Medeco CT-F38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Medeco CT-F38 tailpiece work with Schlage locks?
Yes. The CT-F38 is built for Schlage lock platforms, so a Medeco cylinder fitted with it engages a compatible Schlage lock body correctly. Confirm which Schlage configuration you have, since tailpieces are specific to the lock family they serve.
2) What does the Medeco CT-F38 tailpiece actually do in a lock?
The CT-F38 is the tailpiece that links a Medeco cylinder to the lock body. It transmits the rotation of the plug into the lock mechanism so the bolt or latch retracts. Without the correct tailpiece the cylinder will turn but nothing in the lock moves.
3) Is the CT-F38 tailpiece a genuine Medeco part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Medeco accessory, part of Medeco's own parts and accessories line. For a locksmith rekeying or swapping a Medeco cylinder into a Schlage lock, that matters because the tailpiece has to match the cam and plug geometry of the Medeco cylinder exactly.
4) Can I use the CT-F38 to repair an existing Schlage installation without changing the lock?
That is exactly its purpose. Medeco classifies the CT-F38 as a replacement part, meant to drop into an existing Schlage-compatible installation during service or repair so the door does not have to come apart beyond the cylinder.
5) Does the CT-F38 come with a Medeco cylinder?
No. The CT-F38 is sold as the tailpiece alone, a replacement part for mechanical lock service. You supply the Medeco cylinder and the Schlage lock body it goes into.
6) I manage a property with mixed Schlage hardware. Can I standardize on the CT-F38 tailpiece across all of them?
Only where the openings use Schlage lock bodies that this tailpiece serves. The CT-F38 is Schlage-specific, so doors running other lock brands need the tailpiece matched to that brand instead. Check the lock body on each opening before buying in quantity.
7) Is the Medeco CT-F38 tailpiece suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial part. Medeco lists the CT-F38 for commercial mechanical lock service, and it is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, government and municipal buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential properties.
