Medeco CT-Y57 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Medeco CT-Y57 tailpiece actually do in a lock?
The CT-Y57 is the tailpiece that links the cylinder plug to the lock mechanism, carrying the rotation from the key into the latch or bolt actuator. Without the right tailpiece the key turns and nothing moves. Medeco sells it as a replacement part for Yale cylinder applications.
2) Will the Medeco CT-Y57 work with a Yale cylinder?
Yes. The CT-Y57 is built specifically for Yale cylinder configurations, which is what the Y in the part number refers to. If you are swapping a Medeco cylinder into Yale-prepped hardware, this is the tailpiece Medeco specifies for that pairing.
3) Do I need a new tailpiece when I replace a cylinder, or can I reuse the old one?
Tailpieces are matched to the cylinder and the lock body, so a cylinder swap is the usual point at which one gets replaced. The CT-Y57 is the genuine Medeco replacement for Yale cylinder work, and using the correct tailpiece is what keeps rotation smooth and the lock actuating consistently.
4) Is the CT-Y57 tailpiece suitable for commercial buildings, or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial part. Medeco lists the CT-Y57 under commercial mechanical lock applications, and it is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, government facilities, retail and hospitality, and warehouse settings where Yale cylinder hardware is in service.
5) Is the Medeco CT-Y57 an aftermarket tailpiece or a factory part?
Factory. It comes from Medeco's own tools, parts and accessories program, not a third-party copy, so tolerances match what the cylinder was built around. That matters for locksmiths who have to keep a high-security installation performing the way it was specified.
6) How many versions of the CT-Y57 do I have to choose from when ordering?
One. The CT-Y57 is a single part with no finish, length, or handing options to specify, so ordering is just a matter of confirming your cylinder is the Yale type it is cut for.
