Emtek Cylinder with Cap - Threaded Mortise - Available in 4 lengths (1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-3/4", 2")

The Emtek threaded mortise cylinder with cap comes in four lengths: 1-3/8, 1-1/2, 1-3/4 and 2 inches. Length is set by how thick the door is and how deep the cylinder has to reach the lock body, so measure the cylinder you are pulling out from the face of the cap to the end of the threads and match it. Order the same length back; a short one will not engage the lock and a long one will stand proud of the trim.

Schlage C is the standard keyway on the Emtek threaded mortise cylinder, which is the most common residential keyway in North America. If the rest of the house or building is already on Schlage C, this cylinder is on the same keyway family and can be keyed alike by a locksmith to your existing key. Two keys ship with it.

Mortise. It is a threaded cylinder that screws into a mortise lock case and is retained by a set screw in the edge of the door, with a decorative cap on the outside face. It is not a rim cylinder and it does not fit a tubular deadbolt or key-in-knob prep. For a rim application on an exit device or a night latch you want a rim cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam.

It is built as residential hardware, brass body with a decorative cap and a standard Schlage C keyway. For a commercial door on a facility master key or interchangeable core system, look at a Grade 1 mortise cylinder instead: the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, the 1070 Series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, or the 1080 Series 1-1/2 inch LFIC housing if you are running large format interchangeable cores. BEST 1C 5-pin cores and the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder cover small format IC systems.

The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a brass threaded mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway supplied with 2 keys, in lengths of 1-3/8 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch. When the requirement is a patented, restricted key system on the same Emtek door hardware, Medeco builds two Emtek-specific parts: the 1065140, a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the 1065244, a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Both are 5-pin Medeco cylinders rather than threaded mortise bodies, so confirm which of the two matches the Emtek trim you are working behind before ordering.

Yes. The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is keyed to the Schlage C keyway and is a residential part. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder in the same Schlage C keyway, so a building already keyed to Schlage C can carry one key across an Emtek residential entry and a Detex-equipped commercial opening. The Emtek part is offered in 1-3/8 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch lengths against the MC65's 1-1/8 inch, so measure the mortise case depth before treating them as interchangeable bodies.

The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a brass residential mortise cylinder. Where a Grade 1 mortise cylinder is required, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security rated for doors from 1/2 inch minimum thickness, and the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder is available in a 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam. Both are cammed commercial mortise cylinders, so the cam style has to be matched to the mortise lock case rather than assumed from the Emtek part.

The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a fixed brass mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway with 2 keys, which means rekeying is a pinning operation. For a facility that wants cores swapped without disassembly, the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 series is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder with an A01 cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks, and the BEST Peaks 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder. Schlage's 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, which keeps a Schlage C system intact while moving to interchangeable cores.

Eleven finishes are offered on the Emtek threaded cylinder cap: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Medium Bronze (MB), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), Tumbled White Bronze (TWB) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The cap is the only part that shows once the cylinder is threaded in, so match it to the escutcheon or handleset it sits in rather than to anything else on the door.

It is a replacement cylinder only, sold on its own with a cap and two keys. There is no lock body, no trim and no strike in the box. Buy it when you are rekeying, changing a finish, or replacing a worn or damaged cylinder in an Emtek mortise lock you already have installed.

No, this is a threaded mortise cylinder and it will not drop into a key-in-knob or key-in-lever chassis. For those, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement, the 1579 fits Sargent knobs and levers, and the 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. Falcon RU/T series knob and lever chassis take the Falcon A23161-05 G 6-pin cylinder in the G keyway.

The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a residential brass mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Adams Rite builds cylinder pulls specifically for those deadlocks: the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is designed for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. Those parts combine the pull and the cylinder in one assembly, which is a different mounting arrangement than a threaded mortise cylinder alone.

No. The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a threaded mortise cylinder, meaning the body threads into a mortise lock case. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are rim cylinders, one with a vertical tailpiece cam and one with a horizontal tailpiece cam, each supplied with 2 keys. A rim cylinder mounts through the door and drives a rim device with a tailpiece, so it has no threaded body to seat in a mortise case. If the opening needs a rim device, the tailpiece orientation decides between the 20-021 and the 20-022; if it needs a mortise cylinder, neither one applies.

The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a threaded mortise cylinder body that screws into a mortise lock case, offered in 1-3/8 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch lengths. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder; both are built to drop into the knob or lever itself rather than thread into a lock case. Ilco also lists the 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the 1579 knob and lever cylinder for Sargent. Identify whether the lock is a mortise case or a cylindrical knob or lever set first, because that decides which family applies.

Emtek entry hardware is not all mortise. Where the trim takes a rim type cylinder, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder built for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, so it belongs on Kwikset trim rather than Emtek. The Emtek Cylinder with Cap covers the threaded mortise side in 1-3/8 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch lengths.

Purely mechanical. There are no wires, no solenoid and no electronic option on the Emtek threaded cylinder. It is a keyed brass cylinder and nothing more, so it will not tie into an access control head end or a card system.

The body is brass, which does not rust, so an exterior front door application is fine mechanically. What changes outdoors is the cap finish: living finishes like Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB) will patina with weather and handling, while Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) and Satin Nickel (US15) hold their appearance. Choose on whether you want the finish to age or stay put.

Cam style is what makes two mortise cylinders of the same length behave differently. The Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, the 1080 Grade 1 series is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder with an A01 cam sized for Schlage L9000 mortise locks, and the 1000 Grade 1 series is available in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam. The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is supplied as a threaded mortise cylinder with its cap, in 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch lengths, for Emtek mortise hardware.

No, and the distinction matters when ordering. The Emtek Cylinder with Cap is a complete keyed brass mortise cylinder supplied with 2 keys. The BEST 1C series is a standard 5-pin cylinder core and the 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series core; a core alone needs a matching housing to work. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, at 1-5/32 inch diameter, is a dummy that fills the hole and does not key. Order a core only if the housing is already in the door, and a dummy only where no keying is wanted.
