Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Corbin Russwin locks does the 596K29 cylinder plug fit?
The 596K29 plug is made for Corbin Russwin cylinders used on the CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 mechanical lock series. It is a plug only, not a complete cylinder, so you are rebuilding or rekeying an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder body rather than replacing the lock.
2) What is the difference between the B1 and B2 keyway options on the 596K29 plug?
Both are Corbin Russwin B keyway family profiles, and they are ordered separately: B1 and B2 are the two keyway choices offered. The plug's keyway has to match the key section already in use on the building's system, or the existing keys will not enter. Pick the section stamped on your current plug or specified on your keying schedule.
3) What does the pin depth number mean when ordering a 596K29 plug, and which one do I need?
Pin depth here is the bottom-pin depth the plug is supplied for, and four are offered: 27, 57, 67 and 77. A locksmith picks the depth that matches the first cut on the change key or master key being used, so the plug pins up correctly in the existing system. If you are servicing a masterkeyed facility, take the depth from your keying records, not by eye.
4) Can a BEST 1C5 core be used instead of a Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 plug to rekey a CL3300 lock?
No. The 596K29 27B1 is a 5 and 6-pin individual cylinder plug built for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 cylinders with a B keyway, so it drops into the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder shell. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin interchangeable core from the BEST standard and premium cores line, which requires a BEST interchangeable core housing rather than a Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinder. Use the 596K29 plug when you are servicing the Corbin Russwin cylinder you already have in the door.
5) I need a whole replacement cylinder for a key-in-lever lock, not just the plug. What should I look at?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 is only the cylinder plug, the keyed core barrel inside a CL-series cylinder. If the complete cylinder is damaged, a full key-in-lever cylinder such as the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder, or the Falcon A23161-05 G six-pin G keyway key-in-lever cylinder replaces the assembly rather than just the plug. Those are separate lock platforms, so confirm the lock they are going into before ordering.
6) What mortise cylinder would I use on an aluminum storefront deadlock, since the 596K29 plug will not fit?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 plug is made for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 lock cylinders, which are not storefront deadlock hardware. For an aluminum storefront deadlock, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a Grade 1 five-pin cylinder in the 4036 Series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Adams Rite also lists the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems.
7) Can the 596K29 plug be used in both 5-pin and 6-pin Corbin Russwin cylinders?
Yes. The plug supports 5-pin and 6-pin arrangements, so the same part number covers both pinning setups within the compatible CL-series cylinders. That matters in mixed facilities where some openings were pinned 5 and later work went to 6.
8) What finishes does the 596K29 plug come in, and will it match my existing lock trim?
Two finishes are offered: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. The plug face is the only visible part once installed, so match it to the existing cylinder face, not necessarily the whole lockset. 626 pairs with satin chrome and brushed nickel trim; 606 with satin brass and bronze-tone trim.
9) I need to rekey a Corbin Russwin lock but not stay on the B keyway. What are my options?
The 596K29 plug keeps you inside the Corbin Russwin B keyway system, which is the point of it: existing keys and master keying stay intact. If you want to move an opening off Corbin Russwin keying entirely, you are replacing the cylinder, not the plug. For a change to Schlage C, the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder is listed with a Schlage C keyway in a 1-1/8 inch, 6-pin commercial build. For a small-format interchangeable core program, BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cores are an alternative approach to key control.
10) Does the 596K29 plug come with keys or pins?
It's sold as the plug itself, a genuine Corbin Russwin cylinder component. Pinning and key cutting are done by your locksmith to your existing system. If you need a cylinder that arrives keyed with cut keys, look at a complete cylinder instead, such as the Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder, which is listed with two keys.
11) Is a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder an equivalent to the Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1?
No. The Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, a complete cylinder that mounts through the door behind rim exit hardware. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 is an individual X Class plug that goes inside an existing Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 cylinder with a B keyway. They serve different points in the lock, so one does not stand in for the other.
12) I want to move this opening to an interchangeable core system instead of rekeying plugs. What are the options?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 keeps the opening on a conventional keyed plug that is pinned to the B keyway inside the CL-series cylinder. If you would rather swap cores by hand in the future, the BEST 1CB Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam are core-based platforms. Each requires housings that accept that maker's core, so it is a hardware change rather than a plug swap.
13) Will a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder work in a Corbin Russwin CL3600 lock?
The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway, so it is keyed to a different system than the Corbin Russwin B keyway that the 596K29 27B1 plug carries. If the building is keyed on Corbin Russwin B, the 596K29 27B1 plug keeps the CL3300 through CL3800 cylinders on that keyway; the MC65 would put that door on a separate key.
14) I need a retrofit cylinder for an Emtek handleset, not a Corbin Russwin plug. What fits?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 plug only serves Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinders. For Emtek hardware the Emtek CY4 cylinder is the brand's own part, and Medeco lists the 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, plus the 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece.
15) Can I use the 596K29 27B1 plug in a deadbolt?
The 596K29 27B1 is specified for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 mechanical lock cylinders, not for deadbolt bodies. For deadbolt cylinders the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series key-in-deadbolt cylinder is listed with a deadbolt function, and Medeco offers the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts and the 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts.
16) Is the 596K29 plug a commercial part or will it work on residential locks?
It's a commercial replacement part, sold for servicing Corbin Russwin CL-series mechanical locks in offices, schools, healthcare, government and multi-tenant buildings. It will not fit residential-grade knobs or deadbolts from other brands.
17) Is there a Sargent equivalent to the 596K29 plug for knob and lever locks?
For Sargent knob and lever locks the Kaba Ilco 1579 Series knob and lever cylinder is the cylinder listed for that brand. It is a complete cylinder rather than a plug, while the Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 is an individual X Class plug pinned to the B keyway for CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 cylinders. Match the part to the lock brand already hung on the door.
18) What is the difference between the 596K29 plug and a dummy cylinder like the BEST 12E?
The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder measures 1-5/32 inch in diameter and is a non-keyed filler used where a cylinder look is needed without a working key. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 is a working 5 and 6-pin keyed plug that carries the B keyway and the key control for CL3300 through CL3800 cylinders. Choose the 596K29 plug wherever the opening must actually operate by key.
19) For a wood door deadlock, is the 596K29 plug the right part?
No. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 27B1 plug is a service part for Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinders. A wood door deadlock of the Adams Rite type takes the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull, which is listed for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch.
