Schlage 20-022 C 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Schlage 20-022 rim cylinder key into the Schlage locks already on my building?
Keying into an existing Schlage system is the normal use for it. The modular cylinder design accepts any Schlage keyway and fits all Schlage locksets and deadbolts, so the decision is which keyway and how it gets pinned, not whether it fits. It is a conventional cylinder, pinned internally, so a locksmith cuts and pins it to your existing key rather than dropping a core into it. Order it in the keyway your building already runs and it can be keyed alike or brought into your master system.
2) How do I make sure the Schlage rim cylinder I order accepts the keys I already carry?
Match the keyway section, because a cylinder in the wrong section will not take your key blank at all. The Schlage rim cylinder is offered in C, CE, E, EF, F, FG and G, plus the multiplex sections C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C245, C345 and S123. Pull a key off the doors you are matching, read the section off the blank, and order that keyway. Get this wrong and the cylinder is not rekeyable to your key, it is simply the wrong blank.
3) Can I order several Schlage 20-022 rim cylinders keyed alike so one key runs all the doors?
Yes, and keying is an order-time choice rather than a different part number. Keyed different is the standard, keyed alike puts the whole batch on one key, and when you are matching hardware you already own you supply the key code so the cylinders are cut to it. One condition: every cylinder in the group has to be in the same keyway section, so specify the same keyway across the order. The cylinder accepts any Schlage keyway and fits all Schlage locksets and deadbolts, so a keyed alike group can span rim devices and the Schlage locks on the rest of the property.
4) Do I need a rim cylinder or a mortise cylinder for my lock?
The lock decides it, not the door. A rim cylinder sits flat against the outside face and drives the lock through a tailpiece, which is what a rim exit device or a surface mounted rim lock takes. A mortise cylinder has a threaded body that screws into the lock case and turns a cam, so mortise locks and mortise exit device trim need that type instead, such as the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series Grade 1 mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, the 1070 Grade 1 housing in 1-1/4 inch with an A01 cloverleaf cam, or the Detex MC65 at 1-1/8 inch. Quick check at the door: threaded body with a cam is mortise, flat back with a tailpiece is rim.
5) What is the closest cross-brand match for a Schlage 20-022 rim cylinder?
The nearest equivalent in the set is the Corbin Russwin 3070-178, a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece from the Corbin Russwin 3000 series. Both are rim cylinders for a rim prep, so the deciding factor is the key system rather than the body. The Schlage 20-022 is a conventional rim cylinder whose modular design accepts any Schlage keyway, and it is built in C, C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C245, C345, CE, E, EF, F, FG, G and S123 sections, which is what lets it be cut into an existing Schlage master system. The 3070-178 belongs to the Corbin Russwin 3000 series and suits a building already keyed to Corbin Russwin. Confirm the tailpiece the device expects before you cross them, since the 3070-178 is specified at 1-7/8 inch.
6) The trim on my door is prepped for a mortise cylinder, not a rim cylinder. What do I order instead?
For a mortise prep, the comparable options are the Corbin Russwin 1000 series Grade 1 mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, or the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 series in 1-1/4 inch, a 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. Cam style and cylinder length both have to match what the lock body or device trim expects, so read the length off the existing cylinder before ordering. There is also a route that keeps you on Schlage keying: the 20-022 is built on the Schlage modular cylinder platform, where one cylinder converts to mortise, rim or key-in-lever by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, with six rear housing lengths available for thicker doors.
7) I need a mortise cylinder that will key into the same Schlage C system as my rim cylinders. Which one does that?
The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder supplied in the Schlage C keyway, so it sits on the same keyway section as a Schlage 20-022 ordered in C. Plain C is one of sixteen sections offered on the 20-022, alongside C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C245, C345, CE, E, EF, F, FG, G and S123, so check the bitting and section on an existing key first. A building running one of the C1xx sections will not accept a plain C cylinder into the same system.
8) Our facility runs BEST interchangeable cores. Will this Schlage rim cylinder accept one of our cores?
No. This is a conventional rim cylinder, pinned inside the housing, with no core to pull, so it sits outside an interchangeable core rekeying scheme. On an IC system you keep the housing and swap the core, which is what the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core does, with the Peaks 1CB 150 Series and the drill resistant 1CDF 7-pin core in brass as the patented options. If the goal is one facility on one core platform, put an IC cylinder on that opening instead. If the opening is a one-off and the rest of the building is Schlage keyed, the conventional cylinder is the simpler answer.
9) Can I put this Schlage cylinder in a Kwikset or Emtek deadbolt or handleset?
It is built around Schlage: any Schlage keyway, and it fits Schlage locksets and deadbolts. For other brands the cylinder has to match that maker's tailpiece and motion. Medeco covers several of those: 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, the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the outside cylinder on Emtek handlesets and deadbolts. Pick by the lock you are putting it in, not by the hole size.
10) Will this rim cylinder work on an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlock?
Wrong family for that opening. Narrow stile aluminum doors running Adams Rite MS deadlocks take a mortise cylinder or a cylinder pull. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five pin mortise cylinder that works on doors down to a 1/2 inch minimum thickness, which is where a storefront stile lands. If the door needs a pull as well as a key, the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin cylinder pull with through screws are both made for the MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, and the 4026 is the version for the 5017 wood door deadlock. The Schlage rim cylinder belongs on rim mounted locks and devices.
11) If I stock Schlage modular cylinders in the van, can I turn one into a mortise or key-in-lever cylinder on the job?
That is what the modular platform is for. Changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing converts one cylinder between mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob use, and six rear housing lengths cover thicker doors. Front housings come in all the lock finishes, so the finish match is a housing choice rather than a separate cylinder. For a locksmith that means fewer part numbers on the shelf and fewer trips back for the right cylinder type.
12) Is a BEST 12E dummy rim cylinder a substitute for the Schlage 20-022?
No - it looks like the same part in a bin and does the opposite job. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, fills a rim prep and has no key function. The Schlage 20-022 is a working conventional rim cylinder on the Schlage modular platform, cut to a Schlage keyway. Order the 12E when a rim hole needs to be closed off and nothing is meant to operate through it, and the 20-022 when the opening has to be keyed.
13) Our buildings are standardized on interchangeable cores. What is the equivalent to a Schlage 20-022 there?
There is no like-for-like, because the two are different service systems. In the BEST line, the 1C series is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, the 1CB is a Peaks 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, and the 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, also 150 series - all of them cores that swap in and out of interchangeable core housings. The Schlage 20-022 is a conventional rim cylinder built in brass and stainless steel, pinned to one of sixteen Schlage keyway sections. If the facility is genuinely standardized on cores, keep the openings on cores; mixing a conventional rim cylinder into that program creates a second key system to manage.
14) The lock I am rekeying is a keyed lever. Do I use a rim cylinder or a different part?
A keyed lever or knob takes a key-in-lever cylinder, not a rim cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks. Falcon offers the A23161-05 G, a key-in-lever cylinder for the RU/T series in a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys. If you want to stay on one platform, the Schlage 20-022 is a modular cylinder that converts to key-in-lever or key-in-knob by changing the front and back housing, and the modular design fits all Schlage locksets and deadbolts.
15) What mortise cylinder suits a thin door, and how does the 20-022 handle door thickness?
The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security, listed to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, which is the option to look at on a thin aluminum stile. Going the other direction on thickness, the Schlage modular platform the 20-022 is built on offers six rear housing lengths to accommodate thicker doors, so length is handled by the rear housing rather than by moving to a different cylinder. Note the 4036 is a mortise cylinder and the 20-022 is a rim cylinder, so they answer different preps, not the same one.
16) Can one cylinder cover rim, mortise and key-in-lever openings, or do I have to stock a separate part number for each?
Both approaches exist in the market. Corbin Russwin is ordered discretely: the 3070-178 is a rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, the 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the 1000 series is a 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder with an A02 straight cam - each part bought for its own application. The Schlage 20-022 is built on the modular cylinder, where one cylinder converts to three cylinder types by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, and it supports interchangeability between the Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems. For a truck stock or an MRO crib, that is the difference between carrying one platform in the finishes you need - 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome - and carrying a separate housing for every prep.
17) Is the Schlage 20-022 rim cylinder handed? I have left hand and right hand doors in the same building.
Non-handed. The same rim cylinder goes on left hand and right hand openings, so a fleet order does not have to be split by hand and you can carry one spare that fits any door in the building. Handing is set by the lock or exit device, not by the cylinder.
18) What finish do I order so the cylinder matches the exit devices and locks already on my doors?
Seven finishes are available on the Schlage rim cylinder: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Go by the BHMA number on the hardware you are matching rather than by the finish name, since bronzes and chromes read very differently between makers. Most commercial openings land on 626 satin chrome, which is also the closest match to the 630 satin stainless trim common on exit devices.
19) I only need to fill the hole where an old rim cylinder was. Do I have to buy a working cylinder?
Not if nothing on that side has to lock. A dummy rim cylinder fills the prep and keeps the door looking right with no key function at all, and the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder is made for that at 1-5/32 inch diameter. Buy the keyed Schlage rim cylinder when the opening actually has to be secured or brought onto your key system, since a dummy cannot be pinned or rekeyed later.
20) What do I order for the deadbolt on the same door, since the rim cylinder only covers the exit device?
For a deadbolt, the Kaba Ilco 1549 series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, and the 1539 universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder is the companion part where the same door also carries a keyed knob or lever. Staying inside Schlage is the other route: the 20-022 is a modular cylinder that accepts any Schlage keyway and fits Schlage locksets and deadbolts, so the exit device and the deadbolt can be built off the same cylinder platform and keyed together rather than being sourced as two unrelated parts.

    These work amazing, I am building a new classroom building. The door company that installed the glass doors wouldn't help at all with the locks being difficult to use. I look on here and found this and thought I'd give them a try. Amazing, super easy to install and works vary smooth.
