Medeco CT-Y75 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Medeco CT-Y75 tailpiece actually do in a lock?
The CT-Y75 is a cylinder tailpiece, the small driven part that links the back of the cylinder to the lock's internal mechanism. Turning the key turns the cylinder plug, the tailpiece transfers that rotation into the lock body, and the latch or bolt retracts. It is sold as a replacement part, so it is what you order when the cylinder and the lock are both fine but the tailpiece is worn, bent, or missing after a cylinder swap.
2) Will the Medeco CT-Y75 tailpiece work with a Russwin lock?
Yes. The CT-Y75 is the Medeco tailpiece specified for Russwin lock systems, so it is the correct choice when you are fitting or servicing a Medeco cylinder in Russwin hardware. Tailpieces are lock-family specific, and a tailpiece cut for another manufacturer's lock will not drive a Russwin mechanism correctly, so match the part to the lock brand rather than reusing whatever came out of a different door.
3) I'm retrofitting a Medeco cylinder into an existing Russwin lock. Do I need a separate tailpiece?
Usually yes. When a Medeco cylinder goes into Russwin hardware, the cylinder needs the tailpiece that matches that lock's drive, and the CT-Y75 is the Russwin-specific Medeco tailpiece. Order it alongside the cylinder rather than after the fact, since the cylinder will not operate the lock without the correct tailpiece in place.
4) Is the CT-Y75 a genuine Medeco part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Medeco component, not a generic substitute. That matters on Medeco cylinders because the tailpiece has to engage the plug and the lock at the tolerances the cylinder was machined to. Locksmiths servicing Medeco-keyed Russwin openings should use the factory part to keep key turn and bolt throw feeling the way it should.
5) Do I have to order anything else with the Medeco CT-Y75 tailpiece?
The CT-Y75 is just the tailpiece. It does not include a cylinder, keys, cam, or mounting screws, so if you are also replacing the cylinder itself you need to order the Medeco cylinder separately and pair it with this tailpiece for the Russwin lock. There is a single ordering configuration for the part, so there are no finish or length options to pick.
6) Is the Medeco CT-Y75 rated for commercial door hardware use?
It is a commercial part. The CT-Y75 is catalogued for commercial rather than residential service and is intended for mechanical lock systems in buildings like offices, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential. For an institutional buyer standardizing on Medeco cylinders in Russwin locks, it is a stock item worth keeping on the shelf for MRO work.
