Corbin Russwin 579K14 A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug, and does it come with pins or a full cylinder?
It's the plug only, the rotating core piece that the key enters, supplied as an individual standard cylinder plug rather than a complete cylinder assembly. Corbin Russwin builds it for the CK4429 cylinder with the new tailpiece design, and it works in both 5-pin and 6-pin setups. If you need a whole keyed cylinder rather than a service part, this isn't it.
2) Which Corbin Russwin keyways can I order the 579K14 plug in?
All 24 of the A-family keyways: A1 through A24. Order the plug in the same keyway as the master key system already running in the building so the plug drops into your existing keying program.
3) Can I use this plug to rekey a Corbin Russwin cylinder that isn't a CK4429?
No. The 579K14-A1 plug is engineered specifically for the CK4429 cylinder with the new tailpiece, so it's a direct replacement there and not a general-purpose Corbin Russwin plug. Identify the cylinder in the door first; if it isn't a CK4429 with the new tailpiece, you need the plug specified for that cylinder instead.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug a replacement for a whole cylinder, or do I need a complete cylinder assembly?
The 579K14-A1 is an individual standard cylinder plug supplied on its own for rekeying or servicing a CK4429 cylinder, not a complete cylinder. If the job calls for a full cylinder rather than a plug, a complete unit such as the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, 1-1/8 inch 6-pin, or the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam is the format to order instead. Keep in mind those are different keyways from the Corbin Russwin A keyway family, so they will not key into an existing A keyway master key system.
5) We want to stop pinning plugs and move to interchangeable cores. What replaces a Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug approach?
The 579K14 plug is a conventional standard plug that gets pinned to the site keyway and dropped into a CK4429 cylinder. A small-format interchangeable core program works differently: the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin core and the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core pull out with a control key, so rekeying is a core swap rather than a bench operation. For full-size interchangeable core, the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam covers the rim opening. All of these are separate keying systems from the Corbin Russwin A keyway, so a conversion means rekeying the affected doors.
6) Will the 579K14 plug work in a 5-pin cylinder, or do I need the 6-pin version?
One plug covers both. The 579K14 is built to accommodate 5-pin and 6-pin cylinder configurations, so a locksmith stocking it can service either pinning depth on CK4429 cylinders without carrying two part numbers.
7) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug come in, and which matches my existing cylinders?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. 626 satin chrome is the common match for brushed chrome and satin nickel trim on commercial openings, 606 for brass hardware. Since only the plug face shows in the cylinder, match it to the cylinder housing already in the door.
8) I need a complete replacement cylinder, not just a plug. What else do you carry?
Go to a full cylinder instead of this service part. For rim applications the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 is the same in horizontal. If your facility runs interchangeable cores, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and BEST offers the 1C Series standard 5-pin core. For a mortise cylinder, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin in Schlage C keyway. None of these are Corbin Russwin A keyway, so they will not key into an existing A-keyway system.
9) Why does the tailpiece matter when ordering a 579K14 plug?
The tailpiece is what turns the lock mechanism when the key rotates, so it has to match the version in your cylinder. This plug carries the new tailpiece design for the CK4429. If you pull an older CK4429 with the previous tailpiece, the engagement won't be right and you need the plug built for that version.
10) I need a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder, not a plug. What should I order?
The Corbin Russwin 579K14-A1 is a plug for the CK4429 cylinder and is not a knob or lever cylinder. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever work, the Kaba Ilco 1539 series is a universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks. On Falcon RU/T series hardware, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder, 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys.
11) What looks like a substitute for the 579K14 plug but is not?
Anything described as a cylinder pull or a dummy. The Adams Rite 4025 and 4026 are five pin tumbler cylinder pulls, the 4025 with through-screws for the MS1847 deadlock and the 4026 for the 5017 wood door deadlock, and the Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for MS1847 systems. Those are pull assemblies for narrow stile and wood door deadlocks, not plugs. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, has no keying function at all. The 579K14-A1 is a keyed standard plug, 5 and 6-pin, with the new tailpiece for the CK4429.
12) The opening is a deadbolt or handleset, not a Corbin Russwin mortise cylinder. What cylinder fits instead?
The 579K14-A1 plug serves the CK4429 cylinder and will not address residential-style deadbolts or handlesets. For those, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders. On Emtek hardware with its own tailpiece, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with Emtek tailpiece, and the Emtek CY4 is the brand's own cylinder sold each.
13) I need a Grade 1 mortise cylinder for a narrow stile aluminum door. Does the Corbin Russwin 579K14 cover that?
No. The 579K14-A1 is a plug component for the CK4429 cylinder, supplied in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome across the A1 through A24 keyways. For a narrow stile aluminum opening needing a complete keyed mortise cylinder, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a five-pin Grade 1 unit in the 4036 series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness.
14) Is there a higher-security alternative if key control is the concern?
The 579K14-A1 is a standard plug built to Corbin Russwin commercial standards for the CK4429 cylinder and works within existing A keyway master key programs. Where the driver is key control and physical attack resistance rather than matching an existing A keyway, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core, 7-pin, brass, 150 series. That is a patented-key platform on its own keying system, so adopting it means a separate key program from the A keyway doors.
15) What is the difference between the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders if I am replacing a rim device cylinder instead of a plug?
Both are Schlage commercial 6-pin rim cylinders supplied with two keys; the 20-021 has a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 has a horizontal tailpiece cam, so the choice follows the cam orientation the exit device requires. If instead you are staying with a full size interchangeable core rim, the Schlage 20-057 uses a convertible tailpiece cam and the 20-057-C is an FSIC core in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. None of these replaces the Corbin Russwin 579K14-A1, which is a plug for the CK4429 cylinder.
16) Can I use a Kaba Ilco 1549 deadbolt cylinder in place of the Corbin Russwin 579K14 plug?
No. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder in the 1549 series, a complete cylinder for deadbolt function openings. The Corbin Russwin 579K14-A1 is a standalone standard plug, 5 and 6-pin, with the new tailpiece, made to drop into a CK4429 cylinder and be pinned to an A keyway program. They serve different points in the assembly and are not interchangeable.
