KSP K700 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the KSP K700 cam, and is a cylinder included with it?
The K700 is the cam alone, not a cylinder. It is a standard straight cam with a screw-on attachment that mounts to the back of a mortise cylinder and transfers key rotation to the lock. If you need the whole cylinder, look at a complete mortise cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam.
2) Is a straight cam the right cam for my mortise lock, or do I need a cloverleaf?
Straight cams like the K700 drive mortise locks whose cam slot takes a flat, single-lobe tail. Many Schlage L9000 and similar mortise bodies instead call for a cloverleaf (A01) cam, which has a multi-lobe profile. Pull the existing cam off the cylinder and match the shape before ordering. If yours is cloverleaf, a cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1070 with the A01 cloverleaf cam is the pattern you want.
3) Can I change the cam on a mortise cylinder without replacing the whole cylinder?
That is exactly what the K700 is for. It screws on and off, so a locksmith can swap the cam on a compatible mortise cylinder in place of buying a new cylinder when the cam is worn, broken, or the wrong profile for the lock body.
4) If I need a straight cam but the cylinder body is also worn out, what should I order instead of the KSP K700 cam?
The K700 is a screw-on standard straight cam sold as a replacement part on its own, so it only helps if the mortise cylinder body itself is still serviceable. If the body needs to be replaced, order a complete mortise cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length, which arrives with an A02 straight cam already fitted, or the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, 1-1/8 inch, 6-pin.
5) My mortise lock needs a cloverleaf cam, not a straight cam - what takes the place of the K700?
The KSP K700 is a standard straight cam profile, so it is the wrong geometry for a lock that calls for a cloverleaf tailpiece. For cloverleaf applications, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 Series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing uses an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 Series 1-1/2 inch LFIC 6-pin mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks also uses an A01 cloverleaf cam.
6) Will the KSP K700 cam work on a rim cylinder?
No. The K700 is engineered for mortise cylinder configurations, where the cam screws onto the back of the cylinder. Rim cylinders drive the lock through a tailpiece instead, so you would order a rim cylinder built for the tailpiece you need - for example the Schlage 20-021 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 6-pin rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, or the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
7) Does the K700 cam change the keying of my cylinder?
No. The cam is the driver on the back of the cylinder and has nothing to do with the pinning or keyway, so swapping it leaves your existing keying alone. If you need to change keyway or key system, that is a cylinder or core decision, for example a BEST 1C Series 5-pin core or a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway.
8) I'm standardizing mortise cylinders across a building. Does keeping K700 cams on hand make sense?
If your openings run mortise cylinders with straight cams, stocking the K700 lets your maintenance staff restore a failed cylinder without pulling a keyed cylinder out of inventory. It is a dedicated cylinder-and-key service part, so it is priced and stocked as a repair item rather than a full assembly.
9) We want to move a facility to interchangeable cores - is replacing cams like the K700 still the right approach?
The K700 is a maintenance and repair part for keeping existing mortise cylinders in service, not a way to change keying architecture. If you are standardizing on interchangeable cores so cores can be swapped without pulling hardware, look at core-based products instead: the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 Series, or the Schlage 20-057 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with convertible tailpiece cam.
10) Is the KSP K700 a replacement for a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder?
No. The K700 is a cam that mounts to a mortise cylinder, not a cylinder for knob or lever hardware. For key-in-knob and key-in-lever work, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, the 1579 Series is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, the 1599 Series is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder with a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with two cut keys.
11) I need a mortise cylinder for an Adams Rite MS deadlock - does the K700 cam cover that?
The K700 covers only the cam on a mortise cylinder, so it does not address the cylinder or the trim on an Adams Rite installation. For that hardware, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security and a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. If the opening also needs a cylinder pull, the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both intended for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, while the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for the 5017 wood door deadlock/deadlatch.
12) What should I use instead of the K700 on a residential handleset or deadbolt?
The K700 is a commercial mortise cylinder service part, so it is not the component for residential handleset and deadbolt retrofits. Those take a rim-type cylinder: the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for Arrow JL interconnected locks and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders.
13) Is the K700 cam suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial-grade service part, used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings where mortise cylinders are standard.
14) For an opening that only needs the look of a cylinder and no key function, is the K700 the part?
No. The K700 is a functional cam that drives a keyed mortise cylinder. Where no key operation is wanted, a dummy cylinder is the correct item - the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter fills the prep without keyed function. A plain replacement cylinder such as the Emtek CY4 cylinder, sold each, is another single-component option.
15) Is the K700 cam what I need for a key-in-deadbolt cylinder?
No. The K700 attaches to a mortise cylinder and is not a deadbolt cylinder. For key-in-deadbolt work the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder with a deadbolt function, and the 1539 Series also lists a deadbolt function.
