Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 596K29 plug work in a 5-pin cylinder or only 6-pin?
Both. The 596K29 is an individual X Class plug that supports 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, so it covers either security level you are running in your Corbin Russwin CL Series cylinders.
2) What keyway options come on the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug?
It is an A keyway plug, ordered as either A1 or A2. Those are the two keyway choices, and the plug has to match the keyway your existing Corbin Russwin system is keyed to, otherwise your keys will not enter.
3) Can I use the 596K29 plug in a Schlage or BEST cylinder?
No. The 596K29 is keyed to the Corbin Russwin A keyway and machined for Corbin Russwin CL Series cylinders only. For Schlage rim applications you would look at the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with horizontal cam; for a BEST interchangeable core opening, the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core is the equivalent part. Those are separate keying systems and are not interchangeable with Corbin Russwin plugs.
4) I need to rekey a Corbin Russwin CL3300 lever lock but do not want to replace the whole cylinder. Is the 596K29 plug the right part, or should I buy a complete key-in-lever cylinder?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 is the plug only, an individual X Class 5 and 6-pin cylinder plug for CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 Series locks in the A keyway. It is the rotating core of the cylinder that carries the bottom pins and the keyway, so it is what you swap when you are changing keyway or replacing a damaged plug inside an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder housing. If the housing itself is worn or you want a drop-in complete key-in-lever cylinder instead, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a complete key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series in a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys - that is a whole cylinder assembly, not a plug, and it is a Falcon keyway rather than the Corbin Russwin A keyway.
5) Is there a universal replacement cylinder I can use on a key-in-lever lock instead of ordering the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug?
The Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob / lever universal cylinder, built to cover a range of lock brands from one part rather than being tied to one manufacturer's architecture. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 goes the other way: it is an individual X Class plug made specifically for the CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 Series in the A keyway, so it keeps the opening on the existing Corbin Russwin keying system. Choose the 596K29 plug when the door has to stay on the building's Corbin Russwin A keyway masterkey system; the Ilco 1539 is the route when the opening is being taken off that system and keyed on its own.
6) We are standardizing the campus on interchangeable core so maintenance can rekey without a locksmith. What do we buy instead of the 596K29 plug?
The 596K29 27A1 is a fixed X Class plug for Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 Series locks - rekeying it means pinning the plug at the bench. For a small-format interchangeable core program, the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core and the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder are cores pulled and swapped with a control key. The BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series, if the standardization also has to cover key control. All three are BEST core architecture, so they require BEST-compatible housings in the locks rather than dropping into a Corbin Russwin CL cylinder.
7) The door is an aluminum storefront with a mortise deadlock, not a Corbin Russwin lever lock. Is the 596K29 the wrong cylinder part for that?
Yes, it is the wrong family. The 596K29 27A1 plug is built for Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 Series mechanical lever locks in the A keyway. For a narrow stile storefront deadlock, the Adams Rite 4036 is a mortise cylinder with five-pin security, Grade 1, 4036 Series, rated for a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. If the opening uses an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and needs an exterior pull, the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull that mounts with through-screws.
8) What do the 27, 57, 67 and 77 design numbers mean when ordering the 596K29 plug?
Those are the design codes tied to the lever design family on the CL Series lock the plug is going into. The 596K29 is offered in 27, 57, 67 and 77, each in A1 or A2 keyway and either 606 or 626 finish, for 16 combinations total. Match the design number to the lock you are servicing so the plug seats correctly in that cylinder.
9) I need to rekey a Corbin Russwin CL3600 lock. Is a plug what I should be buying, or a whole cylinder?
A plug is the right part when the cylinder housing in the lock is sound and you only need to change the keying or replace a worn or damaged plug. It is sold as a replacement part for existing installations. If the housing itself is damaged, or you are converting to a different cylinder format, you need a complete cylinder rather than the 596K29 plug.
10) My building uses interchangeable cores. Is the 596K29 an IC plug?
No. The 596K29 is an individual X Class plug for conventional Corbin Russwin CL Series cylinders, serviced by pulling the cylinder. If you want the tool-free core swap that maintenance departments standardize on, look at a full size interchangeable core product instead, such as the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam, or the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core.
11) Will the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug work in an exit device rim cylinder?
No. The 596K29 27A1 is an individual X Class plug for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 Series lever locks in the A keyway, which is a different body and cam arrangement from a rim cylinder. For a rim application, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with two keys, and the 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Match the tailpiece orientation to what the device requires.
12) I need a replacement cylinder for a deadbolt, not a lever lock. What takes the place of the 596K29 there?
The 596K29 27A1 plug serves Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 Series lever locks. For deadbolt work, the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, both catalogued for deadbolt function. If the deadbolt needs a high security core, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder made for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts.
13) What is the difference between ordering the 596K29 plug and a full size interchangeable core like the Schlage 20-057?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 is a plug - the pinned rotating element that sits inside an existing CL3300 through CL3800 Series cylinder in the A keyway, and it is replaced at the bench with the lock apart. 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 a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish. FSIC cores are removed and replaced with a control key without disassembling the lock, which is the practical difference for a maintenance crew.
14) Is the 596K29 plug suitable for a high-traffic commercial building or is it residential grade?
It is a commercial part, built to Corbin Russwin's standards for institutional and commercial door hardware. Typical use is office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities and hospitality properties already running CL Series locks.
15) I need a non-keyed filler for a door where the cylinder position is unused. Would I just order a 596K29 plug uncut?
A dummy cylinder is the cleaner answer for that. The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder measures 1-5/32 inch in diameter and is built to fill the prep without keyed function. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 is a working 5 and 6-pin X Class plug intended to be pinned to the A keyway and carry a key in CL3300 through CL3800 Series locks, so it is the part to order when the opening is actually being keyed.
16) The wood door deadlock in our storefront vestibule needs a keyed pull. Is there an option other than the Corbin Russwin plug?
Yes. The Adams Rite 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch, so it addresses a keyed pull on a wood door directly. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27A1 is not a pull at all - it is the individual X Class plug that goes inside a CL3300 through CL3800 Series lock cylinder on the A keyway.
