need single cylinder profile cylinder Schlage C 6 pin

[cledry]

Have a customer who has a masterkey system with Schlage C 6 pin. Two doors have ERA single cylinder profile cylinders in 26D. I can find 5 pin but haven't found 6 pin.

Not sure if I can help, new at this.
Have no idea what "ERA single cylinder profile cylinders in 26D" is.
I got a bunch of Schlage cylinder off of eBay.
One for sure is a 6 pin set up for a master key system(had a key for that one and gutted it because I could not pick it) .
I have one more six pin no key, unpicked.
Do you have picture of what you are looking for???

CalRoyal makes one but they are not expecting stock until September! CES makes one but cannot find a source.

Not what I have.

It has been too long for me to remember if the profile cylinders made by Ilco were six pins or only five.

5 pin and a 6 pin key bottoms out so can't be used even with no last chamber. MK system has a constant in 6th chamber.

Sounds like you either have to wait for the unobtainium to become available OR suggest replacement hardware.

I thought Ilco did make 6-pin profiles but perhaps they were keyed on both sides, would it be possible to adapt units to what you need by using both a double-keyed and a turn-knob to make a 6-pin x turn knob ?

I was just looking at one for a customer and double checked my GMS catalog. Sure enough, they are 5 pin. This is surprising as a lot of commercial grade locks may come with 5 pins set up, but have a 6th chamber for when needed. Even the Abus SC and KW padlocks I stock have an unused 6th chamber. Good luck!

I looked at a double Ilco profile and it is 5 pin.
