Schlage 20-001 E 138 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Schlage 20-001 the whole mortise lock, or just the cylinder?
Cylinder only. The 20-001 is the keyed mortise cylinder, supplied with a compression ring and spring, and it is sold as a replacement part. The mortise lock case, trim, levers and strike are not part of it. It threads into the cylinder pocket of the lock case already in the door, and the cam on the back of it is what drives the lock mechanism. Two keys come with each cylinder.
2) Will the straight cam on the Schlage 20-001 mortise cylinder work with my lock body?
The cam is the thing to settle before ordering, because a mortise cylinder only operates the lock if the cam matches what that lock case expects. The 20-001 comes with the straight cam, Schlage cam number L583-476. If a different configuration is needed, that is what the modular design is for: the same cylinder is converted to another cylinder type by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing rather than buying a different cylinder outright.
3) My mortise cylinder sits loose in the lock face and keeps turning in the pocket. Does this Schlage cylinder fix that?
That is what the compression ring and spring shipped with the 20-001 are there for. They sit behind the cylinder collar and take up the slack between the cylinder and the door face, so the cylinder pulls up tight against the trim instead of spinning or sitting proud, with no shimming and no hunting for a cylinder one increment longer. Where the door or trim is genuinely deeper, Schlage handles that at the back of the cylinder instead: the modular cylinder is offered in six rear housing lengths.
4) Can I key a Schlage 20-001 mortise cylinder into the master key system already running in my building?
Yes, provided the building runs a Schlage keyway that is offered. Keyway is chosen at order from C, CE, E, EF and FG, plus the multiplex family: C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C234, C235, C245 and the S-series S123, S124, S125, S134, S135, S145, S234 and S345. The modular cylinder also supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems, so a facility part way through a key system migration can stay on one cylinder platform across both. Each cylinder comes with two keys.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Schlage 20-001 mortise cylinder?
Four decisions: keyway, finish, cam and keying. Handing is not one of them, the cylinder is non-handed, so the same part goes on a left or right hand door. Keyway and finish are the two options selected on the order. The cam supplied is the straight cam, L583-476. Keying, whether keyed different, keyed alike across a run of doors, or into an existing master system, follows the key system specified, and the choice between Classic, Everest 29 and Primus XP is where basic security and enhanced security are decided. Two keys ship with the cylinder.
6) Can I get this Schlage mortise cylinder in a finish that matches the lock trim already on my doors?
Twelve finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel and 643E aged bronze. Only the front housing is visible once the cylinder is in the lock, and Schlage builds that front housing in all the lock finishes, so replacing one cylinder in a run of openings does not have to show. 626 and 630 are the two BHMA finish codes you will find on most existing commercial hardware.
7) Do I need a mortise cylinder or a rim cylinder for my door?
They are not interchangeable, and the lock decides it. A mortise cylinder like the 20-001 has a threaded body that screws into the cylinder pocket of a mortise lock case and turns a cam. A rim cylinder mounts through the door from the inside face and drives a flat tailpiece, which is what a rim exit device takes. If the opening needs the rim style, the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. The Schlage modular platform does cross over: the same cylinder is adaptable to mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob applications by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing.
8) I want a removable core so my locksmith can rekey without pulling the cylinder. Is the Schlage 20-001 that?
No. The 20-001 is a conventional keyed mortise cylinder, so rekeying means repinning the plug, not swapping a core. For a large format interchangeable core in a Schlage L9000 mortise lock, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is listed as a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with the A01 Schlage L cam. Small format interchangeable core is a separate platform again: BEST 1C standard 5-pin cores and the 1CB Peaks core are in that family, and they need an SFIC housing to sit in.
9) What other mortise cylinders could I use instead of the Schlage 20-001?
It comes down to the lock case and the key system. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder is offered in a 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. For aluminum storefront, the Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin Grade 1 mortise cylinder that works from a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. If the site is already keyed to Schlage C, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder cut for the Schlage C keyway. Length and cam have to suit the lock case in every one of those, and those two are what decide the swap, not the brand on the front.
10) Does the Schlage 20-001 cylinder meet the ANSI standard our facility spec calls out for commercial openings?
BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, and it is built as commercial hardware rather than residential. A156.5 is the BHMA standard covering cylinders and input devices for locks, so a specification that calls for A156.5 compliance on the cylinder is met by the certification carried on the 20-001. Useful where a facility is standardizing one cylinder across many openings, since the same certified cylinder covers every door on the system.
11) I need a straight cam mortise cylinder and I am not tied to Schlage. What else runs a straight cam?
The Schlage 20-001 is a mortise cylinder built around cam L583-476, a straight cam. The closest cross-brand equivalent in the same style is the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length, which carries an A02 straight cam. Both present a straight cam to the lock body, so the check before you order either one is the same: confirm the cam profile and throw your mortise lock case actually requires, since a straight cam from one manufacturer is not automatically dimensioned like a straight cam from another.
12) Can I substitute a cloverleaf cam mortise cylinder for a straight cam one?
No, the cam is the drive, not a trim detail. The Schlage 20-001 mortise cylinder uses cam L583-476, a straight cam. The Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 Series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing runs an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 Series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder also runs an A01 cam, described as a Schlage L cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. A cloverleaf cam engages a different part of the lock case than a straight cam, so pick the cam by what the lock body is looking for and treat cylinder length and cam as two separate decisions.
13) My exit device takes a cylinder with a tailpiece. Is a mortise cylinder the right part or do I need a rim cylinder?
Those are two different cylinder formats and they are not interchangeable. The Schlage 20-001 is a mortise cylinder, threaded into the lock case and driving the lock through cam L583-476. A rim cylinder instead passes a flat tailpiece through the door to the back of the device, which is what the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece is built for. If what you are looking at is a rim application, order the rim housing and match tailpiece length to door thickness; if the cylinder threads into a lock case, the mortise cylinder is the part.
14) We want to rekey doors by swapping cores instead of repinning cylinders. Is a conventional mortise cylinder the wrong direction?
It depends on how your facility handles turnover. The Schlage 20-001 is a conventional keyed mortise cylinder supplied with a compression ring and spring and two keys, so rekeying means pinning the cylinder. If you want the core to come out with a control key, the interchangeable core route is the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder or the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core, a 7-pin brass 150 Series core, with the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core as the plain figure-eight core option. There is also a large format interchangeable core mortise path in the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 Series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder built for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Decide core format first, because it dictates the housing, not the other way round.
15) The building is keyed to Schlage C. Do I have to buy Schlage cylinders to stay on that key system?
Not necessarily. The Schlage 20-001 mortise cylinder is offered in a C keyway, and the modular design supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems, so it can be brought onto an existing Schlage system directly. If you need a mortise cylinder from another manufacturer that still takes the same key, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder cut for the Schlage C keyway. Either way, confirm the keyway designation on the key in hand before ordering, since C, C123, C145 and the rest are distinct keyways within the same family.
16) Our spec calls out a certified commercial mortise cylinder. What are my options for meeting that?
The Schlage 20-001 is a commercial mortise cylinder that is BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, and it is non-handed, so one part number covers both hands of a pair of doors. The Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a Grade 1 cylinder with five-pin security that suits doors of 1/2 inch minimum thickness, which is the range narrow stile aluminum work lives in. Match the certification language in the submittal to the cylinder before you order, and check door and stile thickness at the same time, because that is what usually decides between the two.
17) The storefront door has an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and no exterior handle. Will a mortise cylinder alone finish that opening?
A bare mortise cylinder gives you the key, not the grip. The Schlage 20-001 is a mortise cylinder on its own, supplied with a compression ring and spring. For an MS1847 deadlock where the crew also needs something to pull the door with, the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate and the Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull that mounts with through-screws, both designed for use with the MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch. The wood door counterpart is the Adams Rite 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull, designed for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. Pick by the lock model in the door and by whether the exterior side needs a pull.
18) The doors are keyed levers, not mortise locks. Which cylinder do I order?
A keyed lever takes a key-in-lever cylinder, which is a different housing from a mortise cylinder. The Schlage 20-001 is a mortise cylinder, although the modular design is adaptable to mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob applications by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing. If you would rather order the lever cylinder as a finished part, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder, RU/T Series, 6-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with 2 cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, with the Kaba Ilco 1599 as a key-in-knob replacement cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder cut for Sargent. Identify the lock chassis first, because that is what fixes the cylinder format.
19) Our unit entry doors have Emtek handlesets and Kwikset deadbolts. Is a commercial mortise cylinder what I should be buying for those?
No, those openings take a different cylinder family. The Schlage 20-001 is a commercial mortise cylinder that threads into a mortise lock case. For handleset and deadbolt work, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and for Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, with the Emtek CY4 cylinder sold individually. The Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts if you are covering both in one order. Match the cylinder to the lock brand and to whether it drives a tailpiece or a cam.
20) I need a non-functioning cylinder to fill a hole in a device that is never keyed. Can I use a keyed mortise cylinder for that?
You can, but it is more part than the job needs. The Schlage 20-001 is a keyed mortise cylinder that comes with two keys and a compression ring and spring, so using it as a filler means carrying a key you will never issue. The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, is the non-keyed part for that purpose. Check whether the hole is a rim prep or a threaded mortise prep before ordering, since the dummy is a rim format.
