Accentra (Yale) 2197 626 LFIC Mortise Cylinder w/Core, 2160 Cam, 1-11/16", 7-Pin

The Accentra (Yale) 2197 is a Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) mortise cylinder in 626 satin chrome, with a 1-11/16-inch body length, 7-pin core configuration, and a 2160 cam. Also referenced in parts ordering and distributor catalog systems as dl 2197, this cylinder ships complete with the LFIC core included. The 2197 is used in mortise lock bodies requiring the Yale LFIC format at the 1-11/16-inch body depth. SKU: 2197.

What "with core" means on the 2197 and how it differs from the 2196 LFIC mortise cylinder

The 2197 ships as a complete assembly: the LFIC mortise cylinder housing and the LFIC core are included together. This is the key ordering difference between the 2197 and the 2196. The 2196 is the LFIC mortise cylinder housing shipped less core, requiring the buyer to source and install a compatible IC core separately. The 2197 is the complete assembly shipped ready to install with the core already included at the time of delivery.

The 7-pin core included with the 2197 provides a higher key change capacity than the 6-pin configuration. Seven-pin cores are the correct specification for facilities with complex master key hierarchies, large numbers of individual key change positions, or multiple levels of master and grand master key authority. For the 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder housing without core, the Accentra Yale 2196 LFIC mortise cylinder is 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 and why it is specified on the 2197

The 2160 is the factory-standard cam for the 2197 mortise cylinder. The cam sits at the rear of the cylinder body and converts key rotation into mechanical movement within the mortise lock case. When the key operates the IC core plug, the cam rotates and engages the lock case mechanism to throw or retract the latch and deadbolt according to the mortise lock function.

The 2160 cam is the Yale standard cam compatible with Yale and Sargent mortise lock cases and a number of other commercial mortise lock bodies that use the same cam pocket geometry. The "yale 2160 cam" search query appearing in GSC confirms this cam is a recognized specification detail that buyers check when confirming cylinder compatibility with their mortise lock case. Confirm that the mortise lock case accepts the 2160 cam before ordering. For mortise locks at American Locksets that accept the Yale LFIC cylinder format, the mortise locks catalog covers the available range.

How the dl 2197 reference maps to this product and what body length means for installation

The "dl" prefix appearing in searches for this product is a distributor catalog reference format used in some dealer inventory and ordering systems, not a separate product line. Any reference to dl 2197 refers to the same Accentra (Yale) 2197 LFIC mortise cylinder with 2160 cam. The model number, body length, cam specification, and LFIC core format all carry forward from the original Yale catalog under the Accentra brand name.

The 1-11/16-inch body length (the distance from the cylinder face to the back of the cam) must match the cylinder pocket depth in the mortise lock body. This is a longer body than the 2196, which uses a 1-1/2-inch body. Confirm the correct body length with the mortise lock manufacturer's specification before ordering. For Yale LFIC cores ordered separately for other applications, the Accentra Yale 1220 7-pin LFIC core is stocked. For the full IC core range, browse the IC cores catalog.

Core included. Confirm body length (1-11/16 inch) and cam type (2160) match the mortise lock before ordering. Also referenced as: dl 2197. Finish: 626 satin chrome.
