Corbin Russwin 579K14 59C1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug, and is it a complete cylinder?
The 579K14 is an individual standard cylinder plug, not a complete cylinder. It's the keyed plug that drops into an existing CK4429 cylinder housing, and it ships with a new tailpiece. If you need a whole cylinder body for a new opening, this isn't it; order this when the housing is already in the door and you're replacing or rekeying the plug.
2) Which keyway do I order for a Corbin Russwin 59C system?
The plug is cut to the 59C keyway family, and you pick the section on the order: C1 or C2. Both come in either 606 satin brass or 626 satin chrome. Match the section already in use on the building's keying system, or the key won't enter.
3) Will this plug let me key a door into my existing Corbin Russwin master key system?
It can, as long as your system runs on the 59C keyway and you order the matching C1 or C2 section. The plug carries the 59C key profile for Corbin Russwin keying systems and takes 5-pin or 6-pin pinning, so a locksmith can pin it to your existing master and change key combination.
4) Can a Kaba Ilco 1579 or 1599 replacement cylinder be used instead of a Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
No - they solve different problems. The Corbin Russwin 579K14 59C1 is an individual standard cylinder plug for the CK4429 cylinder, supplied with a new tailpiece and cut to the 59C keyway; it goes inside an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder housing. The Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent - both are complete cylinders that replace the whole assembly rather than just the plug. If the CK4429 housing is sound and you only need to re-plug or re-keyway it, the 579K14 is the part; if you are replacing the cylinder outright, look at a complete cylinder instead.
5) I need a 6-pin mortise cylinder for a Schlage C keyway opening, not a Corbin Russwin plug. What should I order?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14 is cut to the 59C keyway for Corbin Russwin keying systems, so it will not key into a Schlage C system. For a Schlage C keyway opening, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Confirm the mortise cylinder length and cam your lock case requires before ordering.
6) My opening is an aluminum storefront deadlock, not a Corbin Russwin cylinder. What cylinder fits that?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14 is a commercial replacement plug for CK4429 cylinders and is not a storefront part. For Adams Rite storefront hardware, the 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series with five-pin security and a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the 4024 and 4025 cylinder pulls are built for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch - the 4025 being a five pin tumbler pull with through-screws. For a wood door deadlock, the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is made for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch.
7) Does the 579K14 come in 5-pin or 6-pin?
Both. The 579K14 plug is configured to support 5-pin and 6-pin applications, so it works whether your Corbin Russwin system is keyed at five or six pins.
8) I need a whole replacement cylinder, not just a plug. What should I look at instead?
If the housing is damaged or you're cylindering a new device, you want a complete cylinder rather than the 579K14 plug. ZenSupply carries full cylinders such as the Schlage Commercial 20-021 6-pin rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam, the 20-022 with horizontal cam, the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 Grade 1 mortise cylinder. Note those are other manufacturers' keyways, so they won't key into a Corbin Russwin 59C system.
9) Can I use an interchangeable core instead of this standard plug?
Not in a CK4429 housing. The 579K14 is a standard plug format, which is a different architecture from a removable core. If your facility wants field-swappable cores for key control, that's a separate cylinder platform, for example the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core, the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, or a Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC core. Moving to cores means changing the cylinder, not just the plug.
10) Do I have to reuse the old tailpiece when I swap this plug in?
No. A new tailpiece ships with the 579K14, so you're not transferring the worn one off the old plug. That matters because the tailpiece is what actuates the lock, and a rounded or bent one is a common cause of a cylinder that turns but doesn't throw the bolt.
11) What is the interchangeable-core alternative if I do not want to re-pin plugs in the field?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14 is a standard plug that is pinned and installed into a CK4429 cylinder housing. If the goal is to swap keying without touching pins, an interchangeable core platform suits better: the BEST 1CB is a Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented 7-pin interchangeable core in the 150 Series, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway. Those require IC-prepped housings, which a CK4429 standard cylinder is not.
12) Does the tailpiece included with the 579K14 mean it works like a rim cylinder?
No. The 579K14 59C1 ships with a new tailpiece to drive the CK4429 cylinder it is built for, and it is a plug rather than a complete cylinder. A true rim cylinder is a different part: the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, each supplied with 2 keys. Order a rim cylinder for rim exit device applications, and the 579K14 only for CK4429 cylinder service.
13) For a residential-style handleset or deadbolt retrofit, is the 579K14 the right cylinder part?
No - the 579K14 59C1 is a commercial component for Corbin Russwin CK4429 cylinders. Retrofit cylinders for handlesets and deadbolts are a separate family: the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders. Pick by the lock brand you are retrofitting.
14) What is the closest equivalent to the 579K14 for a key-in-lever cylinder on a Falcon lock?
There is no cross-brand equal to the 579K14 59C1, since it is a plug machined for the Corbin Russwin CK4429 and the 59C keyway. The parallel part on the Falcon side is the A23161-05 G key in lever cylinder, an RU/T Series 6-pin cylinder in the G keyway supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys. Both serve key-in-lever service work, but each is keyed and dimensioned to its own manufacturer's lock.
15) Is a BEST 1C5 core a substitute for a Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug in a 5-pin application?
No. Both are 5-pin capable - the 579K14 supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations - but the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin interchangeable core, a self-contained core that drops into a figure-eight core housing. The 579K14 is a plug that installs into a CK4429 standard cylinder shell and carries the 59C keyway. The two are not interchangeable in either housing.
16) What finishes are available on this cylinder plug?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome, each offered in the C1 and C2 keyway sections. Pick the finish that matches the visible cylinder face on the rest of the openings, since the plug face is what shows.
17) Is this a residential part or commercial door hardware?
Commercial. Corbin Russwin lists the 579K14 as a commercial-grade mechanical lock replacement part, and it's the kind of thing used in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, warehouses and multi-tenant residential.
18) I just need a non-functioning cylinder to fill a hole - is the 579K14 the cheapest way to do that?
The 579K14 59C1 is a working keyed plug with a 59C keyway and tailpiece, so it is more part than a filler needs. For a blank opening where no key function is required, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the purpose-built option. Verify the prep diameter in the door or device before choosing.
