Schlage 38-070 118 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do I get with the Schlage 38-070 dummy mortise cylinder, and what has to be ordered separately?
The 38-070 is the cylinder body on its own, supplied less ring and cam, so the collar ring and cam are separate line items. Because it is a non-keyed dummy, there is no keyway, key count or keying instruction to specify. The only two things you pick are cylinder length (1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-3/8 or 1-1/2 inch) and finish. Order the ring to suit the same finish you choose for the cylinder, or the collar will read as a different color against the lock trim.
2) Can a Schlage 38-070 mortise cylinder be keyed to my building master key?
No. The 38-070 is a dummy cylinder, non-keyed, with no plug to pin and no key that operates it. It fills a mortise cylinder hole and nothing more. If what you need is a keyed mortise cylinder that works on a Schlage-keyed building, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder cut to the Schlage C keyway.
3) Which cylinder length should I order for a Schlage 38-070 dummy mortise cylinder?
Four lengths are offered: 1-1/8, 1-1/4, 1-3/8 and 1-1/2 inch. Match the one already in the door. On a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door with no added trim, 1-1/8 inch is the usual mortise cylinder length, and each step up buys you roughly a quarter inch more reach for a thicker door, a wrap plate, or heavy escutcheon trim stacked in front of the lock case. Pull the existing cylinder and measure the threaded body from the face of the ring to the back before ordering. Too short and the cylinder sits recessed below the trim, too long and it stands proud of the ring.
4) I need a dummy cylinder for a rim exit device, not a mortise lock. Will the Schlage 38-070 work?
No. The 38-070 is a mortise-format dummy, meaning a threaded body that screws into a mortise lock case prep. A rim device takes a rim cylinder with a flat back and mounting screws, and the two are not interchangeable. For a rim application the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder, 1-5/32 inch diameter, is the correct format.
5) I actually need a working keyed mortise cylinder instead of a dummy. What are the options?
Several, and the cam is what you have to get right, since the cam is the part that drives the lock case. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Series is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam. The Corbin Russwin 1070 is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. For narrow stile aluminum storefront, the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder rated down to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Pick the length the same way you would for the dummy, then match the cam to your lock case.
6) We run Schlage L9000 mortise locks on an interchangeable core system - what mortise cylinder fits that instead of a dummy?
The Schlage 38-070 is a dummy mortise cylinder and is not keyed, so it does not serve a core-keyed opening. The Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 mortise cylinder is a 1-1/2 inch six-pin LFIC mortise cylinder built for Schlage L9000 mortise locks and supplied with the A01 Schlage L cam, which is the cam those lock cases take. That combination lets the opening join the large format interchangeable core program while staying in the same mortise prep the 38-070 occupies.
7) What dummy cylinder takes the place of the Schlage 38-070 when the door has a rim prep instead of a mortise prep?
The Schlage 38-070 is a mortise cylinder in the dummy function, so it is non-keyed and threads into a mortise cylinder prep. When the opening is a rim prep, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder fills the same role in rim form, with a 1-5/32 inch diameter body. Both are dummy cylinders and neither accepts a key; the prep they mount into is what separates them, so confirm whether the lock case is mortise or rim before ordering either.
8) The opening needs to actually lock, not just fill the hole - which keyed mortise cylinder replaces a Schlage 38-070?
The Schlage 38-070 is non-keyed, so an opening that has to lock needs a keyed mortise cylinder in the same prep. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 mortise cylinder comes in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 six-pin mortise housing comes in 1-1/4 inch with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch six-pin mortise cylinder. Cylinder length carries over directly: the 38-070 is stocked in 1-1/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-3/8 inch and 1-1/2 inch, so measure the length already in the door and match it.
9) What is a dummy mortise cylinder used for if it does not lock anything?
It closes out a mortise cylinder prep on an opening where no keyed function is wanted. The hole is already bored and threaded, and leaving it open looks unfinished and lets dirt into the lock case. The 38-070 threads in and presents the same face as the keyed cylinders on the rest of the building, in the same finish, with no cylinder to pin and no key to issue. Body is stainless steel, and it is a commercial-duty part rather than residential trim.
10) What finishes does the Schlage 38-070 dummy cylinder come in, and how do I match it to the locks already on my doors?
Eleven finishes are offered: 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, 626AM Satin Chrome Antimicrobial and 643E Aged Bronze. Those three-digit codes are the standard BHMA finish numbers stamped or specified on your existing lock trim, so match by number rather than by eye. 626 satin chrome is the common commercial default. 626AM is the antimicrobial version of the same satin chrome, which is what gets specified on patient-contact and food-service openings.
11) Is an Adams Rite 4025 cylinder pull or a Kaba Ilco key-in-knob cylinder a substitute for a Schlage mortise cylinder?
Neither one drops into a mortise lock. The Adams Rite 4024, 4025 and 4026 are cylinder pulls, a handle and cylinder assembly built for Adams Rite MS1847 deadlocks and, in the 4026 case, the 5017 wood door deadlock. They mount through the door, not into a lock case. The Kaba Ilco 1539, 1599 and 1579 are key-in-knob and key-in-lever replacement cylinders, a different body shape entirely. A mortise cylinder like the 38-070 threads into the cylinder prep in the lock case, and that thread and body form is what makes it a mortise cylinder.
12) Which mortise cylinder keys into an existing Schlage key system when a dummy will not do?
The Schlage 38-070 is a non-keyed dummy, so it carries no keyway at all. The Detex MC65 is a six-pin mortise cylinder cut for the Schlage C keyway at 1-1/8 inch length, which is the way to bring a mortise opening onto keys already cut for a Schlage C system. The 38-070 is offered in that same 1-1/8 inch length, so a door already fitted with the short cylinder does not need a different prep depth to take the MC65.
13) Which mortise cylinders come with the cam already specified, and how do I pick the right one?
Cam style is what marries a mortise cylinder to the lock case behind it, and the comparable mortise cylinders each call theirs out. The Corbin Russwin 1000 at 1-1/2 inch ships with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 six-pin housing at 1-1/4 inch ships with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 LFIC mortise cylinder ships with the A01 Schlage L cam for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Identify the lock case first, then order the cylinder whose cam matches it, since a straight cam and a cloverleaf cam are not interchangeable in the same lock body.
14) Is a BEST interchangeable core a substitute for a Schlage 38-070 dummy mortise cylinder?
They are different pieces of the assembly. The Schlage 38-070 is a complete non-keyed dummy cylinder for a mortise prep. The BEST 1C Series 1C5 is a standard five-pin cylinder core, the BEST Peaks 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core in seven-pin brass. A core is the keyed plug that drops into a housing built to receive it, so it belongs on an opening running an interchangeable core program rather than in a mortise prep waiting on a dummy.
15) What cylinder should I use on an aluminum storefront door rather than a Schlage 38-070?
The Schlage 38-070 is a commercial dummy mortise cylinder built around the four standard cylinder lengths of 1-1/8 inch through 1-1/2 inch, which suit a conventional mortise lock case. Narrow stile aluminum openings are where the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder fits: it is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder rated down to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, which is the thin stile condition a storefront presents. If the stile measures under the range a standard mortise cylinder covers, the 4036 is the one to spec.
16) The door has a key-in-lever or key-in-knob prep, not a mortise prep - what replaces a Schlage 38-070 there?
The Schlage 38-070 is a mortise cylinder, so it will not seat in a lever or knob prep. For those openings the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob and lever cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent locks, 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 six-pin G keyway, keyed different and supplied with two cut keys. Match the cylinder to the lock brand and chassis in the door, since the tailpiece and cam arrangement differ between them.
17) Can a Schlage 38-070 be used on a rim exit device, or do I need a different cylinder?
The Schlage 38-070 is a mortise cylinder, and a rim exit device takes a rim cylinder. For a keyed rim application the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a six-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, and tailpiece length is the dimension to confirm against the device chassis. If the rim opening only needs to look complete without keying, the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder is the rim equivalent of the dummy function the 38-070 provides in a mortise prep.
18) Do I have to specify a hand for the Schlage 38-070 mortise cylinder?
No hand to call out. The 38-070 is non-handed, so the same part goes into a left-hand or right-hand door and into either leaf of a pair. For a fleet order that means one line item covers every opening, and only length and finish have to be broken out.
19) Adams Rite cylinder pulls look similar to a mortise cylinder - are they an alternative to the Schlage 38-070?
They solve a different problem. The Schlage 38-070 is a dummy mortise cylinder that occupies a mortise cylinder prep with no key function. The Adams Rite 4024 is a cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws, both designed for use with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock and deadlatch, while the 4026 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull for the Adams Rite 5017 wood door deadlock and deadlatch. A cylinder pull gives the door a gripping surface with a keyed cylinder built into it, so it is specified against a particular Adams Rite deadlock rather than as a mortise cylinder swap.
20) What cylinder do I order for a deadbolt instead of a Schlage 38-070?
The Schlage 38-070 is a mortise dummy cylinder and carries no key function, so a deadbolt needs a cylinder built for that lock. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, the Medeco 1075127 is a five-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1012040 is a six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Identify the deadbolt brand first, because the tailpiece and motion type are what determine whether the cylinder will drive the bolt.
21) Will a Schlage 38-070 work in a residential handleset, or is there a cylinder made for that?
The Schlage 38-070 is a commercial mortise cylinder in the dummy function, sized to the mortise prep of a commercial lock case. Residential handlesets take cylinders built for those chassis: the Emtek CY4 is a replacement cylinder sold each, the Medeco 1065140 is a five-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder, and the Medeco 1065244 is a five-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Those are the ones to match against a handleset rather than a mortise cylinder body.
