Corbin Russwin 488K98 N1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the .552 inch dimension on the UT5200 plug mean for fit?
That is the plug diameter called out for UT5200 compatibility. Because the 488K98 is made to that .552 inch size, it drops into the housing without reaming or modification. If the cylinder you are servicing uses a different plug diameter, this is not the part.
2) Which N keyways can I order this Corbin Russwin plug in?
The full N keyway family is covered: N1 through N28. Order the plug in the same keyway as the rest of your Corbin Russwin system, because the plug determines which key blank will enter. A plug in the wrong N number will not accept your existing keys.
3) I need a complete cylinder, not just a plug. What should I buy instead?
If the housing is damaged or you are adding hardware rather than servicing it, buy a full cylinder. For rim applications there is the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 with a horizontal cam, both 6-pin. For interchangeable core work, the BEST 1C 5-pin core or the Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder are the usual choices. The 488K98 only makes sense when you are rebuilding a Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 or 2000-051 cylinder you already have.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin 488K98 a complete cylinder or just the plug?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is an individual standard plug - the keyed plug component that goes inside a CK4200, UT5200 (.552") or 2000-051 cylinder housing, supplied in 5 and 6-pin configuration with an N keyway. If you need a whole cylinder rather than a service part, a complete assembly is a different item: the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway. Those arrive as finished cylinders; the 488K98 is meant to be pinned and installed into an existing Corbin Russwin housing.
5) We want to stop pinning plugs and move to interchangeable cores - what should we look at instead of the 488K98?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 plug is a pinned service component for CK4200, UT5200 and 2000-051 cylinder bodies, so every rekey is a bench operation. An interchangeable-core program changes that: the BEST 1C standard 5-pin cylinder core and the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core cylinder are core-based, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Moving to cores means changing the cylinder housings and the key system, not just the plugs, so it is a facility-level decision rather than a drop-in swap.
6) I need a cylinder for a narrow stile aluminum door with an Adams Rite deadlock - is the 488K98 the right part?
No. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is a plug for Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 and 2000-051 cylinder housings. For an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock the matching parts are the Adams Rite 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws or the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting, both designed for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch; for a wood door 5017 deadlock the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is the designated part. A Grade 1 mortise cylinder for that family is the Adams Rite 4036, listed for a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness.
7) Is the 488K98 a 5-pin or a 6-pin plug?
It handles both. The 488K98 plug is drilled to accept 5-pin and 6-pin tumbler arrangements, so it works whether the housing you are servicing is set up as a 5-pin cylinder or a 6-pin one in a deeper master key system.
8) Does the 488K98 plug come with pins, springs or keys?
It is sold as an individual standard plug, a replacement component for a Corbin Russwin cylinder. Plan on supplying your own pinning kit and cutting keys to your system from the correct N keyway blank.
9) Can I use this Corbin Russwin plug to convert a lock to a Schlage or BEST key system?
No. The 488K98 is cut for Corbin Russwin N keyways only and fits Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 and 2000-051 housings. To put an opening on a different system you swap the cylinder, not the plug, using something like the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway or a BEST interchangeable core.
10) Will a Kaba Ilco universal knob and lever cylinder work in place of a Corbin Russwin 488K98?
No. The 488K98 is a plug that seats inside Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinder housings in an N keyway. The Kaba Ilco 1539 key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder for Sargent are complete replacement cylinders for knob and lever locks, not plugs for a Corbin Russwin housing. They replace the cylinder, which takes the door off the Corbin Russwin N keying program rather than restoring it.
11) What is the closest equivalent to the 488K98 for a Falcon key-in-lever lock?
For Falcon key-in-lever hardware the counterpart part is the Falcon A23161-05 G, a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different and supplied with two cut keys. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 serves the same role on the Corbin Russwin side but as a plug only, in an N keyway, for CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinders. The keyways are different systems, so the two are not interchangeable within one master key program.
12) We spec drill resistant cylinders on exterior doors - is there a higher security option than the 488K98 plug?
The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is a standard plug, described as an OEM-specification replacement for CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinders in the N keyway. Where drill resistance and patented key control are required, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core, 7-pin, brass, in the 150 series. That is a different keying platform and housing style, so it suits new specification or a planned changeover rather than servicing existing Corbin Russwin cylinders.
13) What should I use for a residential-style handleset or deadbolt instead of a Corbin Russwin 488K98?
The 488K98 is a commercial cylinder service part for Corbin Russwin CK4200, UT5200 and 2000-051 housings. Handleset and deadbolt retrofits call for a different family: the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders. Kaba Ilco also lists the 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder for deadbolt applications.
14) Can I match the 488K98 N keyway with a Schlage C keyway core?
No. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is supplied in the Corbin Russwin N keyway, with N1 through N28 sections, to keep the plug inside an authorized Corbin Russwin keying program. Schlage C keyway parts such as the 20-057-C full size interchangeable core in 643E aged bronze, or the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, belong to a separate key system and will not key to Corbin Russwin N keys. Mixing them means two key systems on the same building.
15) For a rim device, is the difference between the 488K98 and a Schlage 20-021 or 20-022 just the brand?
No, they are different classes of part. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is a plug only, sized for CK4200, UT5200 (.552") and 2000-051 cylinder bodies. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are complete 6-pin rim cylinders supplied with two keys, and the choice between them is the cam: the 20-021 has a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 a horizontal tailpiece cam, which is dictated by the exit device you are keying.
16) Is this plug suitable for a commercial master key system, or only light duty?
It is a commercial-grade part, built to Corbin Russwin cylinder specification for offices, schools, healthcare, hospitality and multi-tenant buildings. Keeping the plug in the same N keyway is what preserves an existing master key program when you rebuild a cylinder.
17) Does a dummy cylinder work where a 488K98 plug would go?
No. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is a non-functioning filler for a rim prep where no key operation is wanted. The Corbin Russwin 488K98 is a working 5 and 6-pin plug that carries the key cuts and restores operation in a CK4200, UT5200 (.552") or 2000-051 cylinder, and it is offered across N1 through N28 keyways in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome.
