Solid Brass Mortise Cylinder
The Kaba Group 7185YA1-03 is a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder machined from solid brass bar stock to OEM specifications. It uses a Yale YA1 keyway and a standard number one cam, making it a direct replacement for many existing mortise lock bodies. The cylinder is keyed different out of the box.
Polished Brass Finish and Threading
A US3 polished brass finish protects the solid brass body in both indoor and outdoor installations. The cylinder face measures 1.360 inches (34.5mm) in diameter and the threads are 1.150 x 32 UNS, matching common mortise lock preparations.
Five Pin Tumbler and Cam Compatibility
The five pin tumbler mechanism works with the supplied Yale YA1 keyway and accepts the standard cam included. Other compatible cams can be substituted if the application requires a different cam profile. Buyers who need a keyed alike set or a different keyway will need a separate cylinder.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1.150 x 32 UNS mortise cylinder and which step is often missed?
Thread the 1-1/8" cylinder into the mortise lock until the 1.360" face seats flush, then tighten the set screw through the lock body to lock the Standard Cam #1 in place — skipping the set screw lets the cylinder spin.
What maintenance will the solid brass Yale YA1 cylinder need over time?
Lubricate the 5 pin tumbler mechanism annually with dry graphite powder; the polished brass finish can be cleaned with a soft cloth and brass polish if tarnish appears.
What is the first limitation that appears during heavy daily use of this mortise cylinder?
The 5 pin tumbler Yale YA1 keyway wears faster than the solid brass body, leading to key sticking or misalignment before the threads or cam show fatigue.
