Medeco CT-F34 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Medeco CT-F34 and what does a tailpiece actually do in a lock?
The CT-F34 is a cylinder tailpiece from Medeco, model CT-F34. The tailpiece is the flat bar that runs off the back of the key cylinder and transfers the key's rotation into the lock body to retract the latch or throw the bolt. Without the correct tailpiece, the cylinder will turn but nothing in the lock moves. It is sold as a replacement part, not a complete cylinder, so it does not include a plug, pins, or keys.
2) Which brand of lock is the Medeco CT-F34 tailpiece made for?
Schlage. The CT-F34 is the tailpiece Medeco specifies when a Medeco cylinder goes into a Schlage lock application, so the cylinder engages and actuates the Schlage lock body correctly. If you are retrofitting a Medeco cylinder into another manufacturer's lock, you need that manufacturer's matching tailpiece instead, not this one.
3) I am a locksmith swapping a Medeco cylinder into a Schlage commercial lockset. Do I need to order the tailpiece separately?
Yes, plan on it. The tailpiece is a distinct component from the cylinder and the CT-F34 is catalogued on its own as a replacement part for Schlage applications. Locksmiths typically stock the tailpiece alongside the cylinder so the cylinder can be adapted to whichever lock body it is going into.
4) Can I use the CT-F34 tailpiece with a Medeco mortise cylinder?
The CT-F34 is specified for Schlage lock applications. Mortise cylinders drive the lock through a cam, not a tailpiece, so a mortise application calls for the correct cam rather than this part. Confirm which style of cylinder you are working with before ordering.
5) I manage a building where every door runs Medeco keyed Schlage locks. Will this one part number work across all of them?
The CT-F34 covers Medeco-equipped Schlage applications, which is why facilities that have standardized on Medeco cylinders in Schlage hardware stock it as a maintenance item. Where a building mixes lock bodies, the tailpiece has to match the specific lock the cylinder goes into, so check each opening rather than assuming one part number covers a mixed fleet.
6) Is the CT-F34 rated for commercial door hardware or only residential?
Commercial. Medeco classifies the CT-F34 as a commercial-grade part, which is what you want on high-cycle openings like office suites, schools, hospitals, and multi-tenant residential buildings running commercial-grade Schlage hardware.
7) Is the Medeco CT-F34 a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Medeco component, sold as an OEM replacement tailpiece. For facilities standardized on Medeco keying, using the factory part keeps the cylinder engagement to the tolerances Medeco built the cylinder around, which matters when a service call is about a cylinder that turns but will not retract.
