Schlage’s high quality conventional cylinders provide the
standard, normal level of security and functionality for
Schlage locks. Using only solid brass
bar stock plugs and shells, phosphor
bronze springs, nickel silver keys and
bottom pins, ensures long life and
ease of operation.
6-pin Everest cylinders in C123
keyway with two patented keys are
standard for stock. C145 is standard for new master
key systems.
Choose the Right Cylinder for Each Application
Conventional (Standard) Cylinders
Primus high security cylinders are available to add
patented key control and varying degrees of geographical
exclusivity to most Schlage 6-pin
key systems, whether using Everest or
Classic keyways.
In addition to a conventional
pin tumbler mechanism, Primus
cylinders incorporate a patented
finger pin and sidebar design
providing a “dual-locking” cylinder that is virtually
pick-proof. Resistance to drilling and other physical
attack is optional by specifying 20-500 Series UL437
Listed cylinders.
Primus ® High Security Cylinders
For use where fast rekeying by non-technical personnel is
desired, Schlage Primus and conventional interchangeable
cores offer a great blend of security
and convenience. The special control
key for the system is all you need to
remove the old core and install a new
one. The core itself can be rekeyed
with standard Schlage pin kits.
Unlike some other brands, Schlage interchangeable cores
can always be integrated into existing systems with no
adverse affect on the key system.
IC locks are especially well suited to chain stores and
restaurants where frequent employee turnover requires
immediate rekeying by store management, and hardware
such as exit devices, which are labor-intensive to rekey.
Interchangeable Core (IC) Cylinders
Available in rim and mortise cylinders only, Lockout
cylinders are designed for doors where it is frequently
desirable to disable all keys from
operating the lock temporarily.
The special lockout key can be
removed while the plug is turned to
the 11 o’clock position, preventing
all normal operating keys, including
master keys, from fully entering the
cylinder.
Suggested applications for lockout cylinders include
laboratories, dark rooms, clean rooms, and exterior doors
to dormitories.
Schlage will not master key lockout cylinders.
