Corbin Russwin 596K29 BR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What keyway does the Corbin Russwin 596K29 use, and will my existing keys work?
It is cut for the BR keyway. Your existing keys only operate it if they are BR keyway blanks within the same Corbin Russwin X Class system; a plug in a different keyway family will not accept them. Match the keyway letter stamped on your current plug before you order.
2) Is the 596K29 a complete replacement cylinder or just the plug?
Just the plug. It is a replacement part for a Corbin Russwin cylinder assembly, catalogued for commercial use, and it restores keying in an existing housing. If you need a whole cylinder to install into a lock body, a plug is the wrong item, look for a complete mortise or rim cylinder instead.
3) Can a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder replace a Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug?
No. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 is a cylinder plug only - the keyed plug component that goes inside a Corbin Russwin cylinder assembly used with CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 series mortise locksets. The Schlage 20-021 is a complete 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, a whole cylinder body intended for rim-mounted applications. If the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder housing stays in the door and only the keyed plug is being rekeyed or replaced, the 596K29 in the BR keyway is the part that fits; a rim cylinder is a different assembly entirely.
4) I need a complete mortise cylinder, not just a plug - what should I look at instead of the 596K29?
The 596K29 is a replacement plug for a Corbin Russwin cylinder already in service. For a full mortise cylinder, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Both are complete cylinder bodies keyed to their own systems rather than to Corbin Russwin BR, so choose the 596K29 when the opening must stay on the existing X Class keying.
5) What is the difference between a cylinder plug like the 596K29 and an interchangeable core such as the BEST 1C?
The Corbin Russwin 596K29 is a cylinder plug supplied in 5 and 6-pin configuration with the BR keyway, replaced inside an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder shell. The BEST 1C series standard 5-pin cylinder core is a removable core that drops out of a compatible housing as a unit and is swapped without disassembling the cylinder, and the BEST 1CB is an interchangeable core in the 150 series. Facilities that want key changes made without pinning work at the door generally standardize on interchangeable cores; sites already built on Corbin Russwin X Class keying use the 596K29 plug to keep that keying system intact.
6) Does the 596K29 plug take 5-pin or 6-pin keying?
Both. The 596K29 BR plug supports 5-pin and 6-pin cylinder configurations, so it drops into either keying arrangement within a Corbin Russwin X Class system. Pin it to match the rest of the masterkey system the opening sits in.
7) What finishes is the Corbin Russwin 596K29 cylinder plug offered in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick the one that matches the visible cylinder face on the rest of your Corbin Russwin openings, since the plug face is what shows through the trim.
8) Can I use the 596K29 plug to rekey a rim cylinder on an exit device?
No. This plug is specified for the CL3300 through CL3800 mortise lockset cylinders. For rim applications on exit devices, a rim cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam is the correct part.
9) We standardize on interchangeable core across our buildings. Is this plug the right approach?
No, an X Class plug is a conventional pinned component tied to the Corbin Russwin BR keyway. If you want cores you can pull and swap without disassembling cylinders, look at interchangeable core products such as the BEST 1CB 150 Series core, the BEST 1C 5-pin standard core, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin full size interchangeable core.
10) Is there an equivalent to the 596K29 for Sargent or Schlage key-in-lever locks?
The 596K29 plug is keyed and cut for Corbin Russwin BR and fits the CL3300 through CL3800 lockset families, so it does not cross to other makers. For a Sargent knob or lever, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder made for Sargent. For a Schlage-style key-in-lever, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder.
11) Which cylinder parts look like substitutes for the 596K29 but are not?
Several parts sit in the same cylinder category without being interchangeable with the Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug. The BEST 12E is a dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter and is not keyed at all. The Adams Rite 4025 and 4026 are five pin tumbler cylinder pulls, pull hardware for MS1847 and 5017 wood door deadlocks rather than a loose plug. The Schlage 20-057 is a full size interchangeable core, a different keying platform. Only the 596K29 in the BR keyway drops into a Corbin Russwin X Class cylinder assembly.
12) For a deadbolt rather than a mortise lockset, what takes the place of the 596K29?
The 596K29 plug serves Corbin Russwin CL3300 through CL3800 mortise locksets, not deadbolts. For deadbolt work, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1539 universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder is also listed for deadbolt function. On residential-style handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder and the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts.
13) If key control and drill resistance are the priority, is the 596K29 the right choice?
The 596K29 is a genuine Corbin Russwin plug that keeps an opening on the existing X Class BR keying, offered in Satin Brass 606 and Satin Chrome 626. Where the goal is a patented, restricted key platform instead, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass for the 150 series, and Medeco retrofit cylinders such as the 1065140 5-pin for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders bring Medeco keying to those specific locks. Those are new keying systems, while the 596K29 preserves the one already in the building.
14) Emtek hardware needs a cylinder - does the 596K29 work?
No. The Corbin Russwin 596K29 plug is built for Corbin Russwin cylinder assemblies on the CL3300, CL3500, CL3600, CL3700 and CL3800 series. For Emtek, the Emtek CY4 cylinder is the brand's own part, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece.
