Schlage Modular Cylinder

[KokomoLock]

First off thanks to Selim for the lock!!!! This is the new Schlage Modular Cylinder, one cylinder converts to three different locks
by changing the front and rear housing. It can be used as a key in lever cylinder, a rim cylinder or a mortise cylinder. Here is a link to the PDF that shows all the different options and finishes available http://w3.securitytechnologies.com/IRSTDocuments1/SC_5883_Schlage_Modular_Cylinder_SellSheet.pdf. Also, here is a YouTube video I found explaining the Modular Cylinder.





T15 torque driver for the housing screws and T10 for the tailpiece screw.

ONE CYLINDER TO RULE THEM ALL!!! uhhh...yeah. Very cool lock, I hope to get my hands on one somedy. I just got an IC Schlage Everest from Selim, and 4 other awesome locks (great guy is Selim), and it has a cutout on the bottom of the Mortise cylinder. I have never seen a mortise like the one he sent me.

Lets see a picture of the mortise you are talking about!!!

That cut-out is very common with Schlage LFIC mortise housings. I'm not sure I've seen one without it even. Why it's there I'm not sure. The rim cylinder LFIC housings do not have the cutout if I remember right.

chris, it gives you access to the check pin. also if you remove the screw and cam from the back you can engage the control pin using an operating key and a small hook, i dunno how the lockie did it but it worked.... Back on topic: this is cool!!!

[chris]

Yeah but what's the point in accessing the check pin when it's in the housing and out of the door? It won't really help getting it out if you don't have a key, you still have to pick the lock anyway and if you pick the lock then you can just as easily raise the check pin. If you are using the operating key and a pick to get the core out then you don't need to fuck with the check pin anyway, the operating key will do that.
