About this item
The Accentra (Yale) 1152/6 is a 6-pin mortise cylinder in the GA keyway, with a 1-1/8-inch body length, a straight cam (1161), and a 626 satin chrome finish. The full product code is 1152-6-GA-118-626: 1152 identifies the Yale mortise cylinder series, 6 is the pin count, GA is the keyway designation, 118 is the 1-1/8-inch body length, and 626 is the satin chrome ANSI finish code. This cylinder is used in mortise lock applications requiring the Yale 1152 format. SKU: 1152-6-GA-118-626.
What the 1152/6 product code means and how to verify you need this cylinder
The Yale 1152 is a standard mortise cylinder format found across Yale mortise lock bodies and compatible third-party mortise lock chassis. The /6 (or -6) designation identifies this as the 6-pin configuration. The 1152 series is also available in 5-pin configurations, so confirming the pin count on the existing cylinder before ordering a replacement is necessary to ensure the new cylinder accepts the existing key cuts.
The GA keyway is a Yale proprietary keyway designation. If you're replacing an existing 1152 cylinder, the keyway on the replacement must match the keyway on the cylinder being replaced for the existing keys to continue operating the lock. The GA keyway designation will be visible on the existing cylinder's key or can be confirmed from the original hardware order or the facility's key system records. For key blanks compatible with the Yale GA keyway, the key blanks catalog covers the available options. For the full range of cylinders, cores, and cylinder components, the cylinders, cores, and keys section covers the available options.
What the straight cam (1161) and 1-1/8-inch body length mean for mortise lock compatibility
The cam is the part at the back of the mortise cylinder that engages the mortise lock body mechanism. When the key rotates the cylinder plug, the cam rotates and operates the lock's internal cam follower or tail. The straight cam (Yale designation 1161) is the standard cam for the majority of Yale mortise lock applications. Mortise lock chassis that require a different cam geometry will specify that requirement. Confirm the cam type required by the mortise lock body before ordering.
The 1-1/8-inch body length (coded as 118 in the product number) refers to the overall length of the cylinder body from the face of the cylinder to the back of the cam. This dimension must match the cylinder pocket depth in the mortise lock chassis. Standard Yale mortise locks are designed for specific cylinder lengths, and installing a cylinder that is too long or too short results in the cam either not reaching the lock mechanism or extending past it. For mortise locks that accept the Yale 1152 format cylinder, the mortise locks catalog covers the available range.
Where the Yale 1152 mortise cylinder is installed and how it fits into a key system
The Yale 1152 mortise cylinder format is installed in mortise lock bodies used on commercial entry doors, office suite doors, corridor doors, and any application where a mortise lock is the specified lock type. Mortise locks are predominant in commercial and institutional construction and provide a more robust locking mechanism than cylindrical locks in the same door thickness range.
The 1152-6-GA-118-626 is keyed different from the factory unless specified otherwise. It can be incorporated into a master key or grand master key system during a rekeying operation by a licensed locksmith or key control authority. For Accentra lever locks and other door hardware that pairs with mortise lock installations, the Accentra lever locks catalog is available. For the full commercial lock range including other Yale and Accentra hardware, browse the commercial locks section.
Confirm the keyway (GA), pin count (6), cam type (straight, 1161), and body length (1-1/8 inch) match the existing installation before ordering. Finish: 626 satin chrome.
