Schlage B520-240 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin with set screw be used in place of the Schlage B520-240 retaining ring?
No. The Schlage B520-240 is a Waldes-style retaining ring that holds Schlage B250, B662J, and BC162J interchangeable core cylinders in proper assembly. The Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin x set screw is a spindle component for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, not a cylinder retaining ring, so it performs a different job in a different part of the lock. For servicing those Schlage IC cylinder assemblies, the B520-240 is the genuine OEM part.
2) What does the Waldes retaining ring actually do inside a Schlage IC cylinder?
It holds the cylinder assembly together. The ring snaps into its groove and keeps the cylinder retained in position so the mechanical parts stay stacked correctly during operation. Lose it or leave it out during a rebuild and the assembly will not hold its integrity. It is a replacement part, not a complete cylinder, so you are buying it to finish a repair rather than to replace a lock.
3) Can I use a generic hardware-store snap ring instead of the Schlage B520-240?
Schlage supplies the B520-240 as the OEM ring built to original factory specification for the B250, B662J and BC162J cylinders. Retaining ring fit is a groove-diameter and thickness match, so a ring that is close but not exact either will not seat or will not hold. Ordering the Schlage part number keeps the rebuild to the original spec.
4) Is the Schlage B520-240 a spindle or a retaining ring, and is it the same kind of part as a Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin?
The B520-240 is a retaining ring, not a spindle. Both sit in the same small-parts family of rings, spindles and springs, but they do different jobs: the Corbin Russwin Swivel Spindle Pin X Set Screw is a spindle component for a Corbin Russwin lock rated to a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, while the Schlage ring retains an IC cylinder assembly. They are not interchangeable and they are not for the same brand of lock.
5) I have a Schlage cylinder to reassemble and a Corbin Russwin spindle repair on another door. Do I need both parts?
Yes, they cover two separate repairs. The Schlage B520-240 is a commercial replacement retaining ring used when maintaining, repairing, or reassembling Schlage B250, B662J, or BC162J IC cylinder assemblies. The Corbin Russwin swivel spindle pin x set screw addresses a spindle connection on a 1-3/4 inch thick door. Neither substitutes for the other, so order each for its own opening.
6) Is the Schlage B520-240 ring suitable for commercial buildings or just residential locks?
It is a commercial-duty part. Schlage lists the B520-240 on the commercial side of its line, and the B250, B662J and BC162J IC cylinders it serves are the ones you find on office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities, warehouses, retail and multi-tenant residential doors. For an MRO shop keeping IC cylinders in service across a campus, this is a stock-a-few-of item.
