Corbin Russwin 579K14 252 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug, and does it come as a complete cylinder?
It's the plug only, not a full cylinder. The 579K14 252 is an individual standard cylinder plug for the CK4429 cylinder, supplied with a new tailpiece and keyway so it can go straight into service. If you need a complete drop-in cylinder rather than a service part, this isn't it, this is a replacement plug for rebuilding or rekeying an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder.
2) Which Corbin Russwin keyways can I order the 579K14 plug in?
Nine keyways: 252, 60, 70, 750, 751, 752, 852, 981, 982 and 983. Pick the one that matches the existing keying system on the building, since the plug has to accept the keys already cut for that section.
3) I manage a building keyed on Corbin Russwin. Can I rekey a tenant's lock with this plug instead of replacing the whole cylinder?
That's what it's for. Swapping the plug in a CK4429 cylinder lets you change the keying on one opening without buying a complete cylinder or pulling the lock body out of the door. Order it in the keyway your system already uses so the new plug stays inside the existing masterkey structure.
4) Is a BEST interchangeable core the same thing as the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
No. The 579K14 252 is a standard cylinder plug, a serviceable component that goes into a CK4429 cylinder body along with its tailpiece and keyway. A BEST 1C5 standard 5-pin cylinder core or a BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core is a removable core that drops into a housing with a control key and is pulled as a unit rather than repinned in place. The BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass. Interchangeable cores require an IC-prepped housing; the Corbin Russwin plug requires the CK4429 cylinder it was built for.
5) If I need a whole replacement cylinder instead of just a plug, what should I order?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14 252 is an individual standard cylinder plug supplied with a new tailpiece and keyway for servicing a CK4429 cylinder, so it only replaces the plug assembly. If the entire cylinder is being swapped out, complete cylinders include the Falcon A23161-05 G key in lever cylinder in a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys, the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in a Schlage C keyway 6-pin, and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security. Those are complete cylinder bodies, not plugs, so the keying has to be set up for the new cylinder rather than carried over from the existing one.
6) What finishes does the 579K14 cylinder plug come in, and will it match my existing hardware?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Both are offered across every keyway, so finish and keyway can be chosen independently. 626 is the usual match for satin chrome/brushed nickel commercial trim; 606 suits brass openings.
7) My cylinder isn't a Corbin Russwin CK4429. What should I be looking at instead?
This plug is keyway- and cylinder-specific to Corbin Russwin CK4429, so it won't serve another brand's housing. For a Schlage opening, the 20-021 rim cylinder (6-pin, vertical tailpiece cam) or 20-022 (horizontal cam) are complete rim cylinders; if your facility runs BEST interchangeable core, the 1C Series standard 5-pin core is the equivalent service item. For Sargent knob and lever cylinders, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is the replacement.
8) Do I need to order a tailpiece separately with the 579K14 plug?
No. A new tailpiece ships with the plug, along with the keyway, so it's a complete replacement assembly for the CK4429 without chasing extra parts.
9) What do I use if the opening needs a rim cylinder rather than a Corbin Russwin plug?
The 579K14 252 plug is intended for servicing a CK4429 cylinder and is not a rim cylinder. For rim applications, the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys, and the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam and 2 keys. If the facility runs full size interchangeable cores, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and 2 keys. Cam orientation must match the exit device or rim lock being driven.
10) For a key-in-knob or key-in-lever retrofit, is there an alternative to the Corbin Russwin plug?
The 579K14 252 is a plug for a CK4429 cylinder and is not a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever retrofits the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. For key-in-deadbolt work the Kaba Ilco 1549 covers that application. The Corbin Russwin plug keeps you inside an existing Corbin Russwin keying system, while the Ilco cylinders are separate cylinder assemblies keyed on their own.
11) I need a high-security or patented-key option instead of a standard Corbin Russwin plug. What is available?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14 252 is a standard cylinder plug offered in keyways 252, 60, 70, 750, 751, 752, 852, 981, 982 and 983 in 606 satin brass or 626 satin chrome. If key control is the goal, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and Medeco offers retrofit cylinders such as the 1065140 5-pin cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Those are complete cores or cylinders on their own key systems rather than a plug that carries an existing Corbin Russwin keyway.
12) Our facility is standardizing on interchangeable cores. What replaces the Corbin Russwin plug approach?
Servicing with the 579K14 252 plug means opening the CK4429 cylinder and replacing the plug, tailpiece and keyway on each door. A core-based program instead uses removable cores: the BEST 1C5 standard 5-pin cylinder core, the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core, and the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. Cores are swapped without disassembling the cylinder, but the openings need IC-prepped housings, so this is a conversion rather than a drop-in substitution for a Corbin Russwin plug.
13) Is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug suitable for commercial and institutional buildings?
Yes, it's specified as a commercial part and it's a genuine Corbin Russwin component, so schools, hospitals, offices and multi-tenant residential stock it as a maintenance item for their Corbin Russwin openings.
14) Will a cylinder pull work in place of the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug on an aluminum storefront?
No, they do different jobs. The 579K14 252 is a replacement plug for a CK4429 cylinder used in commercial door hardware. Cylinder pulls are storefront and narrow stile items: the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847 deadlock, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications with the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. Those are selected by the deadlock they serve, not by Corbin Russwin cylinder compatibility.
15) I only need to fill a cylinder hole with no keying. Is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug the right part?
No. The 579K14 252 is a functioning standard cylinder plug supplied with a tailpiece and keyway so the cylinder can be keyed and operated. For a non-operating opening, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is built for that purpose. The Emtek CY4 cylinder, sold each, is another single-cylinder item to consider when the hardware is Emtek rather than Corbin Russwin.
16) Does the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug work in a Medeco lazy motion rim application?
No. The 579K14 252 plug is built for the Corbin Russwin CK4429 cylinder and its tailpiece is matched to that body. Lazy motion rim applications call for cylinders designed around that motion, such as the Medeco 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, or the Medeco 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Tailpiece style is the deciding factor, so match the cylinder to the lock body rather than adapting a plug.
