KSP 416 - 6-Pin SFIC Tapered Head Mortise Housing Less Cam

No cam is included. The KSP 416 is a 6-pin SFIC tapered head mortise housing supplied less cam, so you order the screw-on (removable) cam separately to match the lock function and manufacturer you're working with. Plan on sourcing the correct cam before the install, or the housing won't operate anything.

Yes, that's what it's for. The 416 replaces a conventional mortise cylinder in the lock body so the opening runs on a 6-pin SFIC core instead, letting a property manager or locksmith rekey by pulling the core with a control key rather than pinning cylinders. You'll need the SFIC core and the matching screw-on cam to complete the changeover, since the housing ships less cam.

They are two different halves of the same assembly and a working mortise cylinder needs both. The KSP 416 is a 0.84 inch 6-pin SFIC tapered head mortise housing supplied less cam, meaning it is the threaded shell that mounts in the door and accepts a small format interchangeable core - it contains no pins and will not operate a lock on its own. The Corbin Russwin 8000-CT6 BLUE is the core itself, a 6-pin interchangeable core in blue construction core form used to keep an opening keyed for trades during construction and then swapped out with a control key. Both are 6-pin SFIC format, so a 6-pin core drops into the 416 housing. Order the 416 for the mortise prep and a separate core, plus the correct cam, to finish the cylinder.

The head measures 0.84 inch and is tapered. That taper matters on the prep: the housing seats into a mortise cylinder hole, and the tapered head gives a finished look against the escutcheon or lock face rather than sitting flat like a straight-head housing.

It is. The housing uses a screw-on removable cam, so if the lock gets swapped or you find the cam shape is wrong for the lock body, you back the cam off and fit a different one without replacing the whole housing. That's an advantage over staked or fixed-cam cylinders.

Use a construction core in the housing during the build and swap it at turnover. The KSP 416 is a 6-pin SFIC tapered head mortise housing that takes any small format interchangeable core, and the Corbin Russwin 8000-CT6 BLUE is a 6-pin interchangeable core supplied as a blue construction core for exactly that sequence - trades carry the construction key, then the permanent core is dropped in without pulling the housing or the lock. Because the 416 ships less cam, confirm the cam your lock case requires when you order the housing.
