Medeco CT-Y31 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Medeco CT-Y31 tailpiece actually do in the lock?
The CT-Y31 is the tailpiece, not the cylinder or the lock. It is the drive link that sits on the back of a Medeco mechanical lock cylinder and carries the rotation of the plug into the lockbody so the latch or bolt actuates. If your key turns but nothing moves, a sheared or wrong-length tailpiece is the usual cause, and this is the replacement part for that job.
2) Is the Medeco CT-Y31 handed, and does it matter which way my door swings?
It is handed. The CT-Y31 is the dexter (right-hand) configuration, so it has to match the orientation of the cylinder-to-lockbody engagement on your opening. Ordering the wrong hand is the most common mistake on a tailpiece: it will physically go on, but the drive geometry will be wrong and the lock will not operate correctly. Confirm the hand of the existing part before you order.
3) Will a Dexter tailpiece work in a Medeco cylinder, or do I need a Medeco part?
The CT-Y31 is a genuine Medeco part built for Dexter applications, and it is the correct piece for compatible Medeco mechanical lock cylinders. A generic tailpiece may be close on length but off on the drive tang or the mounting, and that mismatch is what strips under load. If you are servicing an existing Medeco cylinder, use the Medeco-specified replacement.
4) Do I get a new cylinder with the CT-Y31, or just the tailpiece?
Just the tailpiece. The CT-Y31 is a replacement part, so it ships as the tailpiece alone with no cylinder, no plug, no keys and no cams. If your cylinder itself is worn or you are rekeying to a new keyway, you need a Medeco cylinder ordered separately and the tailpiece to suit it.
5) Is there more than one version of the Medeco CT-Y31 to choose from?
No. The CT-Y31 is a single part number with one configuration, the dexter version. There are no finish, length or hand options to select on it, so the only decision is whether dexter is the correct hand for your cylinder. If it is not, you need the opposite-hand Medeco tailpiece instead.
6) Is this a residential-grade part or is it rated for commercial traffic?
Commercial. Medeco classifies the CT-Y31 within its commercial mechanical lock parts line, which is why it turns up in office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities and multi-tenant residential with commercial-grade hardware. For a property manager standardizing on Medeco across a building, it is the same part whether the door is a tenant entry or a back-of-house opening.
