Replacement Swivel Spindle

The Progressive 45-20-C is a steel swivel spindle built to replace Corbin Russwin #22 hardware. It fits mortise locks requiring a 9/32 inch square shaft and a solid center for 3/8 inch hubs. The 4-3/4 inch length suits standard door thicknesses in commercial and heavy residential installations. This new component restores two-sided lever operation without replacing the full lock body.

Threaded Interface Limits

Both ends carry 3/8-20 threads per inch, so the spindle only mates with matching threaded lever hubs. It will not engage unthreaded, set-screw or clip-on lever designs common on lighter residential locks. The 20 TPI pitch is fixed; cross-threading occurs if forced into metric or coarser threads. Swivel action compensates for minor door-to-frame misalignment but cannot correct severe warp or hinge sag.

Solid Center Fit

The single 3/8 inch solid center section is the decisive specification: the lock hubs must accept this exact diameter. If the existing hubs are drilled larger, smaller, or tapered, the spindle will not transmit torque and the levers will spin freely. Verify hub bore size before ordering; no adapter bushings are included.
