Schlage 26-021 S123 138 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage 26-021 mortise cylinder fit a Schlage L Series mortise lock?
Yes for the L Series, with one exception worth knowing before you order: the 26-021 covers Schlage L mortise locks less the L9060 exterior, so the outside cylinder on an L9060 needs a different part. It comes with a straight cam and it is non-handed, so the same cylinder drops into a left hand or right hand door with no change.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering a Schlage 26-021 mortise cylinder?
Keyway and finish are the two choices. Handing is not one of them. Keyways run through the C group (C123, C124, C135, C234, C245, C345), the S group (S123, S134, S145, S235, S345), and the letter keyways E, F, G, EF, FG and CE. Order the one your building is already keyed in, because the cylinder body supports interchangeability between Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems. Two keys come with each cylinder.
3) I'm swapping cylinders on several doors in one building. Will the 26-021 match the finishes on the hardware already there?
Front housings are available in all the finishes the locks come in, so the cylinder faces match rather than standing out. The range covers 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. Every cylinder ships with two keys, and since it is non-handed you order one part for the whole run of doors.
4) Does the Schlage 26-021 cylinder meet a commercial hardware spec?
BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, and it is a commercial cylinder rather than a residential one. Schlage lists it for both basic security and enhanced security applications, the difference coming down to the key system you order it in. A156.5 is the auxiliary lock and cylinder standard a spec writer looks for on an institutional job.
5) Can a Schlage modular cylinder like the 26-021 be converted for a rim device or a key-in-lever lock?
As supplied it is set up as a mortise cylinder with a straight cam. The modular design converts one cylinder into three types, mortise, rim, and key-in-lever or key-in-knob, by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, which is how a locksmith carries one cylinder on the van instead of three. Six rear housing lengths are available to handle thicker doors.
6) Do I need shims or a spacer to get a Schlage mortise cylinder to sit flush against the trim?
The 26-021 is a compression ring application, so the ring under the collar takes up the slack between the cylinder and the lock face as you thread it in. You set it so the cam lands in the lock's cam slot and the ring holds the face tight against the trim, instead of stacking shims to land the cylinder at the right depth.
7) We want to move a building onto interchangeable cores. Is there a mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 locks that takes a core instead?
The Schlage 26-021 is a conventional keyed mortise cylinder that comes with 2 keys and is built for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior, so rekeying it means pinning the cylinder itself. If the facility standard is going to be interchangeable cores, the Corbin Russwin 1080 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder is a 6-pin cylinder made for Schlage L9000 mortise locks using the A01 Schlage L cam. The difference is where the keying lives: with LFIC the core is pulled and replaced at the door, while a conventional cylinder is removed and repinned. That is a program-level decision, since the housing and the rekey method differ.
8) What other mortise cylinders could I use in place of a Schlage 26-021?
Two go at it from different angles. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 series mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length carries an A02 straight cam, so it drives a lock the same way this one does. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut for the Schlage C keyway, which keeps a new opening on the same Schlage C keys the rest of the building already uses. Match cam type and cylinder length to the lock body you are feeding, because a cam that does not reach the hub will not throw the bolt.
9) Can I put a rim cylinder in a mortise lock if the keyway matches?
No, and the keyway matching is what makes people try it. A mortise cylinder like the 26-021 threads into the lock body and drives it with a cam, a straight cam in this case. A rim cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece mounts through the door and drives the device with that tailpiece and back plate screws. Different mounting, different drive. They do not substitute for each other.
10) How do I key an entry that has no lever or handle on the outside, just a flat pull?
That opening generally calls for a cylinder pull, which combines the keyed cylinder and the exterior pull in one assembly, and it is not interchangeable with a bare cylinder. The Adams Rite 4024 cylinder pull mounts with a trim plate for MS1847 deadlock systems, the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch, and the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door applications with the 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. The Schlage 26-021 is a replacement cylinder on its own, supplied for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior.
11) I am replacing a mortise cylinder that uses a straight cam. What else runs a straight cam?
The Schlage 26-021 is a straight cam mortise cylinder built for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior, and it is BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001. Across brands, the Corbin Russwin 1000 series mortise cylinder in the 1-1/2 inch length uses an A02 straight cam. The cam is the blade that actually drives the lock case, so a cross-brand swap only works when the lock body is looking for that cam pattern and the cylinder length suits the prep already in the door.
12) Straight cam or cloverleaf cam - how do I tell which one my mortise lock takes?
The cam is the flat blade on the back of the cylinder that turns with the key and moves the lock case, so its shape has to match what the case is built to read. The Schlage 26-021 carries a straight cam and is intended for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior. A cloverleaf cam looks close at a glance but is a different pattern: the Corbin Russwin 1070 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing uses an A01 cloverleaf cam. Pull the existing cylinder and read the cam before ordering, because the wrong cam threads all the way into the door and still will not retract the latch.
13) Is there a mortise cylinder from another manufacturer that will take my existing Schlage keys?
The Schlage 26-021 is cut across a wide range of Schlage keyway sections, including C123, C124, C234, C245, E, F and G, so on most Schlage key systems the like-for-like is another 26-021 in the matching section. If the opening needs a cylinder from a different maker on that same section, the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder in the 1-1/8 inch length cut to the Schlage C keyway. Either way, keying into an existing system depends on the section stamped on your key and the bitting the system uses, so confirm the section before you order.
14) I have a rim cylinder on the shelf. Will it work where a mortise cylinder is called for?
No, they are two different parts. The 26-021 is a mortise cylinder that turns a cam inside a lock body set into the edge of the door. A rim cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing drives its lock through a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece that passes through the door into a surface-mounted case, and neither part adapts to the other's prep. There is also a non-keying member of that family worth knowing so it does not get ordered by mistake: the BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, which fills the hole for appearance and does not operate a lock.
15) The key cylinder in one of our lever handles is worn out. Can a 26-021 drop into it?
Not if the key sits in the lever or the knob itself. The 26-021 is a mortise cylinder for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior, which are the locks with the case buried in the door and a rectangular faceplate on the door edge. A keyed lever or knob uses a different cylinder body held in by a different retainer - the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder on a 6-pin G keyway supplied keyed different with 2 cut keys, and the Kaba Ilco 1539 series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder. Look at the door edge first: faceplate and internal case means the mortise family the 26-021 serves.
16) Our campus runs on BEST cores. Does the 26-021 belong in that program?
It is a different construction. The 26-021 is a complete keyed mortise cylinder, BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, offered across the Schlage sections including C, E, F, G and the S series. A BEST program runs on cores that seat into interchangeable core housings: the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin cylinder core, the 1CB 150 series interchangeable core cylinder, and the 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin core in the 150 series. When the goal is one key system across a facility, the question to settle first is which housing family the doors are prepped for, because a core and a conventional cylinder do not occupy the same prep.
17) Half our portfolio is apartment entry deadbolts and half is commercial mortise locks. Can one cylinder cover both?
No, and the two are not close cousins. The 26-021 is a commercial mortise cylinder for Schlage L mortise locks less L9060 exterior. Deadbolts and handlesets of the residential type take rim style cylinders with a lazy motion tailpiece instead: the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and for Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders. Sort the fleet by lock family first, then decide the keying, because the parts stock splits along that line.
