders, so rekeying means pulling the plug and repinning. If you want cores you can swap by hand with a control key, you are looking at a different platform entirely, such as the BEST 1C 5-pin standard core or the Schlage 20-057 full size interchangeable core rim cylinder.
8) Is a BEST 1C5 core the same kind of part as the Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 plug?
They are both the keyed plug portion of a cylinder, but they are not interchangeable. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core from the Standard and Premium Cores line, made to be removed and replaced as a unit in BEST small-format housings. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is an individual standard plug that fits Corbin Russwin CK4200 and UT5200 (.552 inch) cylinders and carries the 2000-051 keyway, with 5-pin and 6-pin capability. Ordering one where the other is specified will not fit the cylinder body.
9) I need a replacement cylinder for a key-in-lever lock, not a plug. What are the options?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is a plug for CK4200 and UT5200 cylinder bodies and does not replace a key-in-lever cylinder assembly. For that, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, and the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent. Each is a complete cylinder sized to its own lock family rather than a Corbin Russwin plug.
10) Will the 488K98 252 plug work in an exit device rim cylinder application?
No. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is a plug for CK4200 and UT5200 (.552 inch) cylinder bodies. A rim cylinder application needs a rim cylinder with a tailpiece cam: the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Schlage 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Tailpiece orientation is what matches the device, and a plug has no tailpiece at all.
11) What should I use for a deadbolt cylinder replacement instead of the Corbin Russwin 488K98 252?
The 488K98 252 is a CK4200 and UT5200 plug and is not a deadbolt cylinder. For deadbolt work, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, both listed with a deadbolt function. Medeco offers retrofit units as well: the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Those are keyed to their own systems rather than the Corbin Russwin 2000-051 keyway.
12) For an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlock, is the 488K98 252 the right cylinder part?
No. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is a replacement plug for CK4200 and UT5200 cylinders in commercial mechanical lock systems. Adams Rite storefront deadlocks take their own cylinder hardware: the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. Those match the Adams Rite lock body rather than a Corbin Russwin cylinder.
13) Is this plug suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 488K98 is a mechanical lock cylinder component built to Corbin Russwin's commercial standards, used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, retail, industrial sites and multi-tenant residential.
14) I need a non-keyed cylinder to fill an opening, not a working plug. What is the alternative?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 is a functioning standard plug in the 2000-051 keyway for CK4200 and UT5200 cylinders, so it is meant to be pinned and keyed. If the prep just needs to be filled without a key function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the part built for that purpose.
15) If key control and drill resistance are the priority, is a 488K98 252 plug the right choice?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 252 carries the 2000-051 keyway and supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, which keeps a rekeyed CK4200 or UT5200 cylinder inside an existing Corbin Russwin key system. If the goal is a higher-security platform rather than staying in that system, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core with 7 pins in brass, 150 Series. Moving to it means changing the core format the housings accept.
