Schlage B610-046 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage B610-046 tailpiece and retainer used for?
The B610-046 is a replacement tailpiece and retainer for the Schlage B662 deadbolt. The tailpiece is the flat blade that runs from the back of the cylinder through the bolt mechanism and turns the deadbolt when the key is rotated; the retainer holds it in place. It is a service part, not a complete lock, so you are ordering it to repair an existing B662 rather than to install a new deadbolt.
2) Will the Schlage B610-046 tailpiece work on any Schlage deadbolt?
No. The B610-046 tailpiece and retainer is specified for the Schlage B662. Tailpiece length and blade shape vary by deadbolt model and by door thickness, so pulling this part into a different B-series body is not a safe assumption. Check the deadbolt you are servicing is a B662 before you order.
3) I need to rekey a Schlage B662 deadbolt, not repair it. Is this the part?
No. The B610-046 covers the tailpiece and its retainer only, which is the drive linkage between the cylinder and the bolt. Rekeying needs a cylinder, plug, or pin kit in the correct keyway. Order this part when the tailpiece is bent, worn, or missing and the key turns without throwing the bolt.
4) Is the Schlage B610-046 a complete deadbolt or just a component?
Just a component. It is a two-piece service item, tailpiece plus retainer, for the Schlage B662 deadbolt. There is no bolt, cylinder, strike, or mounting screw pack included, so if you are replacing a full deadbolt on an opening you need a complete B662 lockset instead.
5) Can a property manager keep the Schlage B610-046 as a stocked repair item across a building?
It makes sense as a bin part only where your doors are standardized on the Schlage B662 deadbolt, since that is the lock this tailpiece and retainer is called out for. If the building runs a mix of Schlage deadbolt models, stock by model rather than assuming one tailpiece covers the fleet.
