Schlage 26-072 S123 118 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I key the Schlage 26-072 to match the other Schlage locks in my building?
Yes, and the keyway choice is how you do it. The 26-072 is offered in 26 Schlage keyways: C, CE, E, EF, F, FG, G, and the C123, C124, C125, C134, C135, C145, C234, C235, C245, C345 and S123, S124, S125, S134, S135, S145, S234, S235, S345 multiplex sections. Order the keyway your building's existing keys use and specify KA (keyed alike) with your key code so it operates on the same key as the rest of the openings. Leave it KD (keyed different) if this door needs its own key. Two cut keys come with the cylinder.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering a Schlage 26-072 mortise cylinder?
Four things settle the order. Keyway, from the 26 Schlage sections offered. Finish, from twelve options: 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, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. Keying, either KD keyed different or KA keyed alike (there's also a less-cylinder option if you're buying the lock without one). And a key code field, which you fill in when you're matching an existing system. Two cut keys ship with it.
3) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage 26-072 mortise cylinder if I need a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway?
The Detex MC65 is the nearest match. It is a mortise cylinder built at 1-1/8 inch length with six pins in the Schlage C keyway, the same length, pin count and keyway family the Schlage 26-072 covers. The difference that decides the job is the cam: the 26-072 ships with an Adams Rite cam, part number L583-447, which is what lets it drive an Adams Rite 4500 or 4700 deadlatch. The MC65 is described as a commercial grade mortise cylinder without that cam called out, so confirm the cam on the MC65 matches the lock body you are feeding before you swap one for the other.
4) I am keying an Adams Rite storefront deadlatch and my facility standard is Adams Rite, not Schlage. What mortise cylinder do I use instead?
Use the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder. It is a five-pin mortise cylinder in the 4036 series, carries a Grade 1 rating and works down to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, which suits the thin aluminum stiles storefront deadlatches sit in. The Schlage 26-072 solves the same opening from the other direction: it is a six-pin mortise cylinder with an Adams Rite cam so a Schlage keyway and key system can drive an Adams Rite 4500 or 4700 deadlatch. Pick the 4036 when the building is keyed to Adams Rite; pick the 26-072 when the building is keyed to Schlage and the deadlatch has to join that system.
5) What's the difference between a mortise cylinder and a rim cylinder, and which one does my Adams Rite deadlatch take?
A mortise cylinder threads into the lock body and turns a cam to drive the latch; a rim cylinder mounts through the door with a tailpiece into a lock case on the inside face. Adams Rite 4500 and 4700 deadlatches take a threaded mortise cylinder with an Adams Rite cam, which is what the Schlage 26-072 supplies. If you're working on a rim exit device instead, you want a rim cylinder with a tailpiece, such as the Corbin Russwin 3070 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. Schlage's modular design means the same cylinder body converts between mortise, rim, and key-in-lever by changing the tailpiece, cam, or rear housing.
6) Is the Schlage 26-072 cylinder certified for commercial use?
It's BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, the cylinder and input device standard, and it's classed as commercial hardware. That's the certification a spec writer or facilities buyer looks for when standardizing cylinders across a building, and it's stated on the 26-072 rather than inferred.
7) My existing cylinder is a Detex MC65 with a Schlage C keyway - can I swap in the Schlage 26-072?
Both are 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinders, and the 26-072 is available in the C keyway, so it can be ordered to run on the same keys. The difference to check is the cam: the 26-072 ships with the Adams Rite cam L583-447, which suits Adams Rite 4500 and 4700 deadlatches. Confirm the cam on the lock you're servicing matches before you swap, because the cam, not the cylinder body, is what actually drives the latch.
8) Is this a 5-pin or 6-pin cylinder, and does the pin count matter for my masterkeying?
The Schlage 26-072 is a 6-pin cylinder. Six pins gives you an extra chamber over a 5-pin, which is what a masterkey system needs when you're building multiple levels of change keys, submasters, and a grand master across a facility. Several comparable cylinders are 5-pin only, including the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder, so if you're standardizing a keyed system, pin count is worth matching across the openings.
9) Is the Schlage 26-072 a whole new lock or just the replacement cylinder?
Just the cylinder. The 26-072 is the keyed cylinder that threads into an existing lock, supplied with two cut keys and the Adams Rite cam. The deadlatch body, faceplate, and strike are separate; if the lock hardware itself is worn, you're replacing that as well. Buying only the cylinder is the normal move when you're rekeying an opening or bringing a door onto a building keyway without touching the latch.
10) We standardize on interchangeable core across the campus. What takes the place of a Schlage 26-072 mortise cylinder in an IC system?
An interchangeable core program uses a housing plus a removable core rather than a fixed cylinder. The BEST 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core cylinder in the Peaks line, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in seven pin brass, also 150 series; the BEST 1C is a standard five pin cylinder core from the standard and premium core range. Corbin Russwin takes the same approach with the 1080, a Grade 1 large format interchangeable core mortise cylinder at 1-1/2 inch with an A01 cloverleaf cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. The Schlage 26-072 is a conventional six pin mortise cylinder pinned to a Schlage keyway, so rekeying it means taking the cylinder apart rather than pulling a core with a control key. Choose by which key control program the facility runs.
11) Can I use a rim cylinder where a Schlage 26-072 mortise cylinder is called out?
No, they mount differently. A rim cylinder mounts through the door and drives a tailpiece into a surface-mounted lock body, which is what the Corbin Russwin 3070 six-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece does; the BEST 12E is a dummy rim cylinder at 1-5/32 inch diameter and does not operate a lock at all. The Schlage 26-072 is a mortise cylinder, threaded to screw into a lock case, with an Adams Rite cam rather than a tailpiece. Tailpiece length and cam are not interchangeable, so order to the lock type on the door.
12) I need a replacement cylinder for a key-in-lever or key-in-knob lock, not a mortise lock. What is the right part?
Key-in-lever and key-in-knob locks take a different cylinder body entirely. The Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, and the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder; for a deadbolt the Kaba Ilco 1549 is the key-in-deadbolt cylinder. On the Schlage side the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder from the RU/T series, six-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys. The Schlage 26-072 is a mortise cylinder with an Adams Rite cam and will not seat in a knob or lever chassis.
13) How does a Schlage 26-072 compare with a Medeco cylinder for an opening that needs higher key control?
The Medeco parts in this family are built for specific residential-style hardware rather than a mortise lock case: the 1012040 is a six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065140 is a five-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the 1075127 is a five-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. The Schlage 26-072 is a commercial six-pin mortise cylinder, BHMA certified to ANSI A156.5 2001, offering basic and enhanced security levels and available in Everest 29 and Primus XP as well as classic keyways for restricted keying. For a mortise lock or an Adams Rite deadlatch the 26-072 is the body that fits; the Medeco parts above address rim and deadbolt hardware instead.
14) Is a five-pin mortise cylinder acceptable where a six-pin one is specified?
Pin count is part of the key system, not just the cylinder. The Adams Rite 4036 is a five-pin mortise cylinder, Grade 1, in the 4036 series, and the BEST 1C is a standard five-pin core; the Schlage 26-072 is a six-pin mortise cylinder and ships with two keys. A six-pin master key system will not accept a five-pin cylinder into the same keying scheme, so if the building is already master keyed at six pins, keep the six-pin body. On a standalone opening with its own key, either pin count works as long as the cam and length suit the lock.
15) Do I need to order left hand and right hand versions of the 26-072 for my doors?
No. The 26-072 mortise cylinder is non-handed, so one part number covers every door in the building regardless of swing. For a property manager or MRO buyer stocking spares, that means a single line item on the shelf: pick your keyway and finish and the same cylinder services left hand and right hand openings alike.
16) How do I match the cylinder finish to the storefront hardware that's already on the door?
Twelve BHMA finish codes are offered on the 26-072, so you match by code rather than by eye. The common storefront pairings are 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel for clear or brushed aluminum trim, 613 oil rubbed bronze or 643E aged bronze for dark bronze anodized storefront, and 605 or 606 brass where the existing pulls are brass. Also available: 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, and 629 bright stainless steel. Only the front housing shows once the cylinder is threaded in, and Schlage offers the front housing in all finishes so it matches the lock.
