Schlage 23-105 5-Pin C Keyway Replacement Cylinder for B60 Deadbolts

The Schlage 23-105 is a direct-replacement cylinder engineered for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks. It uses the standard Schlage C keyway profile, drops into existing hardware without modification, and is available in three finishes — Satin Brass (606), Matte Black (622), and Satin Chrome (626) — so the replacement matches the original. Constructed from stainless steel and backed by a Limited Lifetime Mechanical/Finish warranty, this is the part locksmiths, property managers, and MRO buyers reach for when a B60 cylinder needs to be rekeyed or swapped.

Schlage Residential 23105C626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage 23-105 cylinder work in a Kwikset or Emtek deadbolt?

No. The 23-105 is cut to the Schlage C keyway and built for Schlage B60 and F series bodies. For a Kwikset single cylinder deadbolt, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder made for that application. For an Emtek handleset or deadbolt outside cylinder, the Medeco 1065140 5-pin retrofit covers it, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder with an Emtek tailpiece. Tailpiece geometry is what decides this, not the keyway alone.

2) Is the Schlage 23-105 replacement cylinder a C keyway, and will it work on my existing Schlage C key system?

C keyway, yes. The 23-105 uses the standard Schlage C profile, which is the same keyway most residential Schlage hardware ships on, so it can be keyed into an existing Schlage C key management or master key program rather than forcing a separate key for that door.

3) Can I use the Schlage 23-105 cylinder on a commercial mortise lock or an exit device?

No. The 23-105 is a residential cylinder for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks, not a mortise or rim cylinder. For a rim exit device on a Schlage C keyway, look at the Schlage Commercial 20-021 rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam or the 20-022 with a horizontal cam. For a mortise prep on the same keyway, the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin commercial mortise cylinder cut to Schlage C.

4) What replaces a Schlage 23-105 cylinder if the deadbolt sits in an aluminum storefront door instead of a residential door?

The 23-105 is a residential-duty replacement cylinder for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks, and it is built around the Schlage C keyway. An aluminum storefront opening usually runs an Adams Rite deadlock rather than a B60, and the cylinder that serves it is a different part: the Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is a Grade 1 five-pin cylinder with a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness, sized for that style of narrow stile hardware. If the lock body in the door is an Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock, the cylinder pull assemblies are the matching parts instead - the Adams Rite 4025 is a five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws for the MS1847, and the Adams Rite 4024 mounts to the MS1847 with a trim plate.

5) Can a Schlage 20-021 rim cylinder be used in place of a 23-105 on a B60 deadbolt?

No - they are different cylinder types serving different lock bodies. The 23-105 is the replacement cylinder for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks and carries a five-pin Schlage C keyway. The Schlage Commercial 20-021 is a rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam and six pins, supplied with two keys, and the 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam. Rim cylinders mount behind a rim device such as an exit device, not into a B60 deadbolt body, so the two are not interchangeable even though both are Schlage.

6) We are standardizing a building on interchangeable core so one person can rekey without pulling cylinders - what do we buy instead of the 23-105?

The 23-105 is a conventional five-pin cylinder: rekeying it means pinning the cylinder itself. For a facility that wants cores swapped by hand instead, the Schlage Commercial 20-057 is a six-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam, and the 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in the C keyway in 643E Aged Bronze. On the BEST side, the 1C Series is a standard five-pin cylinder core, the Peaks 1CB is a 150 series interchangeable core, and the 1CDF is a drill resistant patented seven-pin interchangeable core in brass, also 150 series. Note the 20-057-C uses the same C keyway family as the 23-105, so an existing Schlage C key system carries over; the BEST cores are their own keyway system.

7) The deadbolt on the door is not a Schlage - what is the equivalent of the 23-105 for other brands?

The 23-105 only serves Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks. For deadbolts of other makes, Kaba Ilco builds the equivalent replacement cylinders by host lock: the 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, the 1539 Series is a key-in-knob and lever universal cylinder, the 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder, and the 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent. For an Emtek lock the Emtek CY4 cylinder is the brand's own part. Identify the lock body first - cylinder selection follows the lock, not the door.

8) Which cylinder keeps a Schlage C key system when the lock is a mortise lock rather than a B60 deadbolt?

The 23-105 carries the Schlage C keyway but is cut for B60 deadbolts and F series locks, so it does not serve a mortise lock body. Two peers stay on Schlage C in mortise format: the Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch six-pin commercial grade mortise cylinder with the Schlage C keyway, and the Corbin Russwin 1080 is a Grade 1 series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder, six-pin, for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 cloverleaf cam. Matching the keyway keeps the same key in the tenant's hand; matching the cam and length is what makes the cylinder actually throw the lock.

9) How many pins does the Schlage 23-105 cylinder have, and can I master key it?

Five pins. That 5-pin tumbler layout is the standard Schlage residential configuration and it supports keyed-alike, keyed-different, and master key setups, which is why property managers replacing cylinders across a building can bring a whole floor onto one key. A 5-pin cylinder cannot be combined with 6-pin hardware on the same key bitting, so keep the pin count consistent across the openings you are keying together.

10) Which finish of the Schlage 23-105 should I order to match my deadbolt?

Three finishes are made: 606 Satin Brass, 622 Matte Black, and 626 Satin Chrome. Match the number stamped or specified on the existing deadbolt rather than eyeballing the color, since 626 Satin Chrome and 619 Satin Nickel read very similarly on a door but are different finishes. Only the cylinder face shows once installed, so the match matters mainly against the deadbolt rose.

11) What is the part number for the Schlage 23-105 cylinder in satin chrome?

Satin chrome is 23-105C626: the 23-105 model, C for the Schlage C keyway, and 626 for the finish. That is the number to quote when you need the chrome one specifically rather than the brass or black.

12) Does the Schlage 23-105 come with keys, or do I need to have it cut?

One replacement cylinder is what ships. Product photography for the 23-105 shows it with two Schlage C keyway keys on a ring. If you are rekeying to match an existing building key rather than accepting a factory cut, plan on having it pinned to your bitting.

13) I need to rekey a bunch of apartment deadbolts. Is replacing the cylinder better than swapping the whole deadbolt?

For a fleet of Schlage B60 deadbolts, the cylinder is the cheaper move on labor: the 23-105 drops into the existing hardware with no modification, so the bolt, strike, and door prep all stay as they are and no one is re-boring doors. Swap the whole lock only when the deadbolt body itself is worn or you are changing to a different function. Order the finish per door so the new faces match what is already up.

14) What is the difference between the Schlage 23-105 and an interchangeable core cylinder?

The 23-105 is a conventional pinned cylinder: to change the key you take the cylinder apart and repin it. An interchangeable core, like the Schlage Commercial 20-057-C full size IC core in C keyway or the BEST 1C 5-pin standard core, pulls out with a control key and swaps in seconds with no disassembly. If you are managing turnover across many units and want field key changes without a pinning kit, the IC route is the one built for that. For a one-off B60 cylinder replacement, the 23-105 is the direct fit.

15) Is there a high-security cylinder that fits a deadbolt where a standard 23-105 goes?

The 23-105 is a stainless steel five-pin cylinder on the Schlage C keyway, which is a standard commodity keyway. Buyers who want a patented key system in a deadbolt typically move to a Medeco retrofit cylinder chosen by the host lock: the Medeco 1075127 is a five-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the 1012040 is a six-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts, and the 1065140 is a five-pin retrofit for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder. These are keyed to their own restricted systems rather than Schlage C, so a switch means new keys for that door.

16) Does a five-pin cylinder like the 23-105 limit a master key system compared with six-pin cylinders?

The 23-105 is a five-pin tumbler cylinder on the Schlage C keyway, a configuration that supports standard keying and master key work in residential and light commercial use. Several commercial peers are built six-pin instead: the Corbin Russwin 1070 is a Grade 1 series 1-1/4 inch six-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaft cam, the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a six-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, and the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key in lever cylinder in the RU/T series six-pin G keyway, keyed different with two cut keys. Pin count has to be consistent within a system, so a building already pinned five-pin stays five-pin at the deadbolt.

17) What do I order if the door needs the look of a keyed cylinder but no key function?

The 23-105 is a working keyed cylinder - it is the part that operates a Schlage B60 deadbolt or F series lock. Where an opening needs the appearance without operation, the equivalent is a dummy: the BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and fills the prep without a functioning key mechanism. Common on inactive leaves and doors where the prep exists but the lock function has been abandoned.

18) For an Emtek handleset and deadbolt, is the Emtek CY4 or a Medeco retrofit the right cylinder?

Neither the 23-105 nor any Schlage C cylinder fits an Emtek lock - the 23-105 is cut for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks. Within the Emtek family, the CY4 is Emtek's own cylinder sold each. Two Medeco retrofits also address Emtek: the 1065140 is a five-pin retrofit for the Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder as well as the Arrow JL interconnected lock, and the 1065244 is a five-pin rim lazy motion rim type cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. The CY4 keeps the factory key system; the Medeco parts put the door on a Medeco key.

19) Is a Grade 1 mortise cylinder a stronger substitute for the 23-105 on an apartment entry deadbolt?

It is not a substitute at all, because the two mount differently. The 23-105 is a stainless steel residential replacement cylinder that drops into an existing Schlage B60 deadbolt or F series lock without modification. A Grade 1 mortise cylinder such as the Corbin Russwin 1000, which is a 1-1/2 inch length cylinder with an A02 straight cam, threads into a mortise lock case - the deadbolt body would have to be replaced with a mortise lock before it could be used. On an apartment entry already fitted with a B60, the 23-105 is the part that matches the existing prep.

20) What is the Schlage 23-105 cylinder made of, and will it hold up on an exterior door?

Stainless steel. That is a corrosion-resistant substrate, which is what you want on an entry door cylinder exposed to weather, and it is why the part carries into light commercial use as well as houses. The finish on the visible face is the plated layer; the body underneath is the stainless.

21) Is there a higher security replacement cylinder I can put in a Schlage residential deadbolt instead?

If the goal is key control and drill resistance rather than a straight like-for-like swap, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts. The trade-off is keying: the 23-105 stays on your existing Schlage C key system, while moving to a Medeco means that door comes off the C keyway and onto a separate key.

22) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 4026 and the 4025 when replacing a cylinder pull on a wood door?

Both are five pin tumbler cylinder pulls, but they follow different deadlocks. The Adams Rite 4026 is built for wood door applications and is designed for use with the Adams Rite 5017 WoodDoor deadlock/deadlatch, while the 4025 is a through-screw cylinder pull for the MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch. The 23-105 does not enter this comparison - it is the replacement cylinder for Schlage B60 deadbolts and F series locks and does not serve an Adams Rite deadlock.
