Arrow 1001GL-44 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Arrow 1001GL-44 part, and what does it do?
The 1001GL-44 is a replacement tailpiece for Arrow GL Series cylinders. The tailpiece is the flat bar that carries the key rotation from the cylinder plug back into the lock mechanism, so when it wears, shears, or gets bent, the key turns but the lock does nothing. Swapping in this piece restores that mechanical link. It is a genuine Arrow parts-program component, not a universal tailpiece.
2) Will the Arrow 1001GL-44 tailpiece fit any Arrow cylinder, or only GL Series?
GL Series only. Arrow built the 1001GL-44 to GL Series cylinder geometry, and tailpiece length and tip shape are what decide whether the lock body picks it up. If the cylinder on your door is another Arrow family, this bar will not drive it correctly. Confirm the cylinder is GL Series before you order.
3) My key turns but the bolt will not move. Do I need a whole new cylinder or just a tailpiece?
If the plug rotates freely with the key and nothing happens at the bolt, the tailpiece is the usual culprit, not the cylinder. On an Arrow GL Series cylinder the 1001GL-44 tailpiece is the repair part for that failure, and it is far less work than rekeying a new cylinder into the existing key system. If the plug itself binds or the key will not rotate, the problem is in the cylinder and a tailpiece will not fix it.
4) Will a Kaba Ilco universal key-in-knob cylinder work instead of ordering the Arrow 1001GL-44 tailpiece?
No, they solve different problems. The Arrow 1001GL-44 is a replacement tailpiece only, a genuine Arrow part matched to GL Series cylinder geometry to restore lock function without modifying the cylinder. The Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a complete key-in-knob/lever universal cylinder, and the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a complete key-in-knob replacement cylinder. If the GL Series cylinder itself is sound and only the tailpiece is damaged or wrong length, the 1001GL-44 is the part; if the cylinder is being swapped out entirely, a full cylinder like the 1539 or 1599 is the direction to go.
5) I need a retrofit cylinder for an Arrow lock, not just a tailpiece. What is available?
For an Arrow JL interconnected lock, the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder built for that application and also fits Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder positions. The Arrow 1001GL-44 is a different kind of part - it is only the tailpiece for Arrow GL Series cylinders, sold as a commercial-grade replacement component. Choose the 1065140 when you are replacing the keyed cylinder itself on a JL interconnected lock, and the 1001GL-44 when the GL Series cylinder stays in place.
6) My exit device rim cylinder has a broken tailpiece - is the Arrow 1001GL-44 the right replacement?
Only if the cylinder is an Arrow GL Series; the 1001GL-44 tailpiece geometry is matched to GL Series cylinders specifically. For a rim application on a different platform, the cylinder is normally replaced complete: the Schlage 20-021 is a 6-pin rim cylinder with a vertical tailpiece cam, the Schlage 20-022 is the same rim cylinder with a horizontal tailpiece cam, and the Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing supplied with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece. The vertical versus horizontal cam choice on the Schlage pair is driven by the exit device you are feeding.
7) Is this a drop-in repair or does the cylinder need modification?
Drop-in. Because it is the OEM Arrow component made to original factory specification, the 1001GL-44 installs on a GL Series cylinder without filing, cutting, or shimming. A locksmith pulls the cylinder, replaces the tailpiece, and reinstalls.
8) Does buying the 1001GL-44 tailpiece mean I have to rekey anything?
No. The tailpiece carries no pinning or keyway, so replacing it leaves the existing key bitting and any master key system on that GL Series cylinder untouched. That is the advantage over replacing the cylinder outright, which would have to be keyed back into your system.
9) What should I order if the mortise cylinder is the problem rather than the tailpiece?
Mortise cylinders drive a cam rather than a tailpiece, so the Arrow 1001GL-44 does not apply. The Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinder is 1-1/2 inch with an A02 straight cam, the Corbin Russwin 1070 Grade 1 Series housing is 1-1/4 inch 6-pin with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder rated to a 1/2 inch minimum door thickness. Match the cam to the mortise lock body before ordering.
10) We are standardizing our buildings on interchangeable core - does that change whether we buy the Arrow 1001GL-44?
Yes. The 1001GL-44 is a maintenance part that keeps an existing Arrow GL Series cylinder in service. A move to interchangeable core replaces the cylinder entirely: the BEST 1C Series is a standard 5-pin cylinder core, the BEST 1CB is a 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, and the BEST 1CDF is a drill resistant patented interchangeable core 7-pin brass 150 Series core. Schlage's 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam if you want full size interchangeable core on rim devices. Keep the 1001GL-44 on the shelf for openings you are not converting yet.
11) Is there a tailpiece-equipped cylinder comparable to the Arrow 1001GL-44 for handleset and deadbolt work?
For residential-style handleset and deadbolt outside cylinders, the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin rim lazy motion cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, and the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts. Those are complete cylinders with the tailpiece included. The Arrow 1001GL-44 is the tailpiece alone, built for commercial Arrow GL Series cylinders.
12) Will the Arrow 1001GL-44 help on an aluminum storefront narrow stile door?
Not on its own - it is a tailpiece for Arrow GL Series cylinders, not a storefront component. Narrow stile openings are usually served by Adams Rite parts: the 4024 cylinder pull with trim plate mounting and the 4025 five pin tumbler cylinder pull with through-screws both work with the Adams Rite MS1847 deadlock/deadlatch, and the 4026 five pin tumbler cylinder pull is for wood doors with the Adams Rite 5017 deadlock/deadlatch. Identify the lock body in the stile first, then pick the pull that matches it.
13) What looks like a substitute for the Arrow 1001GL-44 but is not?
A dummy cylinder is the most common mix-up. The BEST 12E Series dummy rim cylinder has a 1-5/32 inch diameter and fills a rim prep without operating anything, so it will not restore lock function the way the 1001GL-44 tailpiece does. The Emtek CY4 cylinder is also sold as a single cylinder rather than a tailpiece. The 1001GL-44 is an Arrow parts program component intended as a drop-in tailpiece for GL Series cylinders.
14) Our doors are keyed to a Schlage C or Falcon keyway - does the Arrow 1001GL-44 affect keying?
No. The 1001GL-44 is a tailpiece, so it carries no pins or keyway and does not change how a GL Series cylinder is keyed. Keyway decisions sit with the cylinder: the Detex MC65 is a 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway at 1-1/8 inch, the Falcon A23161-05 G is a key-in-lever cylinder for RU/T Series in 6-pin G keyway shipped keyed different with two cut keys, and the Schlage 20-057-C is a full size interchangeable core in C keyway with a 643E aged bronze finish.
15) Is the Arrow 1001GL-44 a commercial part or for residential locks?
Commercial. Arrow classes the 1001GL-44 as commercial-grade hardware, and it is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government facilities. For a maintenance shop standardized on Arrow GL cylinders, it is a sensible bin item to carry.
16) We run Schlage L9000 mortise locks in part of the portfolio - is there an Arrow-style parts fix or do we buy a cylinder?
For L9000 mortise locks, the Corbin Russwin 1080 Grade 1 Series 1-1/2 inch LFIC mortise cylinder is a 6-pin unit listed for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 Schlage L cam. That is a complete cylinder swap. The Arrow 1001GL-44 route applies only where the hardware is Arrow GL Series and the cylinder body is being kept, since it is an OEM tailpiece maintaining original factory specifications.
17) Is there a substitute if the failing part is a key-in-deadbolt or Sargent knob cylinder rather than an Arrow GL tailpiece?
Yes, those are served by complete cylinders. The Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1579 is a knob and lever cylinder for Sargent, both listed with a deadbolt function. The Arrow 1001GL-44 does not cross to either - it is specific to Arrow GL Series cylinder geometry and is used to restore proper lock function on that platform.
