Falcon Q330169 Small Format Tailpiece

Product Description

The FALCON Q330169 is a small format tailpiece designed for use with interchangeable core lock systems. The tailpiece serves as the mechanical link between the lock core and the locking mechanism, transmitting rotational force from the key turn to actuate the bolt or latch. At 4 inches in length and 0.1 inches in height, this compact component is engineered to fit within the tight tolerances of small format interchangeable core (SFIC) hardware. Installation and service are typically handled by licensed locksmiths, facilities maintenance technicians, or security hardware professionals.

This tailpiece is suited for commercial and institutional door hardware applications where small format interchangeable core systems are deployed. SFIC systems are common in schools, hospitals, government buildings, and multi-tenant commercial facilities where rapid re-keying without a locksmith is a maintenance priority. The Q330169 is sold as a single unit and is intended as a replacement or spare component within compatible FALCON lock assemblies.
