Conventional (Standard) Cylinders

S145 is standard for new master key systems. (Legacy Everest keyways are available upon specification).

What is a conventional cylinder?
A conventional cylinder is one that requires some breakdown of the lock in order to be removed. These are the most commonly used cylinders. Because conventional cylinders are manufacturer-specific to the lock and lock type, they cannot be exchanged for another in most cases. However, conventional cylinders can be keyed alike or master keyed so that you can use just one key for multiple locks if needed. They are best suited for light commercial applications with a small number of users, such as retail stores and small offices, as well as residential applications that do not require frequent change of cylinders.

Only Schlage provides 6-pin Everest 29 cylinders in the S123 keyway with two patented keys standard for stock. S145 is standard for new master key systems.

This type of core is most common in these types of locks/trims:

key-in-lever
mortise
rim

What is Primus XP?
Primus XP is a patented side bit milling that precisely aligns five finger pins at a sidebar in the cylinder. This unique side bitting makes unauthorized duplication virtually impossible and is also used to create geographically exclusive keys in a thousand available combinations. In addition to a conventional pin tumbler mechanism, Primus cylinders incorporate a patented finger pins and sidebar design, providing a “dual locking” cylinder that is virtually pick-proof. Primus XP technology can be used to upgrade an Everest or Classic system to a high-security cylinder. Resistance to drilling and other physical attack is optional by specifying 20-500 Series UL437 Listed cylinders.

What is UL437?
The primary function of the UL437 standard is to certify that a cylinder is pick and drill resistant and canwithstand extreme physical attacks. Primus UL437 Listed cylinders have a series of hardened steel drill pins added to our already pick-resistant Primus cylinders. Since this adds cost to the cylinder for a feature that many customers don’t require, Schlage leaves the cylinder choice up to you.
