Accentra (Yale) 2153 114, 1-1/4" Mortise Cylinder 6-pin

The Accentra (Yale) 2153 114 is a conventional 6-pin mortise cylinder with a 1-1/4-inch body length and a 2160 cam, used in mortise lock bodies that accept the Yale 2153 cylinder format at the 1-1/4-inch depth. The 114 in the product code identifies the 1-1/4-inch body length. The cylinder is available across the PARA, GA through GH, SA through SH, and TA through TH keyway series in seven finish options. SKU: 2153 114.

How to read the 2153 body length code and confirm you need the 114 vs 112

The Yale 2153 mortise cylinder is available in multiple body lengths, each identified by the three-digit code following the keyway designation in the full part number. The 114 designation identifies the 1-1/4-inch body. The 112 designation identifies the 1-1/2-inch body. Reading the body length code: the first digit is the whole-inch dimension, the last two digits are the fractional inch in quarters. So 114 = 1 and 1/4 inches. 112 = 1 and 1/2 inches (which is 2/4). The 114 body is shorter than the 112 body by 1/4 inch.

The body length must match the cylinder pocket depth in the mortise lock chassis. Installing the 114 in a pocket designed for the 112 will leave the cam unable to engage the lock mechanism at the correct depth. Installing the 112 in a pocket designed for the 114 will prevent the lock body from accepting the longer cylinder. Measure the existing cylinder body from the cylinder face to the back of the cam, or confirm from the mortise lock manufacturer's specification, before selecting the correct body length. For the 1-1/2-inch version of the same cylinder, the Accentra Yale 2153 112 mortise cylinder is also stocked. For the full range of cylinders, cores, and cylinder components, the cylinders, cores, and keys section covers the available options.

What the 2160 cam does on the 2153 114 mortise cylinder

The 2160 cam is the factory-standard cam supplied with the 2153 114 cylinder. The cam sits at the back of the cylinder body and converts key rotation into mechanical movement within the mortise lock body. When the key turns the plug, the cam rotates and operates the lock's internal cam follower, which in turn controls the latchbolt and deadbolt throw according to the mortise lock function.

Some mortise lock bodies or applications require a different cam geometry. The 2160 cam is the correct starting specification for most Yale mortise lock applications, but confirm the cam requirement with the mortise lock manufacturer's specification if the lock body has a non-standard cam pocket. For mortise locks at American Locksets that accept the Yale 2153 cylinder format, the mortise locks catalog covers the available range.

Keyway selection and finish options for the 2153 114

The 2153 114 is available in a broader keyway selection than the 2153 112, including the PARA keyway series in addition to the GA through GH, SA through SH, and TA through TH keyway series. The PARA keyway is a Yale proprietary paracentric key profile used in certain commercial and institutional key system specifications. Confirm whether the installation requires a PARA keyway or one of the standard series keyways before ordering.

Available finishes are 626 satin chrome, 606 satin brass, 605 bright brass, 625 bright chrome, 613 oil-rubbed bronze, 613E, and 613. The finish on the replacement cylinder should match the existing cylinder and the hardware finish visible on the door face. For key blanks compatible with the Yale PARA, GA through GH, SA through SH, and TA through TH keyway series, the key blanks catalog covers the available options.
