Need to get Sargent Pyramid rekeyed or keys

Postby OrMeanGene » 30 Mar 2017 13:01

I bought a bunch of Sargent IC cores. Theres 33 pyramid and 3 regular sargent. They are all pinned up, but have 0 keys. Are there options to get them all rekeyed? I was hoping to get 2 keys each. I got someone who can pin them and cut keys, but has no blanks. Since they restricted. If anyone is familiar or even able to do? Or another key that works in its place.

First I d like to let you know that your cores are made by Corbin Russwin rather than Sargent. There's a big difference between the two!
Now, the Corbin Pyrmaid cylinders you have use a special pin kit made just for them. Maybe you could use universal pins in them, but I have never worked on such cores, so I couldn't tell you. Keyblank wise, good luck finding any... your only avenue of acquiring them would probably be eBay. As far as the regular cores go, I see a 59D2 keyway, so if they're all that, then keys will be easy to get for them. Universal pins work OK in those cores, but they're not quite as smooth and long lasting as the originals.

Check out Corbin's cylinder manual and Pyramid manual when you get a chance. They're very valuable resources. And Glenn over at Corbin tech support has been really helpful when I've needed extra info.

Good luck in your endeavour!

Thanks RedE. I keep calling them sargent after being corrected a few times lol. I dont know why its stuck in my head... I sent an email to my area Assa distributor and he was looking into it also. They really need to have something in place for locks that are used. They all work, so i can still pick on at least. I just prefer to put in a padlock or something.

unfortunately the Pyramid is a factory restricted system. The regular cores can be easily rekeyed though.
Are the empty housings LFIC or SFIC?
