Schlage 26-021 S123 112 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage 26-021 mortise cylinder work in my Schlage mortise lock case?
It is supplied as a mortise cylinder with a straight cam, so it goes into a lock case whose hub takes a straight cam. Handing is not a factor, the cylinder is non-handed and works on a left or right hand door with no change. Two cut keys come with it. The two things you settle at order are the keyway and the finish.
2) Is there a shorter mortise cylinder that still takes a Schlage C key?
The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder with a Schlage C keyway, which makes it the short housing choice when the cylinder pocket or the door will not accept a longer body. The 26-021 is also ordered by keyway, with C family options such as C123 and C145 among the choices, so both can be specified into a Schlage keyed house. Housing length is the practical separator between them, so measure the pocket depth and door thickness, then give your locksmith the exact keyway so the cylinder arrives pinned to the right system.
3) Is there a straight cam mortise cylinder from another brand that does the same job as the Schlage 26-021?
The closest cross-brand match is the Corbin Russwin 1000 Series mortise cylinder, a Grade 1 cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam. Same application, same cam shape, different key system. If the building is already keyed to Schlage, stay with the Schlage cylinder and order it in your keyway. If you are starting a fresh key system on the opening, either one is open to you.
4) Our doors are thicker than standard. Can a Schlage modular mortise cylinder be made up to suit?
Thicker doors are covered by the rear housing, which is offered in six lengths on the modular platform. That is how one cylinder body serves a range of door thicknesses instead of a separate part number for each. The front housing is available in every finish, so the face you see still matches the lock. Measure the door and the lock case pocket, then take the rear housing length that puts the cam where the case needs it.
5) Can a Schlage modular mortise cylinder be converted to a rim or key-in-lever cylinder?
That is the point of the modular platform. One cylinder converts between mortise, rim, and key-in-knob or key-in-lever by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, so a van can carry one cylinder and make up whichever type the call turns out to need. The 26-021 arrives configured for mortise with a straight cam, so a rim or KIL job means swapping those parts. If you would rather buy a rim cylinder outright, the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
6) How do I order the Schlage 26-021 so it works on the keys we already carry?
Order it in the keyway your building already runs. It is offered in the Classic letter keyways (E, G, CE, EF, FG, F) and in the Everest 29 numbered keyways (C123, C145, C234, C235, C245, S124, S125, S134, S135, S145, S234, S235), and the modular cylinder supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems. Two cut keys come with each cylinder. If you are unsure which family the site is on, the keyway marking stamped on an existing key tells you.
7) Can I get the Schlage 26-021 cylinder face to match the finish of the locks already on our doors?
The front housing is produced in the full Schlage finish range for exactly that reason. Finishes run 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. On commercial openings 626 and 630 are the two you meet most often, so if you are matching an existing building those are the first to check against.
8) Is the Schlage 26-021 mortise cylinder certified to a standard I can put on a submittal?
BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, and that is the line to put on the submittal. It is a commercial product rather than a residential one, and it is offered at both basic and enhanced security levels depending on the key system you order it in, with Everest 29 and Primus XP being the restricted end of that range.
9) Our facility runs interchangeable cores. Is the Schlage 26-021 the right cylinder for that program?
Not if the point is cores you can pull and swap in the field. The 26-021 is a mortise cylinder with a straight cam, keyed in the Schlage keyway you order. For an interchangeable core program, the BEST 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core, the BEST 1C Series standard 5-pin core, and the 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core are the parts built for it. If you want to stay on Schlage mortise prep but move to large format IC, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder with an A01 Schlage L cam for L9000 locks.
10) The storefront deadlock has no exterior pull and still needs a keyed cylinder in that spot. What part covers both?
A cylinder pull, which combines the pull and the cylinder into one piece of exterior trim. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch. The Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same MS1847 system. For a wood door, the Adams Rite 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. The 26-021 is the mortise cylinder on its own, with a straight cam, for a lock body that already has its own trim, so it does not give you a pull.
11) I need a shorter mortise cylinder that still runs on a Schlage keyway. What else is there?
Where the cylinder pocket is short, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway, so it keys into an existing Schlage system in less length. The Schlage 26-021 is the wider choice on keying, covering the Classic letter keyways through the Everest 29 numbered group, and it takes a straight cam. Length is the deciding factor between the two, so measure the pocket before you order.
12) Which mortise cylinder from another manufacturer comes closest to the Schlage 26-021 on length and cam style?
The Corbin Russwin CR1000-112 is the closest one for one. It is a 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder, 1-1/2 inch length, furnished with an A02 straight cam, which matches the straight cam the 26-021 carries. The difference sits behind the keyway rather than in the housing: the Schlage modular cylinder supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems, so a building already keyed on one of those stays on a single platform, while the Corbin Russwin runs on the 1000 series. Both thread into the lock body as mortise cylinders, so the cam and the housing length called out on the drawing are what decide the swap.
13) Can a Corbin Russwin 3070 rim cylinder housing go in where a 26-021 mortise cylinder is now?
No. The 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, built to mount through the door and drive a rim device with that tailpiece. The 26-021 is a mortise cylinder and turns a straight cam inside the lock body, so the two engage the lock in completely different ways. Worth knowing before you order either one: the Schlage modular cylinder is adaptable to mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob applications and converts between them by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing. So the same Schlage platform can cover a rim device, but a 3070 rim housing and a mortise cylinder are not interchangeable as they ship.
14) The mortise lock I am servicing takes a cloverleaf cam. What changes if I order a Corbin Russwin 1070 instead of a 26-021?
The cam and the housing length. The CR1070-114-A01 is a 1070 Grade 1 series 6-pin mortise housing furnished with an A01 cloverleaf cam, while the 26-021 carries a straight cam. The cam is the part that engages the lock body, so it has to match the lock rather than the door, and a straight cam will not drive a body prepped for a cloverleaf. The 1070 housing measures 1-1/4 inch, so check it against door thickness and the depth of the cylinder pocket before you commit. If the body you are working on takes a straight cam, the 26-021 is already configured that way.
15) Our property keys everything on large format interchangeable cores, but the doors are Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Is there a cylinder built for that?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin CR1080-112-A01 is a 1080 Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, made for Schlage L9000 mortise locks and furnished with the A01 cam. Because it is a large format interchangeable core cylinder, keying is changed by swapping the core. The 26-021 takes the other approach: it is a conventional mortise cylinder, ordered pinned to a specific keyway and supplied with 2 keys, so keying changes at the cylinder. Both are mortise cylinders for a mortise lock body, and the decision comes down to whether your key control program is run at the core or at the cylinder.
16) What mortise cylinder is intended for thin stile material on a narrow stile door?
The Adams Rite 4036 is the one built around that condition. It is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder with five-pin security and a door thickness range starting at a 1/2 inch minimum, which is what puts it in aluminum stile work where there is very little material to thread into. The 26-021 sits at the other end of that range: the Schlage modular cylinder accommodates thicker doors through six available lengths of rear housing, and it is BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001. Measure the stile or door thickness first, because that single number decides which family of cylinder you are shopping in.
17) Our maintenance staff rekeys by pulling cores with a control key. What is the alternative to a conventional keyed cylinder?
The BEST interchangeable core line covers that. The BEST 1CB is a Peaks 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass cylinder in the same 150 series, and the BEST 1C5 is a standard 5-pin cylinder core out of the standard and premium cores range. On that path the keying lives in the removable core. The 26-021 is a conventional mortise cylinder, supplied with 2 keys and pinned to the keyway it is ordered in, with S family and C family keyways among the choices, and the Schlage modular platform supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems. Pick the path your site standard already runs on, since the two are different key control programs rather than different versions of the same part.
18) The keyed lever on the door has the cylinder in the lever itself. Does a mortise cylinder fit that?
No, a lever of that type takes a key-in-lever cylinder. The Falcon A23161-05 G is one: an RU/T series 6-pin key-in-lever cylinder in the G keyway, keyed different, supplied with 2 cut keys. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder that covers the same style of trim. The 26-021 is a mortise lock cylinder and turns a straight cam inside a mortise body. One thing that keeps you on the same platform: the Schlage modular cylinder is adaptable to mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob applications by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, so the lever and the mortise lock can be built from the same cylinder family even though the finished parts are not interchangeable.
19) We are pulling key control together across a portfolio where the apartment entries have Kwikset and Emtek deadbolts and the common areas have mortise locks. Does one cylinder cover all of it?
No, those are three separate cylinder bodies. For the residential deadbolts, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and for the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Emtek CY4 is Emtek's own cylinder; the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts generally. The common area mortise locks take a mortise cylinder such as the 26-021, which is commercial and non-handed so it does not care which way the door swings. Standardizing key control across a portfolio like that means holding one keyway across several different cylinder bodies rather than buying one part number for every door.
