KSP 700-KSP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the KSP 700 cam used for on a mortise cylinder?
The KSP 700 is a standard straight cam for a mortise cylinder housing. It mounts to the back of the cylinder and is the part that actually drives the lock case when the key turns. If the cylinder itself is fine but the cam is bent, worn, or the wrong shape for the lock body, this is the piece you swap rather than replacing the whole cylinder.
2) Does the KSP 700 cam fit Medeco mortise cylinders?
Yes. The 700 is a screw-on housing cam for Medeco, so it attaches to the cylinder with the cam screws rather than pressing or clipping on. It is a straight cam, which is the common profile for standard mortise lock cases; if your lock case calls for an offset or clover cam you need a different cam shape.
3) Can a Kwikset or Emtek key blank be used in place of the KSP 700 cam?
No. The KSP 700 is a screw-on housing cam for Medeco mortise cylinders, supplied 10 pieces to a package, and it is the tailpiece-style part that transfers cylinder rotation to the lock mechanism. The Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC is a key blank cut to the Schlage C keyway, and the Kwikset 87615-001 is a 6-pin blank for knobs and deadbolts. Those are keys, not cylinder cams, so neither serves the function the 700 performs even though they sit alongside it in cylinder service work.
4) How many cams come in a pack of the KSP 700?
The 700 straight cam ships as a package of 10 pieces. That suits a locksmith shop or a maintenance crew rekeying and rebuilding mortise cylinders across a building, since cams are consumable when cylinders get moved between lock cases.
5) I need to rekey and re-cam Medeco mortise cylinders - what else goes in the same order?
The KSP 700 straight cam covers the screw-on cam side of a Medeco mortise housing and ships as a package of 10, which suits a locksmith working a batch of cylinders. Keying stock is a separate line item and is brand-specific: Kwikset 88485-005 is a Kwikset blank for knobs and deadbolts in the Schlage style, Kwikset 83559-008 is a large bow 6-pin builder key, and Kwikset 81804-001 is a control key blank for interchangeable-core work. Order the cam for the cylinder housings and the blanks that match the keyway you are actually cutting.
6) Is the KSP 700 a control key or a cylinder part?
It is a cylinder part - a standard straight housing cam that screws onto a Medeco mortise cylinder. It is not a key of any kind. If what you actually need is the key that removes or retains a core, the Kwikset 81804-001 is a control key blank, which is a different item entirely from the cam that drives the lock.
7) What model number do I order for the KSP straight mortise cam?
Order it as KSP 700, listed under model 700-KSP. It is the standard straight housing cam, screw-on type for Medeco mortise cylinders.
