Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Dormakaba 74161 cylinder used for?
The 74161 is a key override cylinder, a replacement part for Dormakaba mechanical lock assemblies. Its job is to let an authorized key retract the lock when normal credential entry is not being used, so it goes back into a Dormakaba lock body as a service part rather than being installed as a standalone lock. Full model designation is 74161-26D-01.
2) Is the Dormakaba 74161 a mortise cylinder I can drop into a mortise lock?
It isn't. The 74161 is an override cylinder for Dormakaba lock assemblies. If you need a threaded mortise cylinder, look at the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, the 1070 in 1-1/4 inch 6-pin with an A01 cam, or the Adams Rite 4036 five-pin mortise cylinder.
3) Is there a direct equivalent to the Dormakaba 74161 key override cylinder from another manufacturer?
No. The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 is an OEM replacement cylinder built to Dormakaba specifications for key override duty in compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock assemblies, so the fit is tied to that lock family. Aftermarket cylinders in the same general class are each keyed to their own host hardware instead: the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt. If the lock body is Dormakaba, stay with the 74161.
4) What cylinder do I use if the door takes a mortise lock rather than a Dormakaba key override?
The Dormakaba 74161 is a key override cylinder for compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock systems, not a mortise cylinder. For a mortise lock body, the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder comes in a 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 housing is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Match the length and cam to the lock case.
5) What do I order for a key override on an aluminum storefront deadlock instead of the Dormakaba 74161?
The Dormakaba 74161 key override cylinder fits compatible Dormakaba mechanical lock systems. For a narrow stile storefront deadlock, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, and the Adams Rite 4024 and 4025 are cylinder pulls made for the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch - the 4024 mounting with a trim plate and the 4025 with through-screws. For a wood door deadlock, the Adams Rite 4026 is intended for the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch.
6) Does the Dormakaba 74161 come with keys, or do I need to have it keyed?
Keys are not called out as included with the 74161, so treat keying as a separate step with your locksmith. Where cut keys matter on the order, peers state it plainly: the Falcon A23161-05 G key-in-lever cylinder is supplied keyed different with two cut keys, and the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders each come with two keys.
7) Will a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder work in place of the Dormakaba 74161?
No. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are 6-pin rim cylinders, differing from each other by tailpiece cam orientation - vertical on the 20-021 and horizontal on the 20-022 - and they mount through the door to a rim device. The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 is a key override cylinder manufactured to Dormakaba specifications for fitment inside supported Dormakaba lock configurations, so a rim cylinder is a different mounting arrangement entirely.
8) We want to standardize a facility on interchangeable cores instead of fixed cylinders. What are the options?
The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 is a fixed replacement cylinder for key override on compatible Dormakaba locks, so it is serviced by swapping the whole cylinder. For a small-format interchangeable core program, the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 Series core; the BEST 1C is a standard 5-pin core. On the full-size side, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and the 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway.
9) I need a cylinder for a deadbolt, not a key override. What should I look at?
The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 provides key override for compatible Dormakaba lock systems and is not a deadbolt cylinder. For deadbolt service, the Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, both listed for deadbolt function. The Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts.
10) Which cylinder matches a key-in-lever lockset rather than the Dormakaba 74161?
The Dormakaba 74161 is a key override cylinder for compatible Dormakaba lock assemblies. For a key-in-lever lock, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. The Kaba Ilco 1579 covers knob and lever applications for Sargent hardware. Confirm the lock manufacturer before ordering, since these cylinders are not interchangeable across brands.
11) Can I use the Dormakaba 74161 in an Emtek handleset?
No. The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 is manufactured to Dormakaba specifications for supported Dormakaba lock configurations. For Emtek hardware, the Emtek CY4 cylinder is the brand's own part, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder as well as the Arrow JL interconnected lock.
12) Is this cylinder rated for commercial door use or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 74161 is classed as commercial door hardware and is used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential buildings and government facilities. For residential-style handleset and deadbolt retrofits you'd be looking at something like the Medeco 1075127 lazy motion rim cylinder instead.
13) If a door opening needs the look of a cylinder but no keyed function, is the Dormakaba 74161 the right part?
No. The Dormakaba 74161-26D-01 is a working key override cylinder for compatible Dormakaba mechanical locks. When the opening only needs the appearance of a cylinder with no operating mechanism, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter covers that role. Use the 74161 only where actual key override access is required.
