Medeco CT-V03 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Medeco CT-V03 and what does a tailpiece actually do in a lock?
The CT-V03 is a cylinder tailpiece from Medeco, made for use with Falcon lock hardware. The tailpiece is the flat metal bar that runs off the back of the cylinder and transfers the turning motion of the key into the lock body so the latch or bolt retracts. Without the correct tailpiece profile the key turns but the lock does nothing.
2) Will a Medeco CT-V03 tailpiece work on a Schlage or Yale lock body?
No. The CT-V03 is cut for Falcon lock hardware, and tailpiece length and profile are specific to the lock body they drive. If you are retrofitting a Medeco cylinder into a Schlage, Yale, or other manufacturer's lock, you need the tailpiece Medeco lists for that brand, not the V03.
3) I am putting a Medeco cylinder into an existing Falcon lock. Do I need to buy the tailpiece separately?
Usually yes. Medeco cylinders are commonly supplied without the brand-specific tailpiece, and the CT-V03 is the part that adapts the cylinder to Falcon hardware. It is sold as a replacement part on its own, so order it alongside the cylinder if the lock body is Falcon.
4) Does installing the CT-V03 require drilling or modifying the Falcon lock?
No modification. It goes in as a drop-in replacement to restore original function on compatible Falcon lock assemblies. The tailpiece mounts to the back of the cylinder and drops into the existing lock prep.
5) My key turns in the Falcon lock but the latch will not retract. Is a tailpiece the fix?
That is the classic tailpiece symptom. If the cylinder rotates freely but nothing moves in the lock body, the tailpiece is usually bent, sheared, or the wrong one for the lock. On a Falcon lock running a Medeco cylinder, the CT-V03 is the correct replacement to restore the torque transfer from cylinder to lock mechanism.
6) Can I standardize a building on Medeco cylinders if the existing lock bodies are Falcon?
Yes, and the CT-V03 is what makes that work. You keep the Falcon lock bodies in the doors and swap in Medeco cylinders with the Falcon-specific tailpiece, so a facility can move to a Medeco keyway and keying system without replacing the locksets themselves.
7) Is the Medeco CT-V03 suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential part?
It is classed as commercial. Medeco lists the CT-V03 as a commercial-grade replacement part, and the typical uses are offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential.
