Ashland cylinders and tail pieces are specialized hardware parts designed for use in entry door locking systems. These components play a vital role in connecting the lock cylinder to the internal latch mechanism, allowing for smooth engagement and reliable security. Commonly found on residential and light commercial doors, Ashland tail pieces and cylinders are relied upon for their precise fit and dependable operation.

Key Functions and Use Cases

An Ashland tail piece acts as the crucial linkage between the exterior key cylinder and the interior locking components. When you turn your key, the tail piece transmits that motion through the door to activate or release the deadbolt or latch. Properly sized tail pieces are essential for doors with varying thicknesses, especially when upgrading entry hardware or replacing worn components. For property owners and professionals, these parts offer a reliable solution for keeping doors secure and functioning smoothly.

Compatibility and Applications

Ashland cylinders and tail pieces are compatible with many door brands and models that use AmesburyTruth hardware. They are designed to fit standard door thicknesses, most commonly 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch, which are typical for exterior doors in homes and commercial buildings. For doors that are 2-1/4 inch thick, some tail pieces feature a break-off score line, allowing easy modification to fit 1-3/4 inch doors as well. This flexibility helps ensure a precise fit, regardless of your door’s specifications.

  • Fit most doors with 1-3/4 inch or 2-1/4 inch thickness
  • Compatible with Schlage keyways and other common lock brands
  • Designed for use with AmesburyTruth and Ashland-branded entry hardware
  • Break-off tail pieces accommodate unique door measurements

Installation and Replacement Tips

Replacing an Ashland cylinder or tail piece is typically straightforward. When converting a 1-3/4 inch trim set to fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door, be sure to use the correct length of screws and tail piece to ensure proper function. If your hardware uses a break-off tail piece, simply snap or cut it at the scored line to fit thinner doors. Always double-check compatibility with your trim set and lock cylinder, and refer to installation instructions for best results.

Shop essential replacements like the tail piece assembly for 1-3/4 or 2-1/4 inch doors, a cylinder with Schlage key compatibility, or the assembly for a standard 1-3/4 inch door for your next project.
