KSP 306 Series - 6 or 7-Pin SFIC Mortise Housing

The KSP 306 is the mortise housing that a small format interchangeable core drops into. It's the shell and cam assembly only, so you also need an SFIC core keyed to your system. The housing takes either a 6-pin or 7-pin SFIC core, which is the standard figure-8 core used across most SFIC systems.

The cam is what actually drives the lock, and the two are not interchangeable. The 600 standard cam suits conventional mortise lock cam prep. The 601 is the Adams Rite cam, which is what you want when the housing is going into Adams Rite style narrow stile aluminum door hardware. Pick the cam to match the lock body you are driving, not the door.

It's staked on and non-interchangeable. You cannot swap the cam in the field, so the cam choice is made at order time: 600 standard or 601 Adams Rite. If you stock these for a building, order them by cam type against the lock bodies you actually have, because a housing with the wrong cam is a return, not an adjustment.

1-1/4 inch. That's the common mortise cylinder housing length, and it's what decides whether the housing seats correctly in the lock body's cylinder pocket. Measure what you're pulling out before ordering; if your existing cylinder is longer, this housing won't reach.

Yes. The 306 housing is built for either 6-pin or 7-pin small format interchangeable cores, so a facility already running 7-pin masterkeyed cores can keep the same core and just change the housing. The pinning stays in the core, not the housing, so your keying system is unaffected.

No - they are two different halves of the same lock. The Corbin Russwin 8000-CT6 is a 6-pin interchangeable core, the removable figure-eight plug that carries the pinning and gets swapped with a control key. The KSP 306 is the mortise housing that core drops into: a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin SFIC mortise housing with a staked-on, non-interchangeable cam, offered with the 600 standard cam or the 601 Adams Rite cam and in oil rubbed bronze or satin chrome. If you are keying a door you need both - the housing threads into the lock or exit device and the core does the keying. Ordering the 306 alone leaves you without a core, and ordering a core alone leaves it with nothing to mount in.

The housing isn't the keyed part. For temporary jobsite keying you want a construction core to drop into it, such as the Corbin Russwin 8000-CT6 blue 6-pin interchangeable core, then pull it and drop in the permanent core at turnover. The 306 housing stays in the lock through both.

You need an SFIC mortise housing, which is what the KSP 306 series is: a 1-1/4 inch housing built for 6 or 7-pin small format interchangeable cores, with the cam staked on. Match the cam to the lock you are driving - the 600 standard cam for conventional mortise lock bodies, the 601 Adams Rite cam for Adams Rite style narrow stile hardware - because the cam is staked and cannot be changed in the field. Finish is oil rubbed bronze or satin chrome. Since the 8000-CT6 is a 6-pin core, either the 6 or 7-pin housing accepts it; the pin count belongs to the core, and the construction core is meant to be pulled and replaced with the permanent core at turnover.

Two: Satin Chrome and Oil Rubbed Bronze. Both are offered with either cam, so you can match a dark bronze opening or a satin chrome one without giving up the Adams Rite cam. For a property manager standardizing a building, that's the pair to work with.
