Falcon Q330168 Small Format Tailpiece for Levers

Product Description

The FALCON Q330168 is a small format tailpiece designed for use with lever-style lock cylinders. This component serves as the mechanical link between the key cylinder and the lock's cam or actuator, transmitting rotational force to retract the latch or bolt when the key is turned. It is a precision replacement part used in commercial and institutional door hardware applications. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and facility maintenance technicians work with this type of component during cylinder replacements, re-keying operations, and lock servicing.

This tailpiece is suited for small format interchangeable core (SFIC) or standard small format cylinder installations in lever locksets. It is appropriate for light commercial and institutional environments where Falcon-brand lever hardware is deployed, including offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit residential buildings. This part is typically sourced when an existing tailpiece is damaged, worn, or missing during a cylinder service or lock rebuild.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed locksmiths or qualified door hardware technicians. Before servicing, ensure the door is secured in an open position and that the lock is depressurized of any spring tension. The tailpiece must be seated fully and oriented correctly within the cylinder tail chamber before the cylinder is reinstalled to ensure proper latch actuation. Verify correct tailpiece orientation and engagement with the cam or actuator during reassembly.
