Medeco CT-Y52 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Medeco CT-Y52 and what does it actually do in a lock?
The CT-Y52 is a cylinder tailpiece, the small driven bar that transfers rotation from the back of a Medeco cylinder into the lock body. It is a genuine Medeco replacement part built for Schlage lockset applications, so the cylinder engages the lock chassis and turns it the way it did from the factory. If your Medeco cylinder turns with a key but the lock does nothing, a worn or wrong tailpiece is usually what you are chasing.
2) Will the Medeco CT-Y52 tailpiece work on my Schlage locks?
Yes, the CT-Y52 is made specifically for Schlage lockset applications, pairing a Medeco cylinder to the Schlage lock body. It is the Medeco-specified tailpiece for that combination, not a universal blank you cut down. If your cylinders are Medeco and your locks are Schlage, this is the matching part.
3) Do I have to replace the whole Medeco cylinder, or can I just swap the tailpiece?
Just the tailpiece, in most cases. The CT-Y52 is sold as a direct drop-in replacement part, so a locksmith servicing a Medeco cylinder in a Schlage lock can change the tailpiece alone rather than pulling and rekeying a complete cylinder. That keeps the existing keying intact and cuts the downtime on the opening.
4) Does the CT-Y52 come with a Medeco cylinder or any keys?
No. The CT-Y52 is the tailpiece only, catalogued by Medeco as a replacement part. The cylinder, keys, and any mounting screws for the lock come separately, so order the cylinder itself if you are building a new opening rather than servicing one.
5) Is the CT-Y52 tailpiece meant for commercial locks or residential ones?
Commercial. Medeco lists the CT-Y52 as a commercial-grade part, built for offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant properties running commercial Schlage locksets with Medeco high-security cylinders.
6) Is it worth using a genuine Medeco tailpiece instead of a generic one?
For a Medeco high-security cylinder, yes. The CT-Y52 is an authentic Medeco component held to the tolerances the cylinder was built around, so torque transfer between cylinder and lock body stays consistent. A loose or mis-dimensioned aftermarket tailpiece is the common cause of a cylinder that spins but does not retract the latch reliably.
7) I am standardizing a building on Medeco cylinders in Schlage hardware. Should I stock the CT-Y52?
It is the right stocking item for that program. Any facility running Medeco cylinders inside Schlage locksets needs the matching tailpiece on hand for service calls, and the CT-Y52 is the Medeco part for that pairing. Keeping a few in the shop means a worn tailpiece does not turn into an emergency cylinder order.
