Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR, a full cylinder or just the plug?
It's the cylinder plug only, supplied as an individual replacement part for servicing a CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinder. You are not getting a complete lock or a complete cylinder housing. Locksmiths buy it to rebuild or rekey an existing CL3300 cylinder assembly instead of replacing the whole lock.
2) Will the 596K30 BR plug work in a Corbin Russwin hotel-function lock?
No. The 596K30 BR is built for CL3300 Non-Hotel series locks. Hotel-function cylinders use different plug configurations, so ordering this one for a hotel lock gets you a part that doesn't belong in that assembly.
3) Is the 596K30 BR keyway going to match my existing Corbin Russwin keys?
Only if your system is on the BR keyway. This plug is cut for BR, so it keys into a Corbin Russwin BR key system. If your building is mastered on a different Corbin Russwin keyway, the BR plug will not accept those keys and you need the plug for your own keyway.
4) Can a BEST 1CDF interchangeable core be used in place of the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR cylinder plug?
No. The Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR is a 7-pin individual X Class cylinder plug made to drop into Corbin Russwin CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinders on the BR keyway, so it is a component of an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder rather than a complete core. The BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in the 1CDF Series, a complete 7-pin brass core that seats in BEST-style figure-eight IC housings. Both are 7-pin, but they serve different housings, so the BEST core does not service a CL3300 cylinder.
5) What is the difference between a cylinder plug like the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR and a complete mortise cylinder such as the Detex MC65?
The 596K30 BR is a replacement plug - the keyed core assembly that goes inside an existing Corbin Russwin cylinder, supplied as an individual part so a CL3300 Non-Hotel cylinder can be serviced without replacing the whole lock. The Detex MC65 is a complete mortise cylinder, 1-1/8 inch with a Schlage C keyway and 6 pins, that threads into a mortise lock case as a finished assembly. If the existing Corbin Russwin cylinder body is being kept, the plug is the matching part; if the entire cylinder is being replaced, a full mortise cylinder is the format.
6) For a key-in-lever lock that is not a Corbin Russwin CL3300, what cylinder should be used instead of the 596K30 BR?
The 596K30 BR plug is keyed to the BR keyway and engineered specifically for Corbin Russwin CL3300 Non-Hotel locks, so it will not serve another manufacturer's lever lock. For key-in-lever work on other platforms, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different and supplied with two cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1579 is the knob and lever cylinder intended for Sargent locks.
7) I need a keyed cylinder for an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock - is the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR usable there?
No. The 596K30 BR is a Corbin Russwin plug matched to CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinders. For an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch, the cylinder pulls are the correct parts: the 4024 uses trim plate mounting and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws, both designed for the MS1847. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is designed for the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch.
8) How many pins does the Corbin Russwin 596K30 plug take, and does that matter for masterkeying?
Seven pins, in the X Class configuration. The extra chamber over a 6-pin plug gives you more room for master and grand-master levels, which is why it shows up in commercial buildings running a layered key system. Your pinning kit and key blanks have to be the 7-pin X Class BR type to service it.
9) I need a replaceable core instead of pinning a plug. What should I look at?
A plug like the 596K30 BR has to be pinned by a locksmith. If you'd rather swap cores in the field without a pinning kit, look at an interchangeable core product instead, such as the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core or the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin core. Those are different key systems, though, so they suit a facility being rekeyed rather than one already mastered on Corbin Russwin BR.
10) Can I use the 596K30 BR in an exit device rim housing?
No. It's a plug for CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinders, not a rim cylinder. For an exit device you want an actual rim cylinder with the right cam, for example the Schlage 20-021 6-pin rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with the horizontal cam, depending on which the device calls for.
11) Is a Schlage 20-057 FSIC rim cylinder an alternative to the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR?
They fit different openings. The 596K30 BR is a 7-pin X Class plug that goes into a Corbin Russwin CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinder on the BR keyway. The Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and two keys, used where a rim device is mounted on the door face; the 20-021 and 20-022 are the fixed-tailpiece rim cylinder versions, vertical and horizontal cam respectively. Rim cylinders mount through the door for exit devices, not inside a CL3300 lock.
12) We standardize on 5-pin cylinders across our buildings - how does that compare to the 7-pin Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR?
The 596K30 BR uses a 7-pin X Class configuration, which Corbin Russwin applies for expanded key control in commercial master key systems on CL3300 Non-Hotel locks. Five-pin alternatives in other platforms include the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin cylinder core and the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security, a Grade 1 cylinder in the 4036 Series. Pin count is tied to the keyway and key system, so a 7-pin X Class plug and a 5-pin core cannot be keyed alike to each other.
13) What should I order for a deadbolt rather than the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR?
The 596K30 BR is a plug for CL3300 Non-Hotel lock cylinders, not a deadbolt cylinder. 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 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.
14) What finishes does the 596K30 BR cylinder plug come in?
Two: 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome. Pick to match the lever or knob trim already on the door, since the plug face is the visible part around the keyway.
15) Is this a residential-duty part or rated for commercial door hardware?
Commercial. Corbin Russwin lists it under mechanical lock cylinder parts for commercial use, and it's the part locksmiths pull for CL3300 cylinders in offices, schools, hospitals, government buildings, retail and multi-tenant residential.
16) Is the 596K30 BR a genuine Corbin Russwin part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Corbin Russwin cylinder component, which is what keeps the fit and the key control inside the CL3300 assembly correct. Aftermarket plugs in a mastered BR system are the usual cause of keys that bind or pass where they shouldn't.
17) Does the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR finish choice have a counterpart in other cylinder lines?
The 596K30 BR plug is offered in 606 Satin Brass and 626 Satin Chrome so it coordinates with the surrounding CL3300 trim. Among other cylinders, the Schlage 20-057-C full size interchangeable core is listed in 643E Aged Bronze with a C keyway. Finish designations are brand-specific, so match the plug finish to the Corbin Russwin cylinder and trim already on the door rather than cross-referencing another maker's code.
18) Is there a non-keyed equivalent to the Corbin Russwin 596K30 BR for an opening that does not need to be locked?
The 596K30 BR is a keyed 7-pin X Class plug and has no blank version. Where a cylinder is only needed to fill the prep and present a keyway face, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is the dummy format. It is a rim cylinder, so it suits a door prepped for a rim device rather than a Corbin Russwin CL3300 lock cylinder.
