SDC CYL-6KAQ 6-Pin 1-1/8" Keyed-Alike Mortise Cylinder

The SDC CYL-6KAQ is a 6-pin, keyed-alike mortise lock cylinder designed for compatible Security Door Controls key switches, electrified locksets, and exit device trim. Featuring a 1-1/8-inch cylinder length and 626 dull chrome finish, it provides mechanical key operation for access control and door hardware applications. Its keyed-alike configuration allows cylinders with matching key combinations to operate using the same key. The CYL-6KAQ supports compatible SDC 700 and 800 Series key switches, Spectra exit device trim, and selected electrified locking hardware.

SDC CYL-6KAQ 6-Pin Keyed-Alike Mortise Cylinder, 1-1/8 Inch, 626 Dull Chrome

The SDC CYL-6KAQ Mortise Cylinder provides mechanical key control for compatible Security Door Controls access control switches, electrified locksets, and exit device trim assemblies. Its 6-pin configuration and keyed-alike operation support installations where matching cylinder combinations allow authorized personnel to operate more than one device with a common key. The cylinder is designed for applications requiring a conventional mechanical key interface, including key-operated access control switches, electrified door hardware, and commercial security openings. Unlike a complete key switch or lockset, the CYL-6KAQ supplies the mechanical cylinder component that operates the connected hardware.

The CYL-6KAQ features a standard 1-1/8-inch mortise cylinder length, 6-pin keying configuration, and 626 dull chrome finish. Its keyed-alike designation distinguishes it from the SDC CYL-6KDQ keyed-different cylinder, which uses separate key combinations for individual cylinders. The mortise cylinder operates mechanically through an inserted key and transfers rotation to the compatible switch or lock mechanism through the appropriate cam or tailpiece arrangement. The cylinder itself contains no electrical contacts, solenoid, or power requirements. Electrical switching and access control signaling are performed by the associated key switch assembly or electrified locking device.

The SDC CYL-6KAQ is compatible with SDC 700, 800, and 800AL Series key switch assemblies that accept standard mortise cylinders. These assemblies use key rotation to activate momentary or maintained electrical switch contacts for access control, alarm reset, or electronic door release applications. The cylinder is also listed as a compatible accessory for SDC Spectra S6000 Series exit device trim and selected HiTower and electrified lockset configurations. Installation requires positioning the cylinder in the designated opening, securing it with the appropriate retaining hardware, and aligning its operating cam with the connected mechanical or electrical mechanism. Cam configuration and installation hardware must match the selected device.

The SDC CYL-6KAQ supports commercial key control and replacement cylinder applications where compatible hardware requires a 1-1/8-inch mortise cylinder with keyed-alike operation. Its 626 dull chrome finish matches compatible satin chrome door hardware, key switch faceplates, and security trim. The cylinder can be used for new installations or replacement of compatible mechanical key cylinders without replacing the complete access control assembly. The CYL-6KAQ is a mechanical accessory rather than a standalone electric lock or key switch, and its compatibility depends on cylinder length, cam configuration, and the receiving hardware. Installation and keying must follow SDC specifications and the security requirements of the facility.
