Dormakaba 54568-04-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 cylinder work with my existing Schlage C keyed building master system?
Yes. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is cut for the Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C system alongside the other cylinders on your openings. That is the point of the part: you swap the cylinder in a Dormakaba lever lock and the building's existing C keys keep working.
2) Is this a key-in-lever cylinder or a mortise cylinder?
It's a key-in-lever (KIL) cylinder, meant to drop into the lever itself on a Dormakaba mechanical lever lock. If your opening uses a mortise lock body with a threaded cylinder, this is the wrong part. For a threaded mortise cylinder in the same Schlage C keyway, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder, and Corbin Russwin's 1000 Series Grade 1 mortise cylinder comes in a 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam.
3) Can I use the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 in a Schlage or Falcon lever instead?
No. Sharing the Schlage C keyway means it takes the same key, not that it fits another maker's lever. The cylinder is built to go into Dormakaba lock assemblies. For a Falcon lever, the Falcon A23161-05 G is the key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series in the 6-pin G keyway; Kaba Ilco also builds key-in-knob and lever replacement cylinders, including the 1579 for Sargent and the 1599 key-in-knob.
4) We are standardizing a building on interchangeable cores - is the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 an IC cylinder?
The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a fixed key-in-lever replacement cylinder in Schlage C keyway, not an interchangeable core. If you want cores you can rotate without pulling hardware, the BEST 1CB is a Peaks 150 series interchangeable core cylinder and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series core; the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 if I need a key-in-lever cylinder in a different keyway?
The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a key-in-lever replacement cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway. If the opening is keyed to a different system, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys. Both are key-in-lever cylinders; the difference is the keyway family the key blank belongs to.
6) Is there a universal key-in-lever cylinder I can use instead of ordering the Dormakaba 54568-04-01?
Yes. The Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob / lever universal cylinder, intended to cover multiple lock brands rather than a single manufacturer's assembly. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a genuine Dormakaba replacement part built for compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock assemblies, so it is the direct-fit choice when you want original-equipment match rather than a universal body.
7) I need a Schlage C keyway cylinder for a mortise lock, not a lever - what should I order instead of the Dormakaba 54568-04-01?
For a mortise case, the Detex MC65 is a mortise cylinder with Schlage C keyway, 1-1/8 inch, 6-pin, commercial grade. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 shares the Schlage C keyway but is built as a key-in-lever cylinder, so it will not serve a mortise lock body.
8) I have a deadbolt, not a lever - is the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 the right cylinder?
No. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a key-in-lever cylinder for lever-style commercial hardware. For a deadbolt, the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder listed with a deadbolt function. If the lock is a key-in-knob body, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder.
9) What finish does the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 cylinder come in, and will it match my other door hardware?
Satin brass, BHMA finish code 606. If the rest of your levers and trim are 606 satin brass it will match; against 626 satin chrome or 630 stainless it will read noticeably yellow, which matters most on a lever where the cylinder face sits right in the middle of the knob.
10) I need to rekey a lever lock, not replace the whole lockset. Is this the part I want?
Yes, if the lock is a Dormakaba lever. This is a replacement cylinder only, sold as a service part to go back into a compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock assembly. You keep the existing lever, chassis and latch and change just the cylinder, which is the fastest way to put an opening back on your key system.
11) Will this cylinder work in an exit device?
No. A KIL cylinder is shaped and tailed for a lever chassis, not for the rim housing on an exit device. Rim devices take a rim cylinder: Schlage's 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam, both 6-pin, or the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
12) What is the difference between the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 and a rim cylinder like the Schlage 20-021?
The Schlage 20-021 is a rim cylinder, 6-pin, with a vertical tailpiece cam and 2 keys, used behind rim exit devices; the companion 20-022 carries a horizontal tailpiece cam. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a key-in-lever replacement cylinder for lever-style commercial hardware. Rim cylinders and key-in-lever cylinders are not interchangeable even when the keyway matches.
13) Is the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 a substitute for a Schlage L9000 mortise lock cylinder?
No. For Schlage L9000 mortise locks, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, with an A01 Schlage L cam. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a key-in-lever cylinder and does not fit a mortise lock case.
14) What should I order instead of the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 for an aluminum storefront deadlock?
Storefront deadlocks take a different cylinder format. The Adams Rite 4036 is a mortise cylinder with five-pin security, Grade 1, in the 4036 series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847 deadlock. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a key-in-lever cylinder for lever-style commercial hardware.
15) Can the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 replace the outside cylinder on a residential handleset or Kwikset deadbolt?
That is a different application. For those, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, and the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a commercial key-in-lever replacement cylinder.
16) Is this cylinder rated for high-traffic commercial use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 54568-04-01 is classified as a commercial door hardware component and is intended for office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities, where lever locks get cycled hard all day.
17) If I only need the appearance of a keyed cylinder and no key function, is the Dormakaba 54568-04-01 the part?
No. The Dormakaba 54568-04-01 is a working key-in-lever cylinder providing key-controlled locking. For a non-functioning cylinder appearance, the BEST 12E Series is a dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter.
