Kaba Ilco 535-53-41 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Kaba Ilco double cylinder jimmyproof lock fit a 1-3/8 inch apartment door?
Yes. The Ilco double cylinder jimmyproof lock covers doors from 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick, so 1-3/8 inch interior doors and 1-3/4 inch entry doors are both inside the range. That range is wide enough to cover most of a mixed apartment stock without ordering a different lock per door thickness.
2) What hole size and backset do I need to drill for an Ilco jimmyproof lock?
Prep is a 1-1/4 inch (30mm) crossbore at a 2-1/2 inch (64mm) backset. That backset is deeper than the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets used for bored locksets, so a jimmyproof cylinder hole is its own prep, not something you reuse from an existing knob or deadbolt bore.
3) Does a double cylinder jimmyproof lock need a key to get out from the inside?
Yes, and that is the point of the double cylinder function: there is a keyed cylinder on both faces, so the lock cannot be thrown or released from inside without a key. That kills the risk of someone reaching through broken glass or a mail slot to turn a thumbturn, which is why it goes on glass-panel and sidelight-adjacent doors. It also means anyone inside is locked in without a key, so check your local egress code for the occupancy before specifying it on a required exit.
4) Can I key an Ilco jimmyproof lock to my existing Kwikset or Schlage keys?
Both major residential keyways are covered. Standard supply is KW1, which is the Kwikset keyway, and an SC1 (Schlage) version is offered as its own order option. Pick the keyway that matches the keys already in the building and the lock drops into an existing key system rather than adding a second key to the ring.
5) How does a jimmyproof lock hold a door compared with a regular deadbolt?
Instead of throwing one horizontal bolt into the frame, the jimmyproof uses a vertical gate action: two bolts drop through interlocking rings on the strike plate. Because the bolts sit inside the strike rather than beside it, spreading or prying the frame does not pull the bolt clear the way it can with a conventional deadbolt. It surface mounts on the inside face of the door, so it adds security to an existing door without a new deadbolt bore.
6) What quantities do Ilco double cylinder jimmyproof locks come in?
They ship in multi-packs, not singles. KW1 comes as a 5-piece box pack or a 5-piece clam shell pack, and the SC1 keyway version comes as a 10-piece box pack. If you are standardizing a building or stocking a truck that works fine; if you need one lock for one door, you are still buying the pack.
7) Does a jimmyproof lock have handing, and does it work on an outswing door?
Handing is not a factor. The lock body mounts to the inside face of the door and the strike mounts to the jamb, and the bolts engage vertically through the strike rings, so the same lock works left or right hand. It is an inswing-door lock by nature, though: the strike must sit on the frame face on the same side as the lock body, which an outswing door does not give you.
8) Is the Ilco jimmyproof lock rated for commercial use?
It is a commercial-grade item, and the usual place it lands is apartment entry doors, small storefronts, and back-of-house doors in multi-family buildings where a landlord wants pry resistance added to an existing door. The 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range covers the door stock in most of those buildings.
