Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Corbin Russwin cylinders does the 488K98 plug fit?
The 488K98 is matched to the CK4200 series, the UT5200 at the .552 inch plug diameter, and the 2000-051 cylinder series. Those three are the stated fits. It is a commercial cylinder part, so it is not intended for residential builders hardware.
2) Which keyway do I have to specify when ordering this Corbin Russwin plug?
Keyway is an ordering choice, not a fixed value. The L keyway family is offered in L1, L2, L3 and L4. The plug must match the keyway your existing keys are cut on, so pull a key and confirm the keyway stamp before you pick. An L2 plug will not accept an L1 key.
3) Can I use this plug to convert a Schlage or Sargent cylinder to Corbin Russwin keying?
No. The 488K98 is dimensioned for Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 and 2000-051 cylinders only. To key other brands into your system you need a cylinder built for that hardware, for example a Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, or a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder for Schlage rim applications.
4) Can a BEST 1C5 core be used in place of a Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 plug?
No. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 is an individual standard cylinder plug - the pin-loaded barrel that goes inside a CK4200, UT5200 (.552") or 2000-051 cylinder, ordered in the L keyway for re-keying and service work. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, a complete removable core that drops into a BEST small format interchangeable core housing. If the housing in your door is a Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 or 2000-051, the 488K98 L1 plug is the part that fits it; a 1C5 core needs a BEST SFIC housing.
5) If I want to convert an opening to interchangeable core instead of re-pinning a plug, what cylinder should I look at?
Re-pinning is what the Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 plug supports - it is an individual standard plug for CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinders, replaced or re-pinned as a service part. If you would rather pull and swap cores without disassembling the cylinder, an interchangeable core product is the different approach: the BEST 1CB 150 Series is an interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Those change the cylinder platform rather than serving an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder.
6) Will the 488K98 L1 plug work in a mortise cylinder on an aluminum storefront door?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 plug is matched to CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinder bodies, so it is the wrong part for a storefront mortise cylinder unless one of those bodies is what is in the door. For storefront deadlock work, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security that suits doors 1/2 inch thick and up, and the Adams Rite 4024 and 4025 are cylinder pulls made for the MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch - the 4025 a five pin tumbler pull with through-screws. For a wood door deadlock, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is built for the 5017 wood door deadlock.
7) Does the 488K98 work for both 5-pin and 6-pin keying?
Yes. The plug is drilled for 5 and 6-pin cylinder setups, so the same part covers a 5-pin master keyed system or a 6-pin one. Pin the chambers you need for your system.
8) I need to rekey a whole building of Corbin Russwin cylinders. Is buying plugs the right approach?
It works where the existing cylinders are sound and you are changing keyway or replacing worn plugs, one cylinder at a time. For a facility that wants to rekey without disassembly going forward, an interchangeable core system is the better long-term move, such as a BEST 1C standard 5-pin core or the 1CB Peaks 150 series core, where a control key swaps the core in seconds. The 488K98 is a bench part for service work on cylinders already in place.
9) I need a full mortise cylinder, not a plug. What should I order instead?
A plug is only the core piece. If you need a complete keyed cylinder ready to thread into a lock, look at a full mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65, a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, or the Adams Rite 4036 Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder. Neither carries a Corbin Russwin L keyway, so if you must stay on your existing key system, order a Corbin Russwin cylinder in the L keyway rather than a plug.
10) I need a complete key-in-lever cylinder, not just a plug - what are the options?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 is only the plug for a CK4200, UT5200 (.552") or 2000-051 cylinder, so it will not serve as a whole cylinder. For a complete key-in-lever cylinder, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder built for Sargent locks. Keying on those follows their own keyways rather than the Corbin Russwin L keyway family.
11) Can I use the 488K98 L1 plug for a residential deadbolt or handleset cylinder?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 is a commercial cylinder plug for CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 bodies, not a deadbolt or handleset cylinder. For that work the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Emtek CY4 is sold as an individual cylinder.
12) For an opening that only needs a pull with no keying, is the 488K98 L1 the wrong part?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 L1 is a pinned standard plug for keyed service in CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinders, so there is nothing for it to do on an unkeyed opening. Where a cylinder shape is needed without a working key, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep instead.
13) What finishes is the 488K98 plug available in?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. The plug face is the visible part once the cylinder is assembled, so match it to the cylinder ring and the rest of the trim on the door. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial standard.
