Corbin Russwin 596K29 57C1 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug work in my CL3300 lever lock cylinder?
Yes. The 596K29 X Class cylinder plug is made for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 series locks, so a CL3300 cylinder is a direct application. It is the plug only, a replacement component for rekeying or servicing an existing cylinder rather than a complete cylinder assembly.
2) Does the 596K29 plug take 5-pin or 6-pin?
Both. The 596K29 is machined to accept 5-pin and 6-pin configurations, so it can be pinned to whatever depth your existing Corbin Russwin system uses without changing plug part numbers.
3) What keyway do I get, and what are the C1 and C2 choices?
The plug is cut to the 57C keyway family, ordered as either C1 or C2. Pick the one that matches the key section already in use on the building's Corbin Russwin system, because a plug in the wrong section will not accept your existing keys.
4) I need to rekey a Corbin Russwin lock to a different key section. Do I buy a whole new cylinder?
Not necessarily. Changing key sections normally means changing the plug, and the 596K29 is sold as an individual X Class plug for exactly that, so you can move a CL-series cylinder to a 57C C1 or C2 section without replacing the housing or the lockset. You will still need to supply your own pins, springs and cut keys.
5) Is this a complete cylinder I can drop into a rim exit device?
No. The 596K29 is the plug alone, a cylinder part for CL-series mortise and cylindrical locks. For a rim device you want a complete rim cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam.
6) Is there a Corbin Russwin 596K29 equivalent from another brand for a CL3300 lever lock?
No. The 596K29 is an Individual X Class cylinder plug machined to the Corbin Russwin 57C keyway and built to work in CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 cylinders, so it is keyway- and platform-specific to Corbin Russwin. The closest thing other makers offer is a complete replacement cylinder rather than a plug: Kaba Ilco's 1579 knob and lever cylinder is built for Sargent locks, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Those swap the whole cylinder out; the 596K29 lets you service and rekey the Corbin Russwin cylinder you already have.
7) I need to rekey a whole building - should I use the 596K29 plug or move to interchangeable cores?
The 596K29 is a replacement plug you pin at the bench or in the field to service an existing Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinder, so rekeying means handling each cylinder. If you would rather swap cores without disassembly, interchangeable-core products are the other path: the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill-resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, and Schlage's 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam. Those are a different keying system, not a drop-in for a Corbin Russwin 57C plug.
8) My opening is a rim exit device, not a CL-series lever - what do I order instead of the 596K29?
The 596K29 is a cylinder plug for Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 lock cylinders, so it does not address a rim device. For a rim application, Schlage's 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; pick the cam orientation your device requires. The BEST 12E is a dummy rim cylinder at 1-5/32 inch diameter where no keyed function is needed.
9) Is there an interchangeable core alternative if I want to stop pulling locks apart to rekey?
If key control and fast rekeying matter more than staying on the Corbin Russwin conventional platform, a small format interchangeable core system is the other route. ZenSupply carries the BEST 1C 5-pin standard core and the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, plus the Schlage 20-057 full size interchangeable core rim cylinder. Those let you swap a core by hand instead of repinning a plug, but they are a different system and will not accept your 57C keys.
10) What is the actual part number to order for the Corbin Russwin X Class plug?
The model is 596K29 57C1 for the C1 section, with C2 available on the same 596K29 plug. Specify pin count (5 or 6), keyway section, and finish (606 or 626) when you order.
11) Can I use a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in place of the Corbin Russwin 596K29?
No - they are different parts. The MC65 is a complete 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. The 596K29 is only the plug inside a Corbin Russwin cylinder, cut for the 57C keyway and sized for 5- and 6-pin builds in CL3300 through CL3800 locks. A mortise cylinder threads into a mortise lock case; the plug goes inside the cylinder you already have, and the keyways are not interchangeable.
12) What should I order if I need a full keyed mortise cylinder rather than a service plug?
The 596K29 is a replacement cylinder plug, an OEM service component for Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinders. If the job calls for a complete cylinder, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 Series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin 1-1/8 inch commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Both are standalone cylinders on their own keyways, so they will not key into a Corbin Russwin 57C system.
13) Will a Kaba Ilco 1539 universal cylinder work on a Corbin Russwin CL3600 lever?
The Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder in the 1539 Series and replaces the cylinder assembly, not the plug. The 596K29 is the plug itself, machined to the 57C keyway for 5- and 6-pin Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 cylinders. If you are keeping the opening on an existing Corbin Russwin 57C master key system, the 596K29 is the part that stays in that system; the 1539 brings its own keyway.
14) The lock is a deadbolt, not a CL-series lever - is the 596K29 still the right plug?
No. The 596K29 plug is specified for Corbin Russwin CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 lock cylinders. For deadbolt openings, Kaba Ilco's 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder with a deadbolt function, and Medeco's 1075127 is a 5-pin rim-type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Medeco's 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder built for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts.
15) For an aluminum storefront with an Adams Rite MS deadlock, do I need a 596K29?
No - that opening takes a cylinder pull or mortise cylinder rather than a Corbin Russwin CL-series plug. The Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, and the 4025 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder pull using through-screws for the MS1847. For a wood door with the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch, the 4026 five-pin cylinder pull is the match. The 596K29 serves Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 cylinders on the 57C keyway.
16) What finishes does the 596K29 cylinder plug come in?
Two: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Both C1 and C2 keyways are offered in each finish. Match the plug face to the surrounding cylinder and trim so the visible key face does not stand out on the door.
17) Is this plug suitable for a high traffic commercial building?
It is a commercial-grade part, an OEM Corbin Russwin cylinder component used in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, warehouses and multi-tenant residential. Facilities standardized on CL3300 through CL3800 locks can stock one plug number across all of those openings.
18) Is a BEST 1C5 core the same kind of part as the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug?
They fill similar roles in different systems. The BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core from the Standard and Premium Cores line, pulled and swapped as a unit. The 596K29 is an Individual X Class plug accepting 5-pin and 6-pin configurations on the 57C keyway for Corbin Russwin CL-series cylinders, available in 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. One is a BEST-format core; the other is a Corbin Russwin plug, and neither fits the other's housing.
19) I need a Falcon lever cylinder, not a Corbin Russwin plug - what is the difference?
The Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series, 6-pin in the G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 is a plug only, taking 5-pin or 6-pin pinning on the 57C keyway for CL3300 through CL3800 cylinders, and is a replacement part for servicing rather than a keyed assembly with keys. Match the brand and keyway of the lock in the door.
