Replacement Cam for Adams Rite Mortise Cylinders

The Ilco 863A cam is a satin-nickel component designed to fit Adams Rite type mortise cylinders. It functions as the rotating tailpiece that transfers key motion to the lock bolt. The part is supplied new and sold individually in a box.

For Maintenance on Existing Adams Rite Hardware

This cam suits locksmiths and property managers replacing a worn or broken tailpiece on an Adams Rite mortise lockset. It will not work with cylinders that use a different cam profile, so installers needing a standard cloverleaf, Schlage or Sargent tailpiece should look elsewhere.

Adams Rite Cam Profile

The defining specification is the Adams Rite cam shape, identified by model number 863A. Only cylinders engineered for this exact profile will accept the cam, making the profile the single detail that determines compatibility.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 863A cam into an Adams Rite mortise cylinder, and which step is commonly missed?

Remove the cylinder, retract the old cam, insert the 863A cam so its tailpiece engages the bolt slot, then secure the set screw; the step often missed is verifying the cam rotates freely before reinstalling the cylinder.

What maintenance or replacement will the 863A cam need over time?

Periodic lubrication with a dry graphite powder keeps the cam moving smoothly; replace the cam if the tailpiece wears down or the set screw strips, which prevents the bolt from throwing.

What is the first limit that appears when the 863A cam sees heavy daily use?

The set screw can loosen under repeated torque, allowing the cam to slip and the bolt to fail to engage; checking screw tightness monthly prevents this failure mode.
