Ilco 7185 Mortise Cylinder - 1-1/8" Length Solid Brass Schlage C Keyway
The Ilco 7185 Mortise Cylinder is a professional-grade architectural hardware component designed for high-security commercial and institutional door applications. Machined from solid brass bar stock, this 1-1/8" cylinder is engineered to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring a precision fit in a wide range of mortise locksets and aluminum storefront doors. Featuring the industry-standard Schlage C Keyway, it serves as a foundational security solution for facility managers looking to integrate new hardware into existing master key systems while maintaining the highest standards of physical protection.
This versatile cylinder is a premier retrofit solution for retail entrances, healthcare facilities, and office complexes. It comes standard with two of the most utilized cam profiles in the industry: the Adams Rite Cam (863A) for narrow-stile aluminum doors and the Wide Cam (863G) for traditional mortise locksets. By offering a 5-pin configuration drilled for 6-pin expansion, the Ilco 7185 provides the flexibility to upgrade security levels without replacing the entire cylinder housing, making it a cost-effective choice for evolving facility needs.
Mortise Cylinder Function & Cam Versatility
A Mortise Cylinder is the threaded mechanical interface that translates a key turn into the movement of a lock's internal bolt. The Ilco 7185 excels in versatility through its interchangeable cam system:
- Adams Rite (863A) Function: Specifically designed to operate MS (Maximum Security) deadlocks and deadlatches. This is the primary solution for securing glass-and-aluminum storefront doors.
- Wide Cam (863G) Function: Optimized for standard commercial mortise locks (such as Yale or Corbin Russwin style), allowing the cylinder to retract heavy-duty latches and deadbolts in wood or hollow metal doors.
- Keyed Differently (KD) Security: Each cylinder is supplied with unique keys, ensuring individual access control. For larger projects, Factory Master Keying and Construction Core options are available to manage multi-level access during and after building occupancy.
- Drilled for 6-Pins: While furnished as a 5-pin system for standard Schlage C compatibility, the additional drilling allows locksmiths to add a sixth pin for increased pick resistance and expanded master keying possibilities.

Engineered Solutions for Facility Access Control
The Ilco 7185 provides strategic mechanical solutions for commercial infrastructure challenges:
- Universal Storefront Integration: The combination of a 1-1/8" length and the Adams Rite Cam solves the most common replacement issue for aluminum storefront doors, ensuring the cylinder sits flush while providing enough reach for the deadlock mechanism.
- Corrosion-Resistant Performance: The solid brass construction is the gold standard for exterior-facing doors. Unlike zinc-alloy cylinders, it will not "freeze" or corrode when exposed to rain, humidity, or salt air.
- Scalable Security Infrastructure: The "Drilled for 6" feature is a forward-thinking maintenance solution. It allows a facility to start with basic 5-pin security and upgrade to a more complex 6-pin master key system later without purchasing new housings.
- Architectural Finish Consistency: Available in Satin Chrome (US26D), Polished Brass (US3), and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), this cylinder ensures that high-security upgrades do not compromise the building's aesthetic design.
- Simplified Master Keying: Because it uses the Schlage C keyway, it can be integrated into the most widely used commercial key systems in North America, allowing one key to open multiple doors and reducing "key ring clutter" for staff.
