Medeco CT-Y71 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Medeco CT-Y71 tailpiece actually do inside the lock?
The CT-Y71 is the tailpiece, not a cylinder or a lock. It sits behind the cylinder and carries the rotation of the plug into the lock body so the latch or bolt actually moves. If a key turns freely but nothing retracts, the tailpiece is the part that has usually failed or been lost, and this is the replacement piece for that job on Falcon hardware.
2) Will the Medeco CT-Y71 work on a Falcon lock?
Yes, Falcon is exactly what the CT-Y71 is built for. Medeco lists it as designed for compatibility with Falcon lock products, so it is the tailpiece to use when you are fitting or servicing a cylinder in Falcon hardware. For other brands, look for the tailpiece keyed to that manufacturer's platform instead; the CT designation changes by lock brand.
3) Do I get a cylinder with the CT-Y71, or just the tailpiece?
Just the tailpiece. The CT-Y71 is a single replacement component, so if you are also replacing the cylinder itself you need to order that separately along with any cam, screws, or retainer your Falcon lock uses. Buyers rekeying a building typically order cylinders in the keyway they are standardizing on and add the matching tailpiece for each one.
4) I am putting Medeco high-security cylinders into existing Falcon locks. Is this the part that makes that swap work?
It is the linking piece for that retrofit. A Medeco cylinder dropped into Falcon hardware still has to drive the Falcon lock body, and the CT-Y71 is the Falcon-specific tailpiece from Medeco's tools, parts and accessories program that handles that interface. Confirm which Falcon lock body you are working on before you order, since tailpiece length and shape vary by lock function.
5) Is the CT-Y71 a commercial part or is it for residential locks?
Commercial. Medeco classifies the CT-Y71 as commercial door hardware, and it is sold as a replacement part for servicing Falcon cylinders in buildings like offices, schools, hospitals, retail, and government facilities where the hardware sees steady traffic.
6) Is there more than one version of the CT-Y71 to choose from?
No options to specify. The CT-Y71 is sold as one part number with no finish, length, or handing choice, so ordering is a matter of quantity only. Locksmiths and MRO shops servicing a run of Falcon openings commonly stock several.
