Falcon 030997-001-30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon 030997-001 tailpiece actually for?
It is the small drive bar that links a cylinder to the lock mechanism inside a Falcon RU/T Series lock set up for standard functions. Specifically, it is the tailpiece geometry needed when the cylinder in that lock is a Sargent 6/10 Line cylinder. Without the correct tailpiece the cylinder turns but the lock does not retract.
2) Will the 030997-001 work if my cylinder is not a Sargent 6/10 Line?
No. The 030997-001 tailpiece is cut for Sargent 6/10 Line cylinders in Falcon RU/T Series standard function locks. A Schlage, Corbin Russwin, or BEST cylinder uses different tailpiece or cam geometry, so you would need the tailpiece matched to that cylinder line instead.
3) If the Sargent 6/10 Line cylinder itself is worn and not just the tailpiece, what cylinder replaces it in a Falcon RU/T Series lock?
The Falcon 030997-001 is only the tailpiece that links the cylinder to the lock in RU/T Series standard function locks, so a failed cylinder needs a cylinder, not this part. For a Sargent-compatible knob or lever cylinder, the Kaba Ilco 1579 Series is built for Sargent applications. If the opening is being changed over to a different keyway family instead, the Kaba Ilco 1599 is a key-in-knob replacement cylinder and the Kaba Ilco 1539 Series is a universal key-in-knob/lever cylinder.
4) Does the 030997-001 fit Falcon RU/T locks with non-standard functions?
It is specified for standard function configurations of the RU/T Series. Special or non-standard functions in that family use different tailpiece lengths, so match the part to the lock function you actually have before installing.
5) Is this a genuine Falcon part or an aftermarket substitute?
Genuine Falcon OEM, model 030997-001-30. That matters on a tailpiece because the length and drive shape are what keep the cylinder-to-lock interface within the original tolerance.
6) Do I have to modify the lock or door to install this tailpiece?
No modification. It is a drop-in replacement that restores lock function without changes to the existing hardware assembly, so it is a bench or in-door swap once the cylinder is out.
7) I need a whole cylinder for a Sargent knob or lever lock, not just a tailpiece. What should I look at?
A tailpiece alone will not help if the cylinder itself is worn or you are rekeying to a different keyway. For Sargent knob and lever applications, the Kaba Ilco 1579 Series knob and lever cylinder is made for Sargent. Order the 030997-001 only when the cylinder is good and the tailpiece is the failed or mismatched piece.
8) Can I standardize a building on one cylinder line instead of matching tailpieces lock by lock?
Yes, and that is often the cleaner fix across a fleet of doors. Interchangeable core systems let you pull and swap cores without touching the lock internals, for example BEST 1C Series 5-pin cores or the 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder. Going that route replaces the mix-and-match tailpiece problem with one keying platform; sticking with the existing Sargent 6/10 Line cylinders means keeping the matched Falcon tailpiece on hand as a spare.
9) Does the 030997-001 include a cylinder or keys?
No. It is the tailpiece only, a replacement part for the RU/T Series lock. The Sargent 6/10 Line cylinder and its keys are ordered separately.
10) Is a Schlage 20-021 or 20-022 rim cylinder tailpiece the same thing as a Falcon 030997-001?
No. The Falcon 030997-001 is a standalone replacement tailpiece for Falcon RU/T Series standard function locks used with Sargent 6/10 Line cylinders. The Schlage 20-021 and 20-022 are complete 6-pin rim cylinders supplied with two keys, differing from each other in tailpiece cam orientation - 20-021 vertical, 20-022 horizontal - and they mount as rim cylinders rather than serving as a loose part inside an RU/T lock.
11) We want to standardize the building on interchangeable cores instead of keeping Sargent cylinders in the RU/T locks. What do we look at?
Standardizing on interchangeable cores moves the decision away from the Falcon 030997-001, which exists to interface a Sargent 6/10 Line cylinder with an RU/T Series standard function lock. For small-format cores, BEST offers the 1C Series standard 5-pin core, the Peaks 1CB 150 Series interchangeable core cylinder, and the 1CDF drill resistant patented 7-pin brass 150 Series core. For full-size interchangeable core openings, the Schlage 20-057 is a 6-pin FSIC rim cylinder with a convertible tailpiece cam and the 20-057-C is an FSIC core in C keyway, 643E Aged Bronze.
12) Our lock is a mortise lock, not an RU/T bored lock - what cylinder should we be ordering?
A mortise lock does not use the Falcon 030997-001, which is a tailpiece for RU/T Series standard function locks. Mortise cylinders are specified by length and cam: the Corbin Russwin 1000 Grade 1 Series mortise cylinder comes in 1-1/2 inch length with an A02 straight cam, the 1070 Grade 1 Series is a 1-1/4 inch 6-pin mortise housing with an A01 cloverleaf cam, and the 1080 Grade 1 Series is a 1-1/2 inch 6-pin LFIC mortise cylinder for Schlage L9000 mortise locks with an A01 cam. The Detex MC65 is a 1-1/8 inch 6-pin mortise cylinder in Schlage C keyway, and the Adams Rite 4036 is a Grade 1 five-pin mortise cylinder.
13) Is this tailpiece rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It is a mechanical lock replacement part built for commercial door hardware, and it is used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, government buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential properties.
14) Are there other cylinders sold with a tailpiece already fitted, the way the Falcon 030997-001 is matched to the lock?
Yes, several cylinders ship with a specified tailpiece rather than needing a separate part like the Falcon 030997-001, which is supplied on its own for RU/T Series standard function locks using Sargent 6/10 Line cylinders. The Corbin Russwin 3070 is a 6-pin rim cylinder housing with a 1-7/8 inch tailpiece, and the Medeco 1065244 is a 5-pin lazy motion rim type cylinder supplied with an Emtek tailpiece. Where the retrofit target matters more than the tailpiece length, the Medeco 1012040 is a 6-pin lazy motion rim cylinder for Kwikset single cylinder deadbolts and the Medeco 1065140 is a 5-pin retrofit cylinder for the Arrow JL interconnected lock and Emtek handleset and deadbolt outside cylinder.
15) The 030997-001 is a commercial part - what is the comparable for a residential handleset or deadbolt?
The Falcon 030997-001 is a commercial replacement part for RU/T Series locks. For residential-style handlesets and deadbolts, the Medeco 1075127 is a 5-pin rim type lazy motion single cylinder for handlesets and deadbolts, the Kaba Ilco 1549 Series is a key-in-deadbolt cylinder, and the Emtek CY4 cylinder is sold each for Emtek trim.
