Schlage 23-065 C 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does handing matter when I order the Schlage 23-065 key-in-lever cylinder for ND Series levers?
There is no handing to specify. The 23-065 is non-handed, so the same part number goes into a left-hand or a right-hand ND Series lever. That matters when you are replacing cylinders down a corridor where the doors swing different ways: you order one cylinder and sort the order only by key section and finish, not by swing. The body is brass and stainless steel, six pin.
2) I need a cylinder for a Schlage L9000 mortise lock. Is the 23-065 the right part?
Wrong body style. The 23-065 goes into ND Series levers; a mortise lock takes a threaded mortise cylinder with a cam on the back. For an L9000, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch six pin LFIC mortise cylinder listed for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with the A01 Schlage L cam. If you are not running interchangeable core, Corbin Russwin also lists the 1000 Series Grade 1 mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, and the 1070 Grade 1 housing in 1-1/4 inch, six pin, with an A01 cloverleaf cam. Cam style and cylinder length are the two things to confirm against the lock case.
3) What is used on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door instead of a key-in-lever cylinder?
Storefront stiles are too narrow for a lever cylinder, so the keyed part is a cylinder pull or a mortise cylinder sized for thin stiles. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting for MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch systems, and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the same MS1847 systems using through-screws. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder that works on material from 1/2 inch thick. For a wood door running an Adams Rite 5017 deadlock or deadlatch, the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is the matching part. The Schlage 23-065 belongs on ND Series levers in a swing door with a lever, not on a stile door.
4) What is the Falcon equivalent of the Schlage 23-065 key-in-lever cylinder?
The Schlage 23-065 is a 6-pin key-in-lever cylinder for ND Series levers, non-handed, supplied with 2 keys. Falcon's counterpart is the A23161-05 G, a key-in-lever cylinder for Falcon RU/T Series levers with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with 2 cut keys. Each is built around the lever series named on it, so the lever already hanging in the door decides the part: ND Series levers take the Schlage 23-065, Falcon RU/T levers take the A23161-05 G.
5) Will a Detex MC65 mortise cylinder fit an ND Series lever?
No. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder, a threaded body that screws into a mortise lock case. The Schlage 23-065 is a cylindrical lever cylinder, which seats in the lever itself. The two do share a key system: the MC65 is cut for the Schlage C keyway and the 23-065 is offered in C keyway, so both can run on the same C key on a building master, but one will not go into the other's opening.
6) What cylinder goes into a Schlage L9000 mortise lock?
That opening takes a mortise cylinder, not a lever cylinder. The Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder built for Schlage L9000 mortise locks and supplied with an A01 Schlage L cam. The Schlage 23-065 is the key-in-lever format, a 6-pin cylinder for ND Series levers. A building running ND levers on offices and L9000 mortise locks on corridor and stair doors carries both parts rather than one.
7) Can anyone buy the Everest and Everest 29 Open (C and S keyway) versions of this Schlage cylinder?
Commercial security professionals only. Everest and Everest 29 Open covers the non-Primus products in the Everest C and Everest 29 S keyways and key sections, and Schlage sells those only to commercial security professionals, who are permitted to stock them and to originate or duplicate keys without signature verification. Resale is allowed to end users and to other commercial security dealers with a professional locksmith on staff, but is expressly prohibited to residential retail outlets and to anyone buying or selling through auction. If you run a property portfolio rather than a locksmith shop, this is a part your security dealer orders on your behalf.
8) Can I get the 23-065 cylinder face to match the finish of the Schlage levers already on my doors?
Five finishes are made: 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze. Match by the BHMA number stamped on your existing hardware rather than by the finish name, since bronzes in particular photograph alike and read differently in a corridor. The cylinder face is the part that shows in the lever, so on a building with mixed finishes you can hold one key section across the whole order and split only the finish line by line.
9) Do Schlage 23-065 lever cylinders come with keys, or do I have to order keys on top?
Two keys come with each cylinder. Worth counting before you order a rekey: 20 cylinders arrive with 40 keys, and if the tenants and the maintenance crew each need one, that is where the shortfall shows up. Keyed alike is a keying instruction applied at order, not a different part number, so the cylinder itself is the same six pin body in whichever key section you chose.
10) Will a Schlage key-in-lever cylinder like the 23-065 work in a rim exit device?
No. The 23-065 is a key-in-lever cylinder, a different body and tailpiece from what an exit device takes. A rim device needs a rim cylinder with the tailpiece length the device calls for. ZenSupply carries the Corbin Russwin 3070 six pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece for that job. Check the tailpiece length your device requires before ordering, because that is the dimension that decides whether the cylinder drives the device.
11) What replacement cylinder do I use for a Sargent knob or lever?
The Kaba Ilco 1579 knob and lever cylinder is the one built for Sargent. Ilco also lists the 1539 Series as a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, and the 1599 as a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. The Schlage 23-065 is a Schlage key-in-lever cylinder and does not cross to a Sargent lever, so match the cylinder to the lock brand on the door.
12) Is the Schlage 23-065 an interchangeable core cylinder, or does it have to be repinned to rekey?
It is a conventional six pin key-in-lever cylinder, so rekeying means pulling it and repinning it in the same key section. If you want a core you can pull with a control key and swap on the spot, that is a separate keying program: ZenSupply carries the BEST 1C Series standard five pin core, the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented seven pin brass core in the 150 Series. Those run in their own core housings and are a different key system from a conventional Schlage cylinder, so it is a decision you make for the building, not door by door.
13) Is a rim cylinder interchangeable with a key-in-lever cylinder?
No, they mount in different places and drive different hardware. The Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, which passes through the door to operate a surface-mounted device. The BEST 12E Series rim cylinder is a dummy at 1-5/32 inch diameter, so it fills the prep and matches the look without a keyed function at all. The Schlage 23-065 is a 6-pin cylinder that goes into the lever on ND Series trim. Match the format to the prep in the door before matching the keyway.
14) Is there a key-in-lever cylinder that covers more than one manufacturer's locks?
The Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob and key-in-lever cylinder, and Ilco also builds brand-targeted replacements such as the 1579 knob and lever cylinder for Sargent and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder. The Schlage 23-065 works the opposite way: it accepts any Schlage keyway and fits Schlage locksets and deadbolts, which is what keeps a Schlage-keyed portfolio on one key. For a mixed fleet with several lock brands on the doors, the universal Ilco 1539 spans knob and lever trim from more than one maker; for a site standardized on Schlage, the 23-065 stays on the keyway already in service.
15) What are the mortise cylinder choices when the opening takes a mortise lock rather than a lever?
Two things get matched on a mortise cylinder, the length and the cam. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder is 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam. The Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 mortise housing is 1-1/4 inch, 6-pin, with an A01 cloverleaf cam. The Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder for material from 1/2 inch thick, which is the thin-stile end of the range. The Schlage 23-065 covers the other format, a 6-pin cylinder that seats in an ND Series lever.
16) We rekey doors constantly. What is the alternative to a standard pinned lever cylinder?
An interchangeable core is the alternative, because the core comes out as a unit with a control key instead of being pinned in place. BEST offers the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder and the 1C5 standard 5-pin cylinder core, and the 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in 7-pin brass, 150 Series. The Schlage 23-065 is the standard route: a 6-pin cylinder supplied 0 bitted in the C and S keyway families, which lets a locksmith pin it to a system already running in the building.
17) What are the options when a standard 6-pin cylinder does not give enough key control?
Two directions are open. Staying with the Schlage modular cylinder, the 23-065 supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP, and Classic key systems, so a move to a restricted key section happens inside the same cylinder platform rather than by changing lock hardware. Going the interchangeable core route instead, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core, 7-pin, in brass, 150 Series. The first keeps the ND Series levers and the key system already in the building; the second changes the core format across the openings.
18) What cylinder retrofits a deadbolt or a handleset rather than a lever?
Those take a rim type or key-in-deadbolt cylinder with the right tailpiece motion. The Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. The Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. The Schlage 23-065 is the commercial key-in-lever part for ND Series levers, so an entrance running a handleset and a separate deadbolt is a different cylinder order from the lever openings on the same job.
19) Is the Schlage 23-065 a repair part I can order on its own, or do I have to buy a whole new lever?
It is sold as a replacement part on its own, which is the point of it: when a tenant turns over or a key walks off, you change the cylinder in the existing ND lever instead of pulling the lockset. Commercial rated, brass and stainless steel, six pin, non-handed, two keys with each one. For a multi-tenant building that turns units regularly, this is the part you stock, not the lever.
20) What cylinder works with an Emtek handleset or deadbolt?
Emtek trim uses its own cylinder and tailpiece rather than a Schlage lever cylinder. The Emtek CY4 is the brand's own cylinder, sold each. On the retrofit side, the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and as the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The Schlage 23-065 belongs in ND Series levers and comes in 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze to match Schlage trim.
