CYLINDERS, KEYS AND KEY CONTROL

Performance Features

The Schlage Primus High Security cylinder is precision built to extremely close tolerances and the highest standards of quality.
These “dual-locking” cylinders consist of two independent locking mechanisms, operated by a single specially designed
Primus key. In addition to a standard 6 pin tumbler mechanism there is a locking sidebar which is independently controlled
by a set of 5 fingerpins that interface with the side bitting on the patented Primus key.

Primus cylinders are offered in two different versions. The 20-500 High Security series which is UL Listed and the 20-700
Controlled Access series which offers the same key control protection when UL Listed cylinders are not necessary. Both series
are fully compatible in application and can be combined into the same master key system, along with other Schlage
conventional cylinders. For added flexibility, all Primus cylinders can be retrofitted into existing Schlage locks as well as
many competitive products.

Primus Flexibility

Unlike many other brands of high security cylinders, Schlage can easily integrate Primus UL 437 Listed cylinders, Primus
Controlled Access cylinders, and Schlage conventional cylinders all into the same key system, and this happens with no
adverse affects on keying capacity!

Primus keys will operate conventional cylinders but conventional keys will not operate Primus cylinders. You can secure
exterior doors and sensitive areas with Primus cylinders and use conventional cylinders on the remaining doors. This cuts the
cost of the overall job.

Security can be tailored to meet the exact needs of each door without sacrificing the convenience of having a single building
master key.

Note: Everest Primus keys are compatible with Everest C Family Open

or

Everest D Family Restricted key systems.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
