Accentra 2213 LFIC 7-Pin Mortise Cylinder Housing – Less Core, US26D, 1-11/16" Extended Length

The Accentra 2213 LFIC 7-Pin Mortise Cylinder Housing is a large format interchangeable core (LFIC) mortise housing engineered for commercial and institutional door security applications. Supplied less core (housing only), this shell accepts a compatible large format interchangeable core, giving facility managers and security administrators the ability to rekey doors instantly — no lock removal, no tools beyond a control key. The 1-11/16" extended shell length accommodates thicker door preparations and extended mortise lock cylinders, and the US26D (satin chrome) finish delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant appearance suited to high-traffic commercial openings.

What Is an LFIC Housing — and Why It Matters

Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) technology separates the cylinder housing from the keying core. The housing is permanently installed in the mortise lock; the core is inserted and locked in place by a standard operating key. When rekeying is required — after a key loss, personnel change, or security event — a control key releases the locking cam inside the housing, the old core slides out, and a new pre-keyed core drops in within seconds. No locksmith, no disassembly, no downtime. This makes LFIC the preferred cylinder system for schools, hospitals, government facilities, universities, and large commercial campuses where rapid rekeying is operationally critical.

Key Features & Benefits

• 7-Pin LFIC format — higher key combination capacity and enhanced security compared to standard 5- or 6-pin systems
• Less Core (housing only) — order your preferred keyed, construction, or uncombinated LFIC core separately to match your master key system
• 1-11/16" extended shell length — designed for mortise lock applications requiring a longer cylinder projection
• US26D finish (satin chrome / BHMA 626) — corrosion-resistant, low-glare finish appropriate for commercial and institutional hardware schedules
• Mortise cylinder format — threaded exterior body interfaces directly with standard mortise lock tailpiece and cam arrangements
• Rapid rekeying via control key — no lock removal required; minimizes facility downtime and locksmith labor costs
• Compatible with large format IC core programs — accepts permanent keyed, disposable construction, keyed construction, and uncombinated cores (ordered separately)

Typical Applications

• Commercial office buildings and corporate campuses with master key systems
• K–12 schools, colleges, and universities requiring frequent rekeying
• Healthcare facilities and hospitals with high personnel turnover
• Government and municipal buildings requiring controlled key access
• Hospitality and multi-tenant facilities managing multiple key hierarchies
• Replacement or upgrade of existing mortise cylinder housings in LFIC-compatible mortise locks

Ordering Note

This SKU is the housing only — no core is included. A compatible large format interchangeable core (permanent keyed, construction, or uncombinated) must be ordered separately to complete the cylinder assembly. Ensure your core selection matches the housing's 7-pin configuration and your facility's key system. Contact DoorwaysPlus for assistance specifying the correct core, control key, or compatible mortise lock hardware.

The Accentra 2213 LFIC Mortise Cylinder Housing (formerly Yale) is a premium, extended-length architectural component designed for high-security 7-Pin Large Format Interchangeable Core systems. At 1-11/16" in length, this housing is specifically engineered for oversized door thicknesses, specialized escutcheon trims, or deep-set mortise pockets where a standard length cylinder cannot reach.

Finished in a professional 626/US26D Satin Chrome, the Accentra 2213 shell allows for rapid, tool-free re-keying when paired with a compatible removable core. This "quick-change" capability is the gold standard for Commercial Door Hardware in institutional settings like hospitals and universities, allowing facility managers to maintain absolute key control without ever removing the housing from the door.
