Kaba Ilco 15495-AA-26D-KA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kaba Ilco 1549 cylinder work in my Yale or Corbin deadbolt?
That's exactly what the 1549 Series key-in-deadbolt cylinder is built for. It replaces the cylinder in Yale and Corbin single and double cylinder deadbolts, Grade 1 and Grade 2. Tailpiece and adapter come with it, so you aren't sourcing the drive parts separately. Order it in the keyway that matches the key system you're already running on the building.
2) Can I get the Ilco 1549 deadbolt cylinder keyed to my existing Schlage C keys?
Yes, Schlage C is one of the 31 keyways offered on the 1549 Series, along with Schlage E, Schlage F, Schlage Everest and a general Schlage option. Because the cylinder is ordered by keyway, a property manager already running Schlage C across a site can drop these into the Yale and Corbin deadbolts and keep one key system. You still need the cylinder pinned to your bitting to actually operate on your existing keys.
3) Should I order the 1549 cylinder 5-pin or 6-pin?
Match the pinning to the key system you already have, since a 6-pin key won't work a 5-pin plug and vice versa. The 1549 is offered in both 5-pin and 6-pin. Two keyways decide it for you: Lori 90 is 6-pin only, and Lori 80 is 5-pin. Most commercial masterkeyed systems run 6-pin; residential-derived keyways like Kwikset and Weiser are typically 5-pin.
4) Can I get a set of these Ilco deadbolt cylinders all on one key?
Keyed alike is an option on the 1549 Series, so a run of deadbolts across a building can be ordered to operate on a single key. Keyed different is the other choice when each unit or tenant needs its own key. Decide this per group of openings before you order, since the pinning is set at build.
5) Is the Ilco 1549 a mortise cylinder or a rim cylinder?
Neither. The 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, the type that goes into a deadbolt body and drives the bolt through a tailpiece. If you need a threaded mortise cylinder for a mortise lock, that's a different part, for example the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam or the 1070 in 1-1/4 inch with an A01 cam. For a rim exit device you'd want a rim cylinder such as the Schlage 20-021 with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam.
6) Which cylinder works for a facility that rekeys with interchangeable cores instead of pinning cylinders?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a conventional pinned cylinder ordered in 5 pin or 6 pin, keyed alike or keyed different, so rekeying it means pinning it. For a small-format interchangeable core program, the BEST 1C is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, the BEST 1CB is a Peaks 150 series interchangeable core, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass. For full-size interchangeable core, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and the Schlage 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway in 643E aged bronze. Cores in those systems pull with a control key rather than being disassembled.
7) What replaces a Yale or Corbin deadbolt cylinder without changing the deadbolt itself?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder is built for Yale and Corbin single and double cylinder Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts, and it ships with the tailpiece and adapter, so the existing deadbolt body stays in the door. It is offered in Corbin 60, Corbin 67, Corbin 77, Corbin, Corbin/Russwin, Yale 8 and Yale keyways, in 5 pin and 6 pin, keyed alike or keyed different. Among the comparable cylinders, the Corbin Russwin CR1000-112 is a 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder 1-1/2 inches long with an A02 straight cam and the Corbin Russwin 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam - both mortise-format parts that thread into a mortise lock body rather than dropping into a deadbolt.
8) What cylinder should be used when the lock is a rim device instead of a deadbolt?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, so a rim exit device or rim lock takes a rim cylinder instead. The Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and two keys, the Schlage 20-022 is the same 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, and the Corbin Russwin 3070-178 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. The vertical or horizontal cam choice is dictated by the device the cylinder drives.
9) Is a mortise cylinder a substitute for a key-in-deadbolt cylinder?
No. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-knob, deadbolt and lever cylinder that includes a tailpiece and adapter to drive a deadbolt. A mortise cylinder threads into a mortise lock case and turns a cam: the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 series with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch LFIC 6-pin mortise cylinder with an A01 Schlage L cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Those two formats are not interchangeable even when the keyway matches.
10) What keyways can the Kaba Ilco 1549 cylinder be ordered in?
31 keyways span most of the common commercial and residential systems: Arrow, Corbin 60/67/77 plus Corbin and Corbin/Russwin, Dominion 1054F, Schlage Everest (two), Segal 9, Sargent LA, LA-LC and RA-RC, Kwikset, Lockwood, two composite keyways, Russwin and Russwin D1, Schlage C, E, F and Schlage, ILCO, Lori L100, Lori 90 (6-pin only), Lori 80 (5-pin), Weiser E Falcon, Weiser, Yale 8 and Yale. Note the Lori restrictions, they tie to pinning.
11) Do I need to buy a separate tailpiece for the Ilco 1549 deadbolt cylinder?
No. Tailpiece and adapter ship with the 1549 cylinder, which is what lets it drive Yale and Corbin deadbolt bodies without extra parts on the truck. Keys are the item to confirm on your order line, along with keyway, pinning and finish.
12) What do I have to specify when ordering an Ilco 1549 deadbolt cylinder?
Four things decide the part number: finish (satin brass 04 or satin chrome 26D), keyway from the 31 offered, pinning (5 or 6), and keying (keyed alike or keyed different). Get the keyway and pinning from an existing key at the site, not from the lock brand, since a Corbin deadbolt may well have been rekeyed to a Schlage or Sargent keyway years ago.
13) What is used on an aluminum storefront narrow stile door instead of a key-in-deadbolt cylinder?
Narrow stile aluminum doors with Adams Rite deadlocks take a cylinder pull rather than a Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for MS1847 deadlock systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same MS1847 deadlock, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock. The choice between them follows the deadlock already in the door and whether it mounts through the stile or on a trim plate.
14) What cylinder fits a residential-style handleset or Kwikset deadbolt rather than a commercial deadbolt?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a commercial key-in-deadbolt cylinder, though it is offered in the KS Kwikset keyway as well as Weiser and Weiser E Falcon. For handleset and residential deadbolt retrofits specifically, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. Emtek trim can also take the Emtek CY4 cylinder.
15) Can a Schlage C keyway deadbolt cylinder be matched to an existing master key system?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 key-in-deadbolt cylinder is offered in SC Schlage C, SE Schlage E, SF Schlage F, SX Schlage, and the EA and EB Schlage Everest keyways, in 5 pin and 6 pin, keyed alike or keyed different, so a deadbolt can be brought onto an existing Schlage system. If the same opening needs a mortise cylinder in the same keyway, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway; for a rim device, the Schlage 20-057-C is an FSIC core in the C keyway.
16) Can the same Ilco 1549 cylinder go into a knob or lever lock as well as a deadbolt?
The 1549 line covers key-in-knob, deadbolt and lever cylinders across a range of applications, and the deadbolt version here is the one set up for Yale and Corbin single and double cylinder deadbolts with the tailpiece and adapter included. Pick the cylinder that matches the lock body you're servicing rather than assuming one part crosses knob, lever and deadbolt on the same door.
17) What cylinder covers a key-in-lever opening rather than a deadbolt?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 line covers key-in-knob, deadbolt and lever cylinders for the ten most popular applications, so a lever can be served from the same series and keyway family in satin brass or satin chrome. A single-purpose alternative for a lever is the Falcon A23161-05 G, a key in lever cylinder for the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with two cut keys.
18) What goes on a door that needs the look of a keyed cylinder without any keyed function?
The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a working key-in-deadbolt cylinder ordered keyed alike or keyed different, so it is not the part for a blank opening. Where a matching cylinder face is wanted with no keying at all, the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and fills a rim cylinder prep as trim only.
