Choose the Right Cylinder for Each Application

Conventional (Standard) Cylinders

Interchangeable Core (IC) Cylinders

Schlage® locks are provided with cylinders precision built to extremely close tolerances and the highest standards of accuracy. 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.

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 that is required to remove the old core and

install the 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.

Primus® High Security 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 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® Lockout 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.

KEYS AND KEY CONTROL, CYLINDERS specifications

Schlage cylinders, keys, and key control systems represent a cornerstone in modern security technology, providing robust access control solutions for residential and commercial applications. These systems are designed to ensure that only authorized individuals can gain entry, thereby enhancing the safety and security of properties.

One of the main features of Schlage cylinders is their advanced locking mechanism. Schlage uses high-security grade materials that resist picking and bumping, common methods employed by intruders. Their locks are tested to meet rigorous industry standards, providing peace of mind for users. Additionally, Schlage offers a range of cylinder types, including standard pin tumbler cylinders, high-security cylinders, and interchangeable core systems, allowing users to choose the level of security that best meets their needs.

In terms of technology, Schlage is a pioneer in integrating smart technology with traditional locking systems. Their electronic locks come with features such as keyless entry, Bluetooth connectivity, and mobile app control, allowing for remote access and management. This means that users can unlock their doors using smartphones, granting access to guests or service personnel without the need for physical keys. Schlage also provides solutions with built-in alarms, which can alert users to unauthorized entry attempts.

Another critical characteristic of Schlage systems is their key control capabilities. Schlage offers patented key control solutions that restrict unauthorized duplication of keys. Users can order keys that are exclusive to their specific lock configuration, preventing any duplication at hardware stores. This feature is particularly crucial for businesses and organizations that require strict access control measures to protect sensitive information and assets.

Moreover, Schlage's commitment to innovation is evident in its continuous development of new products that meet the evolving needs of security. Their integration of smart home technology into existing security frameworks demonstrates a forward-thinking approach that combines convenience with safety.

In summary, Schlage cylinders, keys, and key control systems stand out due to their durability, advanced locking technologies, and intelligent design features. By combining high-security measures with user-friendly technologies, Schlage provides effective security solutions suitable for various environments, making it a trusted name in the security industry.
