Tru-Lock® tail pieces are critical hardware components that link the interior thumbturn or exterior key cylinder to the deadbolt or multipoint lock mechanism in your door. When a tail piece wears out, breaks, or is lost during a lock replacement, it can prevent your lock from engaging fully or turning smoothly. These sturdy, precision-fit parts are necessary for restoring both security and ease of operation to entry doors, patio doors, and select window locks using Tru-Lock® systems from AmesburyTruth.
