Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Corbin Russwin locks does the 564K53 AR cylinder plug fit?
The 564K53 AR plug is made for Corbin Russwin CK4400 series (excluding the CK4429 Hotel function), CK4455, and CK4482 locks built before August 1993. If the lock is a CK4429 Hotel, or the hardware was produced after that 1993 cutoff, this is not the right plug.
2) Does this Corbin Russwin plug work with 5-pin or 6-pin cylinders?
Both. The 564K53 AR plug supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, so one plug covers either pinning depth on the compatible CK4400, CK4455, and CK4482 locks.
3) What keyway is the Corbin Russwin 564K53 plug cut for, and will it key into my existing system?
It is an AR keyway plug. That keeps it inside an existing Corbin Russwin AR-keyed system, so it can be pinned to your current keying rather than forcing a rekey of the opening. A building master-keyed on a different Corbin Russwin keyway needs the plug in that keyway instead.
4) If the whole cylinder needs replacing instead of just the plug, what takes the place of a Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR?
The 564K53 AR is a replacement cylinder plug for CK4400 (except CK4429 Hotel), CK4455 and CK4482 locks built before August 1993, so it only restores the plug inside an existing cylinder. If the cylinder housing itself is worn or you are rekeying the whole opening, a complete key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder is the item to order: the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Those are full cylinders, not plugs, and they will not carry the Corbin Russwin AR keyway, so confirm your keying system before you switch.
5) Is a BEST 1C5 core the same kind of part as a Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR plug?
No. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin interchangeable core, a figure-eight core that drops into BEST-prepped housings as a unit. The Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR is a machined plug that goes inside a conventional Corbin Russwin cylinder on CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 locks and supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations with the AR keyway. They are not interchangeable in either direction; a lock prepped for a small format core needs a core, not a plug.
6) What do I order for an exit device rim application instead of the Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR?
The 564K53 AR is a plug for key-in-lever style CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 cylinders and has no rim cam. A rim device needs a rim cylinder: the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the Schlage 20-022 is the same cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, so match the cam orientation to the device. If the facility runs full size interchangeable cores, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam.
7) Will a Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR work in an aluminum storefront door?
No. It is a plug for Corbin Russwin CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 lock bodies, not a cylinder for narrow stile hardware. Aluminum storefront typically runs Adams Rite hardware: the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder for doors 1/2 inch minimum, and the 4024 and 4025 cylinder pulls are built for the MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch. For a wood door version of the pull, the Adams Rite 4026 five-pin cylinder pull is made for the 5017 wood door deadlock.
8) Our building is on Schlage C keyway, not the Corbin Russwin AR keyway. Is there a mortise cylinder that matches our keys?
The 564K53 AR is cut for the Corbin Russwin AR keyway and cannot be keyed into a Schlage C system. For a C keyway opening, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder with the Schlage C keyway, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core cylinder in C keyway with a 643E Aged Bronze finish. Both keep you on one key system rather than adding a second.
9) What finishes does the 564K53 cylinder plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the cylinder face and lever trim already on the door, since the plug face is the visible part.
10) My Corbin Russwin lock is newer than 1993. What should I look at instead?
Skip this plug, it is specified for CK4400, CK4455, and CK4482 hardware produced before August 1993. For a newer opening, a complete replacement cylinder is usually the cleaner route: ZenSupply carries mortise and rim cylinders from other makers such as the Detex MC65 6-pin mortise cylinder and the Schlage 20-021 6-pin rim cylinder, though those bring their own keyways and will not stay on an AR system.
11) Is this a full interchangeable core, or just the plug?
Just the plug. The 564K53 AR is the keyed plug that goes into the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder shell, not a core you drop in with a control key. If you want a removable core system, that is a different product class, for example the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder.
12) We want to move away from conventional plugs to interchangeable cores across the building. What should we look at?
The 564K53 AR keeps a legacy Corbin Russwin conventional cylinder in service on pre-1993 CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 locks. If the goal is to standardize on interchangeable cores so a locksmith can swap keying without disassembling the lock, the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder or the BEST 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core are the format to spec. Moving to cores means retrofitting the locks to accept them, so plan it as a hardware change rather than a part swap.
13) Is the Falcon A23161-05 G a substitute for the Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR?
It is a different part for a different lock. The Falcon A23161-05 G is a complete key-in-lever cylinder for RU/T series locks with a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. The Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR is a plug only, for CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 locks made before August 1993, in the AR keyway with 5-pin and 6-pin support. Use the Falcon when the lock is Falcon RU/T and you want a complete cylinder with keys; use the 564K53 AR when you are rebuilding a Corbin Russwin cylinder into an existing AR key system.
14) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR and a Medeco retrofit cylinder for a residential handleset?
The 564K53 AR is a commercial part, a plug for Corbin Russwin CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 lock families. The Medeco options in the same category serve residential handlesets and deadbolts: the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, 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. Pick by the lock body you are working on, not by pin count.
15) I need a non-keyed filler for a rim opening, not a working plug. What should I order?
The 564K53 AR is a functioning keyed plug in the AR keyway for Corbin Russwin CK series cylinders, so it is the wrong part for a dummy application. The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the item built to fill a rim prep without operating anything.
16) Is the 564K53 AR plug suitable for residential doors?
It is a commercial part. The plug is specified for commercial use inside Corbin Russwin's mechanical lock line, and its application is maintaining institutional hardware in offices, schools, healthcare, and government buildings. A house deadbolt or knob would take a standard retrofit cylinder instead, such as the Kaba Ilco 1539 key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder.
17) Does the Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR come in a chrome finish, or do I need a different brand for that?
No need to change brands. The 564K53 AR plug is offered in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome, so you can match either a brass or chrome trim package within the same Corbin Russwin part. By contrast, the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is listed in 643E Aged Bronze.
18) Is a Kaba Ilco 1579 a drop-in for the Corbin Russwin 564K53 AR?
It is not. The Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder made for Sargent locks, while the 564K53 AR is a plug for Corbin Russwin CK4400, CK4455 and CK4482 bodies built before August 1993. The Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder is likewise a deadbolt part. Match the cylinder to the lock manufacturer and body before ordering.
