Falcon A08553-000-00 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are the 0 through 9 options on the Falcon A08553 bottom pins?
Each option is a pin depth number, 0 through 9, giving ten separate bottom pin sizes in the A08553 range. You order the depth number you need, and each one comes as its own 100-pack. Locksmiths stocking a full board for Falcon .018 inch system rekeying order across all ten depths; a maintenance shop working one master key system may only need the two or three depths its bitting uses.
2) I need to rekey Schlage or Corbin Russwin cylinders, will Falcon A08553 pins work?
No. These pins are cut to Falcon's .018 inch system and are not a cross-brand pinning component. For Schlage openings the cleaner route is a complete cylinder such as the Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder with vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with horizontal cam; on Corbin Russwin mortise locks the 1000 Series Grade 1 mortise cylinder with an A02 straight cam or the 1070 housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam are the direct parts. Interchangeable core users can swap a BEST 1C Series 5-pin core rather than pin anything at all.
3) Can a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder be used in place of Falcon A08553 bottom pins?
No - they solve different problems. The Falcon A08553-000-00 is a bottom pin sold in a 100-pack as a replacement part for servicing Falcon commercial mechanical lock cylinders in the .018 inch pin system, so it is pinning stock used inside a cylinder you already have. The Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a complete 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys. If the cylinder housing is staying in the door and only the pin stack is being changed, pins are the part; if the whole cylinder is coming out, a complete cylinder like the 20-021 is.
4) What should be used instead of Falcon A08553 bottom pins if the goal is rekeying without pinning cylinders by hand?
Interchangeable core cylinders let a key change happen by swapping the core rather than repinning. The BEST 1CB is a Peaks 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 Series core, and the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys. The Falcon A08553-000-00 bottom pin, by contrast, is loose pinning stock in a 100-pack for rebuilding and rekeying Falcon .018 inch system cylinders at the bench or in the field.
5) Are these bottom pins or master (top) pins?
Bottom pins only. The A08553 is the pin that sits directly on the key cut in the bottom of each chamber. Building a master keyed system also requires master wafers and top springs plus drivers, which are separate parts from this pack.
6) Is a 100-pack of one depth too much for a single rekey job?
For one cylinder, yes, it is far more than you need. The 100-pack is bulk servicing stock, intended for shops doing volume rekeying, cylinder rebuilding, and keeping a pinning kit topped up across a portfolio of Falcon cylinders. A property manager rekeying a handful of doors is usually better served buying a replacement cylinder or core rather than loose pin stock.
7) I want to stop pinning cylinders by hand across my buildings. What should I look at instead?
Move the facility to interchangeable cores and you rekey by pulling a core instead of disassembling a cylinder. BEST offers the 1C Series standard 5-pin core, the Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, and the drill resistant 1CDF 7-pin brass 150 Series. On the Schlage side, the 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam takes a full size interchangeable core. Loose bottom pins like the Falcon A08553 remain the right buy only where you are keeping conventional Falcon cylinders in service.
8) Falcon A08553 bottom pins are for a .018 inch system - does that mean they fit BEST or Corbin Russwin cylinders too?
Treat them as Falcon parts. The A08553-000-00 bottom pin is engineered specifically for the Falcon .018 inch pin system and is sold as a genuine Falcon replacement component for Falcon commercial mechanical lock cylinders. Peer cylinders run their own platforms - the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin core, the BEST 1CDF 7-pin 150 Series core, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 1-1/2 inch LFIC 6-pin mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks are each pinned to their own manufacturer's system, so match pinning stock to the cylinder brand being serviced.
9) Is there an equivalent to Falcon A08553 bottom pins for a mortise lock that needs a whole new cylinder?
For a mortise prep, complete mortise cylinders cover that job: the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder is 1-1/2 inches with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The Falcon A08553-000-00 is not an alternative to any of these - it is a bottom pin supplied 100 to a pack for rebuilding Falcon .018 inch system cylinders.
10) For a key-in-knob or deadbolt cylinder that needs replacing outright, what is used rather than Falcon A08553 pins?
Drop-in replacement cylinders handle that. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. The Falcon A08553-000-00 bottom pin, supplied 100 per pack, is for high-volume rekeying and cylinder rebuilding where the existing Falcon cylinder body is being kept.
11) Are Falcon A08553 pins genuine factory parts or aftermarket?
Manufacturer-sourced Falcon parts, not generic pin stock. That matters on a keyed system because tolerance drift between aftermarket pins and factory chambers shows up as keys that bind or cylinders that fail to rotate once you stack masters on top.
12) Is the A08553 bottom pin a commercial part or does it suit residential locks?
It is classed as commercial door hardware, intended for Falcon commercial mechanical lock cylinders in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential buildings and government facilities. It is a serviceable component for keyed systems maintained by a locksmith or in-house shop, not a consumer part.
13) Do Falcon A08553 bottom pins work in a cylinder pull like the Adams Rite 4025?
No. The Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847 deadlock, the 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for the same MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock. Those are pull assemblies built around their own tumbler cylinders. The Falcon A08553-000-00 bottom pin is a Falcon .018 inch system component for servicing Falcon commercial cylinders and should be kept to that use.
14) If an opening only needs the look of a keyed cylinder and no pinning at all, what is the alternative to Falcon A08553 pins?
A dummy cylinder covers a non-functional opening. The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and fills a rim cylinder prep without a working pin stack. The Falcon A08553-000-00 bottom pin is the opposite case - it is pinning stock in a 100-pack used to make or change a working key combination in Falcon .018 inch system cylinders.
