Schlage Commercial B220001 Rim Cylinder Tailpiece Driver

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL B220001 is an interchangeable rim cylinder tailpiece and driver designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. This component connects the rim cylinder to the locking mechanism, transmitting rotational force from the key turn to the lock body. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians during cylinder replacement or rekeying service. Key dimensions are 2.45 inches in length and 0.4 inches in both width and height, making it a compact but critical mechanical linkage in rim-mounted lock assemblies.

This tailpiece and driver is suited for commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential applications where interchangeable core or standard rim cylinder systems are in use. It is designed for installation in rim exit devices and rim-mounted cylinders on exterior or interior doors requiring controlled access. The part is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for service calls involving cylinder swap-outs or driver replacement due to wear.
