Dormakaba 74956-026-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Dormakaba 74956 part, the whole cylinder or just the housing?
It's the outside housing only, the exterior-side shell of a code change cylinder assembly on Dormakaba mechanical locks. It protects the internal mechanism and carries the exterior appearance, but it is not a complete cylinder and does not include the internal code change components. Order it when the existing housing is damaged, worn, or being changed to match a different finish, and reuse or separately source the internals.
2) Will the 74956 housing work on an interior door lock, or is it exterior only?
It is built for exterior code change cylinder applications, meaning the outside face of the door. You can install it on an interior opening mechanically if the lock is the same Dormakaba platform, but the part is specified as the exterior-side housing, so on a lock with different inside and outside housings this is not the inside piece.
3) Can a Kaba Ilco R2800 convertible housing be used in place of the Dormakaba 74956 outside housing?
No - they serve different lock systems. The Dormakaba 74956-026-01 is a cylinder housing built as an outside housing for exterior code change cylinder assemblies in Dormakaba mechanical lock hardware. The Kaba Ilco R2800 Series is a small format interchangeable core convertible housing, meaning it is intended to accept an SFIC core rather than a code change cylinder. If the opening is keyed on an SFIC system, the R2800 is the housing family to look at; if you are replacing the outside housing on a Dormakaba code change cylinder, order the 74956.
4) Is the Dormakaba 74956 an OEM part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Dormakaba. The 74956-026-01 is an OEM replacement part built to fit Dormakaba mechanical lock systems, so the fit is to the original hardware specification rather than a generic approximation. That matters on a code change lock, where the housing has to register correctly with the internals.
5) Do I have to replace the whole Dormakaba lock to change the code?
No. The code change capability lives in the cylinder assembly this housing belongs to, which allows authorized code changes without swapping out the entire lock. For a property manager doing tenant turnover, that means you rekey at the cylinder level and the lock body stays on the door.
6) For a commercial building standardizing on one keying method, does the Dormakaba 74956 work with interchangeable cores?
The Dormakaba 74956-026-01 is a commercial outside housing for exterior code change cylinder assemblies, so the code is changed at the cylinder rather than by pulling and replacing a core. Facilities that want core swaps handled by a locksmith with a control key use IC core housings instead, such as the Kaba Ilco R2800 Series for small format cores or the Kaba Ilco S26506 for large format Schlage-size cores in a mortise application.
7) What finish does the Dormakaba 74956 outside housing come in?
Bright Chrome, and that is the only finish offered on the 74956 housing. If the other doors in your building are on brass or satin chrome trim, this housing will not blend, so plan to standardize the openings you are touching rather than mixing one polished chrome housing into a brass set.
8) Is this Dormakaba housing rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential-grade part?
Commercial. The 74956 housing is classified as a commercial door hardware component and is used in offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential. For a facilities or MRO buyer standardizing a repair stock, it belongs with your commercial mechanical lock spares rather than light-duty residential parts.
