Schlage L583-153 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Schlage L583-153 cam actually do on a mortise lock?
The L583-153 is the cam that mounts on the back of a mortise cylinder and transfers the key turn into the mortise lock body. Without the correct cam, the cylinder threads into the lock case but the retractor never moves. It is the Schlage L cam, cut for use with Schlage mortise cylinders in Everest and Primus keyways.
2) Will the Schlage L583-153 cam work with my Schlage L Series mortise lock?
Yes. The L583-153 is the L Series cam, and it is specified for mortise lock applications. If your opening uses a Schlage L Series mortise lock body with a Schlage mortise cylinder, this is the cam that pairs the two.
3) Does the L583-153 cam work with Primus cylinders as well as standard Everest?
Both. The cam is called out for Everest and Primus mortise cylinders, so a facility that runs standard Everest keying on most doors and Primus on restricted openings uses the same cam on the mortise lock bodies.
4) Is the L583-153 cam for commercial or residential doors?
Commercial. The L583-153 is part of Schlage's commercial mortise lock program, so it belongs on institutional, multi-family, and commercial openings rather than residential tubular or cylindrical hardware.
5) Do I need to match the finish when ordering a Schlage L583-153 cam?
Finish matters on much of the Schlage L Series parts program, since many components are finish specific. The cam itself sits behind the cylinder inside the lock case, so what you need to match on a visible replacement is the cylinder and its collar or escutcheon, not the cam.
6) Is the L583-153 a genuine Schlage part or an aftermarket cam?
It is a certified Schlage part, ordered by Schlage's own designation L583-153. For keyed systems running Everest or Primus, staying with the factory cam avoids the fit problems that show up when a substitute cam does not index correctly in the lock case.
