Schlage L520253 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage L520-253 cam used for?
It's a clover-style cam for small format interchangeable core (SFIC) and full size interchangeable core (FSIC) mortise cylinders, matching the Corbin Russwin clover cam pattern. The cam is the tailpiece on the back of the mortise cylinder that drives the lock case, so you order it to match the cylinder and the lock it has to operate. It's a Schlage L Series part for commercial use.
2) Will the L520-253 clover cam work on a cylindrical or bored lock?
No. This cam is for mortise cylinders and mortise lock applications only. A bored cylindrical lockset uses a tailpiece, not a mortise cam, so you'd need the cylinder part specific to that lock instead.
3) I have Corbin Russwin cores in my building but Schlage mortise locks. Does this cam bridge that?
That's the situation this part addresses. The L520-253 is the clover cam pattern used by Corbin Russwin interchangeable core mortise cylinders, supplied as a Schlage L Series accessory, so a facility standardized on clover-cam cylinders can keep that keying arrangement when working with the mortise lock case. Confirm the cam pattern stamped on the cylinder you're servicing is the clover type before swapping.
4) Is the L520-253 a complete mortise cylinder or just the cam?
Just the cam. You still need the mortise cylinder housing and the interchangeable core (SFIC or FSIC) keyed to your system. The cam is the piece that ties that cylinder to the mortise lock case.
5) Does the cam finish have to match the rest of my door hardware?
Many parts in this family are finish specific, so order the part that corresponds to the cylinder and lock finish you're working with. On a cam the finish rarely shows once the cylinder is installed, but matching keeps replacement parts consistent across a building's openings.
6) Is the L520-253 cam suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial door hardware item, part of Schlage's L Series mortise lock program. Residential bored locks won't use it.
