Schlage C603-524 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage C603-524 tailpiece used for on a D Series knob lock?
It is the cylinder tailpiece for Schlage D Series commercial knob locks. The tailpiece is the flat bar that runs off the back of the key cylinder and transfers the key turn into the lock chassis to retract the latch. It is a replacement part, not a complete cylinder or lockset, so you order it when the tailpiece itself is bent, worn, or missing after a cylinder swap.
2) Will this Schlage tailpiece work on an ND Series or L Series mortise lock?
No. The C603-524 is specified for Schlage D Series cylindrical knob locks. ND Series levers and L Series mortise locks use their own cylinder and tailpiece arrangements, and a D Series tailpiece is the wrong length and engagement for them. Confirm the lock you are servicing is a D Series knob before ordering.
3) Is the Schlage C603-524 a complete key cylinder or just the tailpiece?
Just the tailpiece. The C603-524 is the drive bar alone, sold as a Schlage D Series repair part. If the plug or the whole cylinder is the problem, you need a D Series knob cylinder instead, and you would then key it to your existing system separately.
4) How do I order the Schlage D Series knob cylinder tailpiece, and is there more than one version?
The part is ordered as Schlage Commercial C603-524, and it is supplied under model C603-098. That is the only configuration, so there is no finish, handing, or length choice to make on this one. Tailpieces are a steel functional part behind the cylinder, so finish does not come into it.
5) I manage a building with Schlage D Series knobs on every door. Can I stock this one tailpiece for all of them?
For D Series knob locks, yes. This is a single-configuration part for that family, so one item covers the D Series knob openings in your building rather than needing a different tailpiece per door. If any of your openings are lever locks or mortise locks, those are a different family and need their own parts.
