Medeco 1065244T-26-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hardware can a Medeco 1065244 retrofit cylinder actually replace the cylinder in?
The 1065244 is made to retrofit knob type cylindrical locksets, lever type cylindrical locksets, padlocks, and bored type auxiliary deadlatches and deadlocks. It is part of a retrofit line covering over 100 cylinder and tailpiece configurations, so in most cases you keep the existing lockset and change only the cylinder.
2) Do I order the Medeco 1065244 pinned or sub-assembled?
Both are offered. Pinned means the cylinder arrives keyed and ready to install. Sub-assembled comes unpinned for a locksmith or facility shop to pin to an existing Medeco keying system, which is what you want when the cylinder has to join a master key system already in the building.
3) Is the Medeco 1065244 available in Biaxial or M3 keyway?
Both. The 1065244 can be ordered in Medeco Biaxial or in M3. Match whichever platform the rest of your keying system already uses, because the two are not interchangeable on the same key. If the building is standardized on Medeco M3, order M3 so the cylinder keys into the existing system.
4) Is the Medeco 1065244 cylinder rated for a school or hospital where the spec calls for a high security cylinder?
It is certified to ANSI A156.30 Level A for patent-protected key control and physical strength, and to ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use applications. Medeco M4 key-in-knob cylinders are UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance. Body components are machined brass. That combination is what most institutional high security cylinder specs are written against.
5) What is the difference between a rim cylinder and a mortise cylinder, and which do I need?
A rim cylinder like the Medeco 1065244 mounts through the door and drives the lock with a tailpiece on the back. A mortise cylinder threads into the lock body and turns a cam instead. They are not interchangeable. If your lock has a threaded cylinder hole and a cam, you want a mortise cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam or the Adams Rite 4036. If the cylinder is held by a backplate and screws with a flat tailpiece running through, a rim cylinder is correct.
6) Can I put a Medeco cylinder in my Emtek lock without replacing the whole lockset?
That is exactly what the 1065244 is for. It swaps the cylinder and keeps the Emtek lockset in place, using the included Emtek tailpiece. For a like-for-like replacement of the original Emtek cylinder instead, the Emtek CY4 cylinder is the factory part. Going Medeco gets you the ANSI A156.30 Level A key control on hardware you already own.
7) Will a Medeco 1065244 rim cylinder key alike with the rest of my Medeco doors?
It can, as long as two things match: the platform and the pinning order. Order the keyway that matches your system, Biaxial or M3, and order it Sub - Assembled so your locksmith pins it to the existing bitting. A Pinned cylinder ordered without reference to your system arrives on its own key and will not match.
8) Is the Emtek CY4 cylinder a substitute for the Medeco 1065244 with Emtek tailpiece?
They serve the same Emtek hardware but they are not the same part. The Emtek CY4 is Emtek's own cylinder, sold each. The Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder configured with an Emtek tailpiece, offered in Biaxial or M3 keyway technology and certified to ANSI A156.30 Level A and ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 with UL437 listing for drill and pick resistance. Choose the 1065244 when the Emtek opening has to key into a Medeco patented key control system and carry that certification; choose the CY4 when the door stays on Emtek's own keying.
9) I need an interchangeable core rim cylinder instead of a conventional one - what should I order?
The Medeco 1065244 is a conventional 5-pin rim cylinder, pinned or supplied sub-assembled, in Biaxial or M3 keyway technology. If the facility is standardized on full size interchangeable core so cores can be pulled and rekeyed with a control key, the Schlage Commercial 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and 2 keys, and the Schlage 20-057-C is the matching full size interchangeable core in C keyway, 643E Aged Bronze. On the small format side, the BEST 1C is a standard 5-pin cylinder core and the BEST 1CB is a 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder. Interchangeable core is a keying system decision, not a drop-in swap for a conventional rim cylinder.
10) What is the closest equivalent to a Medeco 1065244 rim cylinder if I need a standard rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece?
The Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. For a conventional rim cylinder built around a vertical tailpiece cam, the Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam supplied with 2 keys. The Schlage 20-022 is the same rim cylinder function with a horizontal tailpiece cam instead. The choice between them comes down to the orientation the exit device or auxiliary lock chassis expects, and the 1065244 route is the one that lands you on Medeco keying with an Emtek-specific tailpiece already fitted.
11) My opening takes a mortise cylinder, not a rim cylinder - what do I use instead of the Medeco 1065244?
The 1065244 is a rim type cylinder and will not serve a mortise lock body, which needs a threaded mortise cylinder driven by a cam. For mortise openings, the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinder is 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 Series is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 Series is a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 Schlage L cam. The Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin mortise cylinder, Grade 1, for doors 1/2 inch minimum thickness. Cam style has to match the lock body, so confirm the cam before ordering.
12) Can I get the Medeco 1065244 in oil rubbed bronze or flat black to match my other door hardware?
Yes to both. Finish choices run 20 Antique Nickel, 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome. Ordering by BHMA number is the safest way to match cylinders across a fleet of doors.
13) Is there a cheaper rim cylinder option if I don't need Medeco level key control?
If the opening does not need patent-protected key control, a standard commercial rim cylinder covers it. The Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and the 20-022 is the same with a horizontal cam, both supplied with two keys. Pick the tailpiece orientation your device needs. The tradeoff is that you give up the ANSI A156.30 Level A key control and UL437 drill and pick resistance the Medeco carries.
14) Is a 5-pin Medeco cylinder enough for a commercial door, or should I be looking at 6-pin?
The 1065244 is a 5-pin cylinder and it is classed for commercial use, certified ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy traffic. On Medeco the security comes from the angled, rotating pin cuts and the patented keyway, not from pin count alone. The practical driver is your existing system: if the building is already keyed on a 5-pin Medeco bitting, ordering 5-pin keeps it on the same key. Peers like the Corbin Russwin 3070 rim housing and the Schlage 20-021 are 6-pin and belong to different keying systems entirely.
15) I am replacing a key-in-knob or key-in-lever cylinder, not a rim cylinder - what fits?
The Medeco 1065244 is a rim type cylinder for rim applications. For a knob or lever chassis, the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. For a deadbolt, the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. The Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T Series 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys. These are different cylinder bodies with different tailpieces, so the rim part number does not cross to them.
16) What is the difference between the Medeco 1065244 and a BEST 12E dummy rim cylinder?
The BEST 12E Series is a dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter - a blank that fills the rim cylinder hole and turns nothing. The Medeco 1065244 is a working 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece that actually operates the hardware. Use the dummy where an opening needs the outside appearance of a keyed cylinder without key access, and the 1065244 where the door has to be keyed and operated.
17) The Medeco 1065244 is 5-pin - what if my keying system runs 6 or 7 pins?
The 1065244 is a 5-pin cylinder, offered in Biaxial or M3 technology. If the master key system is built on deeper pin stacks, the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, the Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 rim cylinders are 6-pin, and the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway at 1-1/8 inch. For 7-pin, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series. Pin count has to match the system the building is already keyed to.
18) Can I use the Medeco 1065244 on an Adams Rite narrow stile aluminum door?
The 1065244 is a rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, built to retrofit knob and lever cylindrical locksets, padlocks, and bored auxiliary deadlatches and deadlocks. Adams Rite narrow stile deadlocks take their own cylinder pulls: the 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. Match the pull to the deadlock family rather than substituting the rim cylinder.
19) What is a lazy motion rim cylinder and where does it get used?
Lazy motion refers to the tailpiece movement, where the tailpiece has play before it drives the lock rather than being rigidly coupled to the plug. On the 1065244 it is what lets a single rim cylinder body serve across the range of knob, lever, padlock, and bored deadlatch retrofits it covers, instead of needing a dedicated cylinder per lock.
20) Which rim cylinder should I standardize on across a facility if I want one finish family to match existing hardware?
The Medeco 1065244 is offered across 13 finish codes, including 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome, in Biaxial or M3 technology. Among the interchangeable core peers, the Schlage 20-057-C is called out in 643E Aged Bronze. If the standard has to hold one finish across a mixed set of openings, the 1065244 covers the widest decorative range of the rim options here.
