The cylinder design is rather different. The one you sent the link,
isn't even near close to the design of the Schlage F line cylinder.

I was afraid of that. I assume something like this:

will fit the deadbolts but be too long for the F series knobs I have.

Hmm. That must be what I have (early 90's?). So in theory I could
move
some of those to where I want an E keyway (after replacing the
cylinder)
and replace them with newer F series. Everything would still look
pretty
much the same without having to upgrade all the knobs. Are 5-pin E
keyway
cylinders available?

Be careful these aftermarket cylinders have only a limited application.

Early 90's is probably too new. it was only the first generation of the F
lock that would take a std. cyl.

But let's see if I can be of help. Exactly what are you trying to
accomplish? To hey your house the same as your office or something?

I have two adjacent houses and (small attached) office master-keyed to my
liking. It's all residential hardware with C keyways. I just bought another
house. I would like to make things slightly harder by using E or CE keyways
there with an H key for my master, but only if it is a very low-effort project.
Doing anything more interesting (even going to 6 pins) creates a cascade of
work...

Don,

You are making life difficult for yourself.

By my count you have a masterkey system with 4 different keys.

This is very much doable with a standard 5 pin system.

The need for multiple keyways comes in in much larger systems like multi
story hotels and the like.

I will give you a hint, if you keep your eyes open on e-bay, you might score
some nice Schlage A series locks, and those will outlive you. The F series
is junk.
