Kaba Ilco 605 Series 5 Pin Replacement Rim Cylinder Satin Brass Finish (by 10s)

Yes, if you pick the right keyway. The 605 comes in KW, which rekeys to Kwikset, Arrow, Weiser, and Segal, and SC, which rekeys to Schlage. Match the keyway to the keys already in the building and a locksmith can pin it to your existing key rather than issuing a new one.

Keying is an order option on the 605. You can take them keyed different, keyed alike in pairs (keyed alike x 2), or all keyed alike in one box. For a building where maintenance carries one key, the all-keyed-alike box option is the one to specify. Both the Kwikset and Schlage C keyways offer the same keying choices.

For a Sargent mounting pattern, the Medeco 100403 is the match: it is a 6-pin rim cylinder built with the Sargent mounting style and a horizontal/vertical tailpiece, Heavy Duty and Grade 1. The Kaba Ilco 605 is a 5-pin replacement cylinder for Ilco and other brands of auxiliary locks - jimmyproof locks, deadlocks and night latches - and ships with its own trim plate, mounting plate and screws for that application.

Both are 5-pin rim cylinders, but they are built for different jobs. The Kaba Ilco 605 is a standard replacement cylinder for Ilco and other brands of auxiliary locks - jimmyproof locks, deadlocks and night latches - and it comes in a Kwikset keyway that rekeys to Kwikset, Arrow, Weiser and Segal, or a Schlage C keyway that rekeys to Schlage. Its body is zinc die cast with a brass or aluminum finish, and the trim plate, mounting plate and screws come in the box. The Medeco 100300 is a 5 Pin 1-1/16 inch rim cylinder with a horizontal/vertical tailpiece, rated Heavy Duty and Grade 1. Choose the 605 when you are replacing a worn cylinder in an existing auxiliary lock and want to stay on a Kwikset or Schlage C key system; choose the 100300 when the opening calls for a Grade 1 heavy duty cylinder.

The Medeco 100400H is the one to look at. It is a 6-pin 1-1/8 inch rim cylinder with a horizontal/vertical tailpiece, high security and UL 437 listed, rated Heavy Duty and Grade 1. The Kaba Ilco 605 is a 5-pin standard replacement cylinder for auxiliary locks such as jimmyproof locks, deadlocks and night latches, supplied in Kwikset or Schlage C keyways that rekey to common residential and commercial key systems - useful when you are matching an existing key system, but it is not the part to quote against a UL 437 high security line item on a drawing.

It's the packaging, not the cylinder. Clam shell packing is the retail hanging pack and is offered on the keyed different cylinders in both keyways. Box packed covers keyed different, keyed alike x 2, and all keyed alike. If you're buying for a service van or a stockroom, box packed is the one that carries the keyed-alike options.

Five pin tumbler. That's standard for auxiliary locks on apartment and light commercial entry doors, and it's what lets it rekey into the common Kwikset and Schlage residential and light commercial keyways. If you need a high security cylinder with drill and pick resistance, a Medeco rim cylinder such as the 100400H, a 6-pin unit that is UL 437 Listed, is the direction to go instead.

Different jobs. The 605 is a standard replacement cylinder for auxiliary locks, five pin, rekeyable to Kwikset or Schlage keyways, so it keeps an existing key system running cheaply across a lot of doors. Medeco's rim cylinders in our range, like the 100300 5-pin and the 100403 6-pin with Sargent mounting style, are Grade 1 heavy duty, and the 100400H is UL 437 Listed for high security. Use Medeco where key control and attack resistance matter, the 605 where you're replacing worn cylinders in volume.

They ship by 10s, which is how you'd buy them for a turn or a building-wide cylinder swap. Order all keyed alike if the building runs one master-style key, or keyed different if each unit gets its own. Mounting hardware is in every box, so ten cylinders is ten complete installs.

The Kaba Ilco 605 is a purely mechanical 5-pin cylinder, keyed different or keyed alike, in a Kwikset or Schlage C keyway. If the opening needs to move to a credential-based system in the same rim cylinder footprint, the Medeco 100400 XT is a horizontal/vertical rim cylinder that is electronic and no-wire, drill and tamper resistant, rated Heavy Duty and Grade 1. That is a change of system, not a swap: the 605 stays on a standard key, while the XT brings electronic access control to the cylinder itself.

The 605 body is zinc die cast with a brass or aluminum finish, and this one is the satin brass version. It's a finish, not solid brass, so match it visually against the trim on the other doors rather than expecting it to patina like solid brass would.

The 605 is classified as commercial door hardware and is sold as a replacement part for auxiliary locks. It's a five pin standard-security cylinder, so it suits apartment entries, storerooms, and back-of-house doors. For an opening that has to meet a Grade 1 spec, look at the Medeco Grade 1 heavy duty rim cylinders instead.
