Schlage 30-002-C123-138-626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a Schlage 30-002 cylinder in a rim exit device?
No. A mortise cylinder threads into the lock case and turns a cam; a rim device is driven by a tailpiece that passes through the door to the back of the device. The 30-002 is a conventional mortise cylinder with an L9000 Series cam, so it belongs in a mortise lock body only. For a rim exit device you want a rim cylinder housing, such as the Corbin Russwin 3070 with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece.
2) My mortise lock is a Corbin Russwin, will a Schlage 30-002 cylinder fit it?
The threads will engage, mortise cylinder bodies share a common 1-5/32 inch, 26 threads per inch standard, but the cam is where it fails. The 30-002 ships with a Schlage L9000 Series cam, shaped for Schlage L9000 hardware. On a Corbin Russwin case, use a Corbin Russwin cylinder with the cam that case calls for: the 1000 Series with an A02 straight cam, or the 1070 housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. Wrong cam and the key turns freely without retracting anything.
3) How do I know the 1-3/8 inch cylinder length is right for my door?
Length is set by the trim, not the lock model. The cylinder has to bottom in the case and finish flush with the face of the rose or escutcheon; standing proud gives a pipe wrench something to grab, sitting deep means the key barely clears. The 30-002 is 1-3/8 inches, the middle of the common range. Thin trim often takes 1-1/8 inches, like the Detex MC65, and a heavy escutcheon can need 1-1/2 inches, like the Corbin Russwin 1000. Measure from the cylinder seat in the case out to the finished face of the trim before you order.
4) What does keyed different mean on the Schlage 30-002, and can I get several doors on one key?
Keyed different means every cylinder comes on its own key change, so the key that opens one 30-002 will not open the next. That is what you want for separate tenants, storage rooms, or scattered openings that should not share a key. One key across several doors is a keyed alike order, and a building master over individual change keys is a masterkeyed order; those are different keying instructions, not something you can create by buying the keyed different version. Everything stays in the Schlage C123 keyway, so a key from another keyway will not enter the plug.
5) Can I swap the cylinder without taking the whole mortise lock out of the door?
Yes, the 30-002 is sold as a replacement cylinder and a cylinder change is a face-of-door job. Back off the cylinder set screw in the edge of the door, unscrew the old cylinder out of the case, thread the new one in until the cam lands where the case wants it, retighten the set screw. The lock body, trim, and strike all stay put. That is what makes cylinder-level rekeying practical on a floor of doors after a turnover or a lost key.
6) Is there a mortise cylinder for a Schlage L9000 lock that takes a large format interchangeable core instead of being pinned as one complete unit?
The Schlage 30-002 is a conventional mortise cylinder, 6-pin, 1-3/8 inch, cut to the C123 keyway and fitted with the L9000 series cam, so the whole cylinder is pinned as one piece and comes out of the lock as one piece. The Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, for Schlage L9000 mortise locks, with the A01 Schlage L cam, so the housing stays in the lock and the core lifts out with a control key. Both drive the same L9000 lock body; the difference is a conventional housing at 1-3/8 inch versus an interchangeable core housing at 1-1/2 inch.
7) Is a 6-pin mortise cylinder worth it over a 5-pin if I am master keying a building?
Six chambers give a master key system more room to work: more usable key changes and more depth combinations before the system runs out of room and you start reusing cuts. The 30-002 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C123 keyway, which is the sensible choice if the rest of the building is already on Schlage C and you expect the system to grow. Five-pin cylinders such as the Adams Rite 4036 are fine on a one-off opening but cap how deep a master system can be built.
8) What finish does the Schlage 30-002 come in, and will it match the rest of my hardware?
606 satin brass. That is a BHMA finish number, so hardware from any brand marked 606 is the same finish and the cylinder face will read as part of the trim. If your openings are running 626 satin chrome or 613 oil rubbed bronze, a 606 cylinder will stand out, because the cylinder face sits right in the middle of the escutcheon where anyone standing at the door is looking.
9) Our building is keyed on Schlage C. What other mortise cylinders run that keyway, and how do the lengths differ?
The Schlage 30-002 is a 1-3/8 inch conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder cut to the C123 keyway, with the L9000 series cam. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder with the Schlage C keyway. Both are 6-pin mortise cylinders on the Schlage C family keyway; the MC65 is the shorter body at 1-1/8 inch against 1-3/8 inch. Length has to suit the door and lock case thickness, and the cam has to suit the lock body, so confirm both before you settle on one.
10) Does the cam have to match the lock, or will any 6-pin mortise cylinder work in a mortise lock case?
The cam is what turns the lock case, so it is matched to the lock and not just to the cylinder. The Schlage 30-002 carries the L9000 series cam. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder, 1-1/2 inch, carries the A02 straight cam. The Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 6-pin mortise housing, 1-1/4 inch, carries the A01 cloverleaf cam. The Corbin Russwin 1080, a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, carries the A01 Schlage L cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Same pin count does not make them drop-in for each other, so identify the cam the lock case needs before ordering.
11) Can a rim cylinder be used where a mortise cylinder is specified?
They are not interchangeable, because they mount and drive the lock differently. The Schlage 30-002 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder that seats in the lock case and turns it through the L9000 series cam. A rim cylinder mounts from the inside face of the door and drives the lock through a tailpiece instead of a cam: the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, at 1-5/32 inch diameter, is a dummy, so it has no key function at all and fills the hole rather than operating anything.
12) We have mortise locks on the main entries and lever locks on the interior doors. Is there one replacement cylinder that covers both?
Those two lock types take different cylinder formats, so they are ordered separately. The Schlage 30-002 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder with the L9000 series cam, for mortise lock bodies. For knobs and levers the cylinder is a different part: the Kaba Ilco 1539 is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder in the RU/T series with a 6-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys. Count the mortise openings and the lever openings separately and order to each.
13) We want to rekey in house with interchangeable cores. How does that change what I order compared with a conventional mortise cylinder?
The Schlage 30-002 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder supplied keyed different, so the pinning lives in the cylinder itself and changing the key means working on or swapping the cylinder. An interchangeable core arrangement splits the part in two, a housing that stays in the door and a core that pulls with a control key: the BEST 1C series standard 5-pin cylinder core, the BEST Peaks 1CB 150 series interchangeable core, and the BEST 1CDF drill resistant preferred patented interchangeable core, 7-pin brass, 150 series, are all cores of that kind. Where the doors are Schlage L9000 mortise locks, the Corbin Russwin 1080 is the mortise housing side of that arrangement, a 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, with the A01 Schlage L cam.
14) I am cylinder-ing an aluminum narrow stile door. Which mortise cylinder is built for that kind of stile?
The Schlage 30-002 is a 1-3/8 inch conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder with the L9000 series cam, which is the cam that mates to Schlage L9000 mortise lock bodies on hollow metal and wood openings. For narrow stile work the Adams Rite 4036 is a mortise cylinder with five-pin security in the 4036 series, Grade 1, listed to a door thickness range of 1/2 inch minimum. Confirm the stile thickness and the deadlock or deadlatch you are feeding before you pick, since the cylinder has to reach the lock and turn it.
15) The glass door has a key cylinder with a pull ring on the outside. Is that the same part as a mortise cylinder?
That is a cylinder pull, which combines the key cylinder and the door pull into one outside trim, and it is matched to a specific deadlock rather than to a mortise lock case. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock or deadlatch. The Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the same MS1847. The Adams Rite 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock or deadlatch. The Schlage 30-002 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder with the L9000 series cam and no pull attached, so it is the wrong shape of part for that opening.
16) Half our doors are apartment deadbolts and handlesets and half are commercial mortise locks. Will one cylinder cover both?
No, those are two different cylinder formats. The Schlage 30-002 is a commercial conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder with the L9000 series cam, for mortise lock bodies. Deadbolts and handlesets take rim type cylinders driven by a tailpiece: 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 Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. Split the door count by lock type and order a cylinder to each.
