Medeco CT-F36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Medeco CT-F36 tailpiece do, and why would I need one?
The CT-F36 is a cylinder tailpiece, the small driver bar that transfers rotation from the back of a Medeco cylinder into the lock body. If a tailpiece is bent, worn, or the wrong one was fitted during a cylinder swap, the key turns but the lock does not operate. Replacing it restores that cylinder to lock engagement without touching the cylinder itself.
2) Will the Medeco CT-F36 tailpiece work in a Schlage lock?
Yes. The CT-F36 is the Medeco tailpiece made to interface with Schlage lock platforms, so a Medeco cylinder fitted into Schlage-based commercial hardware drives correctly through it. It is not a universal tailpiece; if your lock body is another manufacturer's, you need the Medeco tailpiece cut for that platform instead.
3) Is the CT-F36 a genuine Medeco part or an aftermarket copy?
It comes from Medeco's own tools, parts and accessories program, so it is the factory replacement component rather than an aftermarket substitute. That matters on high security cylinder programs where a loose or out-of-tolerance tailpiece is the usual cause of a key that turns without throwing the bolt.
4) Does the CT-F36 come with a cylinder, or is it the tailpiece only?
Tailpiece only. The CT-F36 is a single replacement component for an existing Medeco cylinder installation in Schlage hardware. If you are also replacing the cylinder or rekeying, order the cylinder and any keying separately.
5) Is the CT-F36 tailpiece suitable for commercial door hardware or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The CT-F36 is catalogued for commercial mechanical lock service, the kind of work done in office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities and multi-tenant residential properties running commercial grade locking systems.
6) Do I have to order a size or option for the Medeco CT-F36 tailpiece?
No options to pick. The CT-F36 ships as one configuration, so the model number alone identifies what you get. Locksmiths and facility managers reordering for a Schlage-based Medeco program can quote the CT-F36 designation and nothing else.
