Schlage 23-118 S123 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Schlage locks does the 23-118 cylinder fit?
The 23-118 is the key-in-knob style cylinder Schlage lists for AD Series levers and for MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions. It is a replacement cylinder only, not a complete lockset, so the lever and chassis already on the door stay put and only the cylinder changes. Six-pin, and two keys come with it.
2) Does the Schlage 23-118 cylinder come keyed, or do I have to have keys cut for it?
Every 23-118 ships 0 bitted, so it is pinned to all-zero cuts rather than to a working key. A locksmith repins it to your system before it goes in the lever. Two keys are supplied with each cylinder. Budget for the keying labour on the job, because it is not a drop-in ready-to-use part out of the box.
3) Can Schlage 23-118 cylinders be keyed alike or master keyed with the rest of my building?
Yes, and that is the reason it comes 0 bitted. Order it in the keyway stamped on your existing keys and a locksmith brings it onto your keying system. Classic keyways offered are C, CE, E, EF, F, FG and G, plus the C multiplex keyways C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C234, C245 and C345. Everest 29 S keyways offered are S124, S125, S134, S145, S234, S235, S245 and S345. Six pins, so it fits a 6-pin master key system.
4) I have satin chrome Schlage AD levers - which finish of the 23-118 cylinder do I order?
626 satin chrome is the match, and 606 satin brass is the other finish offered. Only the cylinder face shows once it is in the lever, so the finish call is purely about that face blending with the trim around it.
5) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Schlage 23-118 cylinder?
No handing to call out. The 23-118 is non-handed, so the same part covers left and right hand openings. Ordering a run of cylinders for a floor or a building means one line item instead of two.
6) The opening has a mortise lock rather than a lever with a key-in-knob cylinder. What replaces the 23-118 there?
The 23-118 is a key-in-knob cylinder for Schlage AD levers and MS, MD, 993R/S/M functions, so a mortise case takes a threaded mortise cylinder instead. Detex builds the MC65 mortise cylinder in a 1-1/8 inch, 6-pin commercial form with a Schlage C keyway, which keeps the key section familiar on a Schlage-keyed site. Corbin Russwin covers the same job with the 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder at 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, and the 1070 Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. Cam style and cylinder length are what decide which mortise part matches the case; neither applies to the 23-118, which seats in lever trim rather than threading into a mortise body.
7) Can a Schlage 23-118 cylinder be used in a rim exit device?
Wrong cylinder type for an exit device. Rim devices take a rim cylinder with a tailpiece that reaches through the door into the device; the 23-118 is built for key-in-knob and key-in-lever applications on AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions. For a rim device, the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
8) Is the Schlage 23-118 an interchangeable core cylinder?
It is a conventional 6-pin cylinder, keyed by pinning the cylinder body itself, not a core you can pull with a control key. Facilities that standardize on removable cores should look at BEST instead: the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, or the 1C Series standard 5-pin core. On mortise openings, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder listed for Schlage L9000 locks with an A01 cam.
9) Is there a key-in-lever cylinder that arrives already cut instead of 0 bitted?
Falcon's A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys in a 6-pin G keyway, but it is built for Falcon RU/T Series levers, so it is not a swap for a Schlage AD lever. Kaba Ilco's 1539 Series is sold as a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder. For Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, the part that fits is the 23-118, and it needs keying before installation.
10) Is the Schlage 23-118 a commercial cylinder or a residential one?
Commercial. Brass and stainless steel construction, six pins, and it is the cylinder specified for AD Series levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, all of which are commercial openings. That pin count also matters for procurement: a 6-pin cylinder can be brought onto a commercial master key system, where a 5-pin residential cylinder often cannot.
11) Is there a key-in-lever cylinder from another manufacturer that does the same job as the Schlage 23-118?
The 23-118 is a 6-pin cylindrical lever cylinder made to fit Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, and it ships with two keys. The closest counterpart from another maker is the Falcon A23161-05 G, a key in lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different, supplied with two cut keys, and catalogued in the Q330 series. The practical difference is how each arrives: the Falcon comes already bitted to its own key, while the 23-118 keyways ship 0 bitted so they can be pinned to the key system already running in the building. The Falcon is also a Falcon-lock part, so it goes into Falcon trim rather than the Schlage AD, MS, MD and 993 functions the 23-118 is cut for.
12) The lever on the door is not a Schlage AD. What key-in-knob style cylinder covers a mixed set of locks?
The 23-118 is cut for Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, so it is the right part only where those locks are on the door. For a building running a mix of lever and knob locks from different makers, Kaba Ilco builds the 1539 series as a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, and the 1599 as a key-in-knob replacement cylinder. Both are aftermarket replacement cylinders rather than lock-specific factory parts, which is why they are the usual answer when a property manager is rekeying doors that were not all bought at the same time.
13) We standardized on Sargent knobs and levers. Is the 23-118 the cylinder for those?
No. The 23-118 is built to the Schlage AD lever and MS, MD, 993R/S/M functions. For Sargent knob and lever trim, Kaba Ilco makes the 1579 knob and lever cylinder, which is specified for Sargent. The two parts do the same thing in the door - carry the key and drive the lock - but they are made to different lock platforms, so they are not interchangeable in the same trim.
14) Same building, but some doors are on Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Does the 23-118 go in those?
It does not. The 23-118 serves Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions. For an L9000 mortise lock, Corbin Russwin makes the 1080 Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, specified for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 Schlage L cam. That part is a large format interchangeable core cylinder, so the core is pulled and swapped with a control key, whereas the 23-118 is a conventional cylinder that is pinned by a locksmith.
15) What cylinder do I order for a rim exit device on the same key system as the 23-118 doors?
A rim device takes a rim cylinder with a tailpiece, not a key-in-knob cylinder. Corbin Russwin makes the 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece in the 3000 series for that application. The 23-118 shares the 6-pin format, so both sit in the same pin count, but the 23-118 is the lever-side part for Schlage AD, MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions and does not carry a rim tailpiece.
16) Which cylinders look like a swap for the 23-118 but will not work in a keyed lever?
Three kinds get ordered by mistake. The Kaba Ilco 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, so it serves a deadbolt rather than the lever trim the 23-118 fits. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder with a 1-5/32 inch diameter is a dummy - it fills the hole and turns nothing, so it never carries a key function. And the Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are pull assemblies designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, not cylinders that drop into a lever. The 23-118 is a keyed 6-pin cylinder for Schlage AD levers and MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, which is a different job from all three.
17) For standardizing keying across a whole facility, how does the Schlage modular cylinder approach differ from an interchangeable core system?
They solve the same inventory problem in two different ways. The Schlage modular cylinder the 23-118 belongs to converts between mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob types by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, and it supports interchangeability between the Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems, so one cylinder body covers several lock types. BEST works from the core side: the 1C series standard 5-pin cylinder core, the Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, and the 1CDF drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 series core all pull and drop into housings already in the doors. With modular, the housing changes to suit the lock; with interchangeable core, the core changes and the housing stays put.
18) Can the 23-118 be used in a residential handleset or deadbolt?
The 23-118 is a commercial cylinder for Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions, so it belongs in commercial lever trim. Handlesets and residential deadbolts take rim style retrofit cylinders instead. Medeco makes the 1075127 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1065140 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, the 1065244 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1012040 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Emtek also lists the CY4 cylinder as a parts item for its own hardware.
19) The door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile, not a hollow metal door with a lever. What cylinder goes there instead of the 23-118?
Storefront deadlocks are their own family. Adams Rite makes the 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security, a Grade 1 part in the 4036 series rated to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, which is what lets it work in a narrow stile. The 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws are both designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is designed for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. The 23-118 stays with Schlage AD levers and the MS, MD and 993R/S/M functions.
20) I am quoting a job that calls for 6-pin cylinders throughout. Which cross-brand parts match the 23-118 on pin count, and which are 5-pin or 7-pin?
The 23-118 is a 6-pin cylinder. Other 6-pin parts across brands include the Falcon A23161-05 G key in lever cylinder with a 6-pin G keyway, the Detex MC65 mortise cylinder at 1-1/8 inch, the Corbin Russwin 3070 rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, the Corbin Russwin 1070 1-1/4 inch mortise housing, the Corbin Russwin 1080 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, and the Medeco 1012040 lazy motion rim cylinder. Running five pins are the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin core, the Adams Rite 4025 and 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pulls, the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder with five-pin security, and the Medeco 1065140, 1065244 and 1075127 retrofit and rim cylinders. The BEST 1CDF drill resistant patented interchangeable core is 7-pin. Pin count has to be read together with body style, since a 6-pin rim or mortise part still will not seat in the lever trim the 23-118 is made for.
