Schlage Commercial 33-216 6-Pin Classic Standard Plug C Keyway, Modular Cylinders, Hotel Function, Plugs - Key-In-Knob/Lever

No. The 33-216 is a key-in-knob/lever plug for Schlage modular cylinders, so it belongs in the cylinder that sits inside a knob or lever lock. Mortise cylinders and rim cylinders use plugs built for those housings, and this one will not substitute for either.

C keyway on the Classic (conventional) side, so it takes standard C keyway blanks and a locksmith can combinate it into a key system you already run. Two things have to match. It is a six-pin plug, so it needs a 6-pin bitting; a 5-pin system wants the 5-pin plug instead. And Classic is not Everest. If the building is keyed to the patented Everest keyway, those keys will not enter this plug.

Match the function when you order. The 33-216 is the hotel function plug, and it goes back into a hotel function key-in-knob or lever cylinder. Storeroom, classroom, entry, and other standard functions take the plug listed for that function, so this is not the part to drop into an office or corridor door just because the keyway matches.

Plug only. It is a replacement component for a Schlage modular key-in-knob/lever cylinder, the part that carries the keyway and turns when the key is inserted. A locksmith pins it to your key system and installs it in the cylinder housing already in the lock. If the housing or the whole cylinder is damaged rather than just miskeyed, you need a cylinder, not this.

If the guest room locks are Schlage key-in-knob or lever with hotel function modular cylinders on the C keyway, the 33-216 is the plug for them. It is a six-pin plug, so the guest and master bitting has to be a 6-pin system. It replaces the keyed side only; the lock chassis and the cylinder housing stay in the door, which is what makes a floor-by-floor rekey practical without pulling hardware.

626 satin chrome, the finish most commercial Schlage lever and knob trim is specified in. The plug face is the ring you see around the keyway, so on 626 trim it blends in. Put it in a brass or bronze finished lock and you get a bright silver ring at the key, which is worth knowing before you order a box of them for a floor.

Four things identify it: six pins, Classic standard plug, C keyway, and hotel function, in the key-in-knob/lever configuration. Adjacent Schlage plugs change one of those, usually the pin count, the keyway, or the lock function, so those are the details to confirm against the lock in hand before the order goes in. Finish on this one is 626 satin chrome.
