Dormakaba 74956-26D-01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Dormakaba 74956 part, the whole lock or just a housing?
It's the outside cylinder housing only, not a complete lock. The 74956 is the exterior-facing housing that carries the lock cylinder in supported Dormakaba mechanical lock assemblies, sold as a genuine replacement component in Satin Chrome. If your lock body, latch or cylinder is also bad, those are separate parts.
2) Does the 74956 housing allow code changes from outside the door?
Yes. The 74956 is built for exterior code change, meaning the combination can be updated from the outside of the door without pulling the lock apart on the secure side. If your Dormakaba pushbutton lock is set up for interior-only code change, this is not the matching housing.
3) Will the 74956 drop into my existing Dormakaba lock without redrilling the door?
It's built to Dormakaba's original specs as a drop-in outside housing for supported Dormakaba mechanical locks, so on a lock it was made for there is no new door prep. It is a brand-specific component, though, and will not fit a non-Dormakaba lock body.
4) What is the difference between the Dormakaba 74956 outside housing and the Kaba Ilco R2800 convertible housing?
They solve different problems. The Dormakaba 74956 is an outside cylinder housing built for exterior code change applications on Dormakaba mechanical locks, supplied as a genuine replacement part in Satin Chrome. The Kaba Ilco R2800 Series is a small format interchangeable core convertible housing, meaning it is intended to accept a small format IC core rather than to serve as the exterior code change interface on a Dormakaba pushbutton style lock. If the job is restoring the outside housing on an existing Dormakaba lock, the 74956 is the matching part; if the job is putting a small format IC core into a housing, the R2800 Series is the one built for that.
5) What finish is the Dormakaba 74956 outside housing, and will it match my other hardware?
Satin Chrome, listed as 626/26D. That's the standard commercial brushed chrome finish, so it coordinates with satin chrome levers, closers and exit devices already on the openings. It is the only finish this housing is offered in.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for the satin chrome 74956 housing?
Order it as Dormakaba model 74956-26D-01. The 26D in that string is the satin chrome finish code, so specifying the full model avoids getting a housing in another finish.
7) Small format versus large format IC core housing - which Kaba Ilco part goes with which core?
The Kaba Ilco R2800 Series is the convertible housing for small format interchangeable cores, and the Kaba Ilco S26506 is the convertible housing for large format interchangeable cores in Schlage size, with a mortise function. Confirm which core family your facility is keyed to before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable. Neither is a substitute for the Dormakaba 74956 outside housing, which is a code change component for Dormakaba mechanical locks.
8) Can I use a Kaba Ilco convertible housing as a drop-in replacement for a Dormakaba 74956 on a mortise lock?
Treat them as separate parts. The Dormakaba 74956 is a genuine Dormakaba replacement part made to original specifications for the exterior-facing housing position in supported Dormakaba lock assemblies, so it drops in where that housing already exists. The Kaba Ilco S26506 is a mortise-function large format IC core convertible housing in Schlage size, which is a different mounting and core arrangement. Verify the existing lock model before swapping either one in.
9) Is this housing rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial-grade part, catalogued for commercial use and used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, government facilities, multi-tenant residential and industrial sites. For a high-traffic entry where the housing takes daily punishment, that's the class of part you want.
