Corbin Russwin 579K14 59A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug, and is it a complete cylinder?
It is the plug only, not a whole cylinder. The 579K14 is an individual standard cylinder plug (the keyed core barrel) supplied as a replacement part for the CK4429 cylinder, with the new tailpiece configuration. If a cylinder housing is damaged or you need a complete keyed cylinder, this part will not cover that job.
2) Will the 579K14 plug work in a CK4429 cylinder with an older tailpiece?
The 579K14 is built for the CK4429 with the new tailpiece configuration. If the cylinder in the door uses the earlier tailpiece style, the tailpiece engagement with the lock mechanism will not match and you need the old-tailpiece version of the plug instead. Pull the cylinder and compare the tailpiece before ordering.
3) My Corbin Russwin building keys are 59A1 - is this the right plug?
Yes, the 579K14 offered here is cut for the 59A1 keyway, so it accepts Corbin Russwin 59A1 key blanks and drops into an existing 59A1 master key system. A cylinder keyed to a different Corbin Russwin section will not take 59A1 keys, so the keyway has to match the system you are keying into.
4) If the whole cylinder is damaged rather than just the plug, what should be installed instead of the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
The 579K14 is an individual standard cylinder plug supplied for targeted replacement so a single cylinder can be serviced without replacing full hardware. If the cylinder shell, pin chambers, or housing are damaged, a complete cylinder is the right call instead. For a key-in-knob or key-in-lever opening, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder. For a rim device, the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with two keys, and the Schlage 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam.
5) Can a Schlage or BEST cylinder be used in place of the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
No. The 579K14 is built specifically for the CK4429 cylinder and carries the 59A1 keyway, so it only accepts matching Corbin Russwin key blanks and master key systems. A Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is a C keyway core, and BEST cores such as the 1C5 standard 5-pin core belong to a separate interchangeable core platform. Those are complete cores for their own housings, not plugs that drop into a CK4429 cylinder.
6) For an aluminum storefront deadlock, is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug the right part?
No. The 579K14 is a replacement plug for the Corbin Russwin CK4429 cylinder used in Corbin Russwin mechanical lock cylinders. Storefront deadlocks take a different cylinder format: the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the Adams Rite 4024 and 4025 are cylinder pulls made for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, the 4025 mounting with through-screws and the 4024 with a trim plate.
7) Does the 579K14 plug take 5-pin or 6-pin keying?
Both. The plug is drilled to accept 5-pin and 6-pin arrangements, so it can be pinned to a 5-pin building system or a 6-pin master key system without switching part numbers.
8) Can I use the 579K14 plug on residential locks or non-Corbin cylinders?
No. It is a commercial-grade component matched to the Corbin Russwin CK4429 cylinder. It is not a universal replacement cylinder. For a universal key-in-knob or lever retrofit across other brands, a Kaba Ilco 1539 Series universal cylinder is the type of part to look at instead, and Kaba Ilco also makes the 1579 for Sargent locks.
9) I need a rim cylinder for an exit device, not a Corbin plug - what should I be looking at?
The 579K14 is a cylinder plug for a CK4429 cylinder and will not serve as a rim cylinder for an exit device. For that, look at a rim cylinder built for the job: Schlage Commercial 20-021 (6-pin, vertical tailpiece cam) or 20-022 (6-pin, horizontal tailpiece cam), depending on which cam orientation your device needs. If the facility runs interchangeable cores, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam.
10) Is swapping the plug enough, or do I have to replace the whole lock?
Replacing just the plug lets you rekey or restore one CK4429 cylinder without pulling the lock body or buying new hardware, which is why it is sold as an individual standard plug. You will still need the pins, springs and a cut key for the 59A1 system, since those are not part of the plug itself.
11) What is the difference between the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug and a full size interchangeable core like the Schlage 20-057?
The 579K14 is a 5 and 6-pin standard cylinder plug that is fitted into the CK4429 cylinder body during service, so rekeying means disassembling the cylinder. The Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam supplied with two keys, and the 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway; interchangeable core designs let a control key pull the core for a change of keying without taking the lock apart. The two approaches are not cross-compatible.
12) Our deadbolts need new cylinders - can the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug be used, or is there a better match?
The 579K14 is a plug for the CK4429 cylinder with a new tailpiece configuration, not a deadbolt cylinder assembly. For deadbolt service, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, both listed with a deadbolt function. On residential-style handlesets and deadbolts, Medeco offers the 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder and the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts.
13) Does the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug work in a key-in-lever trim the way a Falcon cylinder does?
The 579K14 is a plug for the CK4429 cylinder in Corbin Russwin systems and follows the 59A1 keyway. A key-in-lever cylinder for another manufacturer is a different assembly entirely - the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. Keyway and host cylinder both have to match, so the two are not interchangeable.
14) For higher security or drill resistance, what is the alternative to the Corbin Russwin 579K14 standard plug?
The 579K14 is a standard plug, built to Corbin Russwin commercial standards for the CK4429 cylinder. Where a facility wants patent-protected key control and drill resistance, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core with 7 pins in brass, 150 series, and the BEST Peaks 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder. Those change the keying platform for the opening rather than servicing the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder.
15) What mortise cylinder should be ordered if the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug does not fit the lock body?
The 579K14 is dimensioned for the CK4429 cylinder only, so if the lock takes a standard mortise cylinder the plug will not serve. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder rated for doors 1/2 inch and thicker. Confirm the cam and keyway your system uses before ordering either.
16) The Corbin Russwin 579K14 lists a new tailpiece - what other cylinders are tailpiece-specific?
The 579K14 uses a new tailpiece configuration so it engages the lock mechanism correctly in a CK4429 cylinder. Tailpiece matching matters on several comparable cylinders too: the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece, the Schlage 20-021 uses a vertical tailpiece cam while the 20-022 uses a horizontal one, and the Schlage 20-057 uses a convertible tailpiece cam. Ordering the wrong tailpiece is the most common cause of a cylinder that seats but will not throw the bolt.
17) If the facility wants to move to interchangeable cores instead of rekeying plugs, what are the options?
A plug swap like the 579K14 keeps you in a standard (fixed) cylinder setup, so each rekey means service at the door. If you would rather pull and swap cores, BEST small-format interchangeable core products cover that: the 1C Series standard 5-pin core, the Peaks 1CB 150 Series core, or the 1CDF drill-resistant patented 7-pin brass core for higher-security areas. Note that moving to cores means changing cylinder housings, not just plugs.
18) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug come in, and how does that compare to nearby cylinder options?
The 579K14 5 and 6-pin standard cylinder plug is offered in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, which lets it coordinate with matching Corbin Russwin hardware on the opening. Among comparable cylinders, the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is offered in 643E aged bronze, a darker tone that would not match a satin brass or satin chrome trim set.
19) Is there a non-keyed option if an opening only needs the appearance of a cylinder rather than a working Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
The 579K14 is a functioning 5 and 6-pin standard plug intended to restore cylinder operation in a CK4429. Where an opening needs a cylinder face with no keyed function, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep without operating a lock.
