Schlage 30-138 S123 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is there a non-Schlage cylinder that will work in a Schlage L Series mortise lock?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin 1080 is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin interchangeable core mortise cylinder built with an A01 Schlage L cam and listed for Schlage L9000 mortise locks, so it goes into the same prep. The practical difference is the key system behind it: the Corbin Russwin cylinder runs Corbin Russwin keyways and cores, while the 30-138 keys into Schlage's C and Everest keyways. Pick the one that matches the system the rest of the building is already on, because mixing brands means a second set of keys and a second core stock.
2) Does the Schlage 30-138 come with a core and keys, or is it just an empty housing?
It comes as a complete 6-pin full size interchangeable core cylinder with two keys in whichever keyway you select. Every keyway option ships 1 bitted, which means the core is cut to a single depth across all positions, so it is meant to be pinned into your keying system on site rather than left on factory keying. A compression ring, a spring and a 3/8 inch blocking ring are in the box as well, so there is no separate mounting kit to add to the order.
3) What are the compression ring, spring and 3/8 inch blocking ring supplied with the Schlage 30-138 for?
They set how the cylinder sits in the lock. The compression ring and spring take up the slack behind the cylinder so the face pulls up tight against the trim instead of standing proud or sitting recessed, which is what causes a key to bind or a cylinder to spin in service. The 3/8 inch blocking ring is the spacer used when the cylinder would otherwise run long for the prep. All three come with the cylinder, along with two keys.
4) Which keyway do I order on a Schlage 30-138, C, C123, C125, C145 or S123?
Order the keyway the building is already on, because a cylinder in the wrong keyway will not take your master or grand master keys no matter how it is pinned. Plain C is Schlage's Classic keyway. C123, C125, C145 and S123 are Everest 29 keyways, which use restricted blanks, so the key cutting has to come from a source set up for them. Schlage's key systems support interchangeability across Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic, and every one of the five keyways is offered in every finish the cylinder is made in.
5) The cylinder face is the only part you see once it is installed. What finishes does the Schlage 30-138 come in?
Match the cylinder face to the lock trim, not to the door, since the escutcheon or rose is what it sits against. The 30-138 is made in 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze, and each of those is available across all five keyways, so you are not forced to compromise on one to get the other. The cylinder itself is brass under the finish.
6) Why use a full size interchangeable core mortise cylinder instead of a conventional one?
Rekeying speed is the whole argument. On the 30-138 the core is a full size interchangeable core, so a control key pulls it out of the housing at the door in seconds and a fresh core goes in. Tenant turnover, a lost key, a terminated employee, none of it means pulling the lock apart or sending cylinders out to be pinned. That is why interchangeable core is the standard choice for schools, hospitals, hotels and multi-family, where keys move constantly. Where keys almost never change hands, a conventional mortise cylinder does the same job at the door, but a locksmith has to pin it every time the keying changes.
7) Can I use a Schlage 30-138 in a rim exit device?
No. It is a mortise cylinder, cut for Schlage L Series mortise locks, and a rim exit device needs a rim cylinder driving a tailpiece rather than a cam. The two are not interchangeable and the 30-138 will not engage the device. For a rim application the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing supplied with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. Confirm the tailpiece length your device calls for first, since that varies by manufacturer and is the usual reason a rim cylinder comes back.
8) Will the Schlage 30-138 work in an aluminum storefront door, or do I need something else?
The 30-138 is specified against Schlage L mortise locks less the L9060 exterior, so it is matched to that lock chassis rather than to a narrow stile deadlock. For aluminum stile work, the Adams Rite 4036 is a mortise cylinder with five-pin security, Grade 1, listed down to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Where the stile carries an MS1847 deadlock, the cylinder pulls are the parts that fit: the Adams Rite 4024 mounts with a trim plate and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull using through-screws, both for the MS1847. The 4026 is the five pin tumbler cylinder pull for wood door work with the Adams Rite 5017 deadlock or deadlatch.
9) The Detex MC65 is also a 6-pin mortise cylinder in a Schlage C keyway. Can I use it instead of the Schlage 30-138?
Both can run a Schlage C keyway, and that is where the overlap stops. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch conventional mortise cylinder, so the pin stack is fixed in the housing and rekeying means taking the cylinder apart. The 30-138 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core cylinder listed for Schlage L Series mortise locks, so the core lifts out with a control key. If you are replacing a cylinder in an L Series lock, or the reason for the order is core swapping in the first place, the 30-138 is the part built for it.
10) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage 30-138 mortise cylinder in another manufacturer's line?
The Schlage 30-138 is a 6-pin full size interchangeable core mortise cylinder specified against Schlage L mortise locks other than the L9060 exterior, and it comes with a compression ring, spring and 3/8 inch blocking ring. The nearest peer built for the same opening is the Corbin Russwin 1080, a Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, 6-pin, listed for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 Schlage L cam. Both put an interchangeable core in the same L-series mortise prep. What separates them is the key system the building is keyed into and the cam the cylinder ships with, so confirm both against the lock before you commit.
11) We do not run interchangeable core in this building. What mortise cylinder covers the same job as the Schlage 30-138?
The 30-138 is built around a full size interchangeable core in 6-pin, so the core itself is the serviceable piece. Where a facility keeps fixed-core cylinders instead, the Corbin Russwin 1000 is a Grade 1 series mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length carrying an A02 straight cam, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway. Cam shape is the detail that decides whether the cylinder actually throws the lock: the Corbin Russwin 1080 pairs an A01 Schlage L cam with Schlage L9000 mortise locks, while the 1000 lists an A02 straight cam. Match the cam to the lock body, not to the cylinder diameter.
12) Our openings take a shorter mortise cylinder than the one we pulled. What lengths are available across the mortise cylinders you carry?
Cylinder length follows door thickness and how the lock body sits in the stile, so measure the cylinder coming out of the door first. The Corbin Russwin 1070 is a Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. The Detex MC65 sits at 1-1/8 inch, 6-pin, in the Schlage C keyway. At 1-1/2 inch there is the Corbin Russwin 1080, a 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 Schlage L cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1000 with an A02 straight cam. On the Schlage modular platform the 30-138 belongs to, thicker doors are handled through the rear housing size rather than by changing the cylinder type.
13) Everything in our portfolio is keyed to Schlage C. Which mortise cylinders stay on that keyway?
The Schlage 30-138 is offered in the C keyway and in the restricted C123, C125 and C145 keyways, plus S123, each supplied 1 bitted so a keying desk can cut it into the system already on the property, and it ships with 2 keys. On the conventional side, the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder built to the Schlage C keyway in 1-1/8 inch. Watch what happens outside that family: the Falcon A23161-05 G is a 6-pin cylinder in the RU/T series G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys, which is a separate key system and will not run on a Schlage C key.
14) Can a rim cylinder be dropped in where a mortise cylinder like the Schlage 30-138 is called for?
No, the two turn the lock in different ways. The 30-138 is a mortise type cylinder that threads into a mortise lock body and drives it with a cam. A rim cylinder reaches through the door on a tailpiece instead: the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, and the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder made for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. The BEST 12E series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, is a filler that operates nothing at all. If the lock body is mortised into the door edge, stay with a mortise cylinder and confirm the cam.
15) Half our doors have lever locks and deadbolts instead of mortise locks. What replaces the cylinder on those?
The Schlage 30-138 is a mortise type cylinder tied to Schlage L mortise locks, so it stops at the doors with a mortise body. For key-in-lever, the Falcon A23161-05 G is an RU/T series 6-pin key-in-lever cylinder in the G keyway, keyed different with 2 cut keys. Kaba Ilco covers the knob and lever side with the 1539 key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1579 for Sargent knob and lever, and the 1599 key-in-knob replacement cylinder, while the 1549 is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder. The chassis in the door decides which of these fits, so sort the openings by lock type before you build the order.
16) For apartment entry doors with residential deadbolts and handlesets, is the Schlage 30-138 the right cylinder?
It is a commercial mortise cylinder for Schlage L mortise locks, so it belongs on the corridor and back-of-house mortise openings rather than on a residential deadbolt. For the unit doors, Medeco carries retrofit cylinders keyed to those chassis: the 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, the 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, the 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece, and the 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. Emtek also lists its own CY4 cylinder as a service part.
17) If I stock the Schlage 30-138, how many other cylinder types does it cover compared with buying a dedicated part for each lock?
The Schlage modular cylinder the 30-138 comes from converts to three cylinder types by changing the tailpiece, cam or rear housing, so mortise, rim and key-in-lever or key-in-knob applications come off a common core, and it supports interchangeability across the Everest 29, Primus XP and Classic key systems. Most of the alternatives are single-application parts by design: the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a rim cylinder housing, the CR1070 is a mortise housing, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is cut for Sargent knob and lever, and the Medeco 1065140 is a retrofit for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handlesets. Which approach fits depends on how many lock families the truck or crib has to cover.
