Corbin Russwin Key Blank 6-Pin 10 (box of 50)

Running a keying program on a Corbin Russwin master key system means having the right key blank stock on hand for every keyway in the system. Cut the wrong blank and the key won't turn. Order the right blank and everything works. The Corbin Russwin 6-pin key blank in the "10" (nickel silver) bow series is the OEM factory blank for the full range of Corbin Russwin 6-pin conventional cylinders across cylindrical, mortise, deadlock, rim, and exit device applications. These are genuine Corbin Russwin blanks stamped with the Corbin Russwin logo, made in the USA, BAA qualified, and sold in a box of 50 per keyway selection.

The keyway determines which cylinder this blank fits. You select your specific keyway at the time of order. For help identifying which cylinders and locks use which keyways, browse our full Corbin Russwin key blanks selection or view our complete cylinders, cores, and keys catalog.

How to Identify Your Corbin Russwin Keyway

The keyway is the profile cut into the cylinder plug that determines which key blank fits. Every Corbin Russwin cylinder has a keyway designation stamped on the cylinder face or listed in the original keying spec sheet. If you can't find the spec sheet, the quickest method is to bring a working key to a Corbin Russwin distributor and compare the key bow profile against the keyway chart. The bow shape and blade profile together identify the keyway.

If you're managing an existing Corbin Russwin master key system and need to cut additional keys, you must order blanks that match the original keyway registered to your system. Ordering a different keyway that looks similar but isn't registered to your system will produce a key that doesn't cycle the cylinder correctly.

Corbin Russwin Keyway Reference Guide

The following are the most commonly specified 6-pin keyways available on this blank. Select the keyway that matches your existing Corbin Russwin cylinders.

L4: The most widely used Corbin Russwin keyway across the CL Series cylindrical locks, ML2000 mortise locksets, 1000 Series mortise cylinders, DL4000 deadlocks, and exit device cylinders. If you're buying Corbin Russwin blanks for the first time and aren't sure of your keyway, L4 is the most likely match for standard commercial Corbin Russwin installations from the past 40 years.

59A1 and 59A2: High security conventional keyways with restricted key section profiles. Used in installations requiring additional key control beyond the standard L4 section.

D1, D2, D3, D4: Russwin legacy keyways used in older Russwin hardware installed before the Corbin and Russwin merger. If your hardware has "Russwin" branding without "Corbin" on the face, D-series keyways are the most likely match.

77: The Russwin 77 keyway, used in vintage Russwin cylindrical and mortise hardware. A common keyway for facility managers maintaining older institutional buildings with original Russwin installations.

981: Russwin 981 keyway for specific Russwin legacy cylinder configurations.

59B1, 59B2, 59C1, 59C2, 59D1, 59D2: Additional conventional keyways in the 59-series family with varying security levels and key section profiles. Used in Corbin Russwin master key systems where key section separation is required between different access groups.
