When replacing the door lock cylinders, how do you get the part that actually turns the lock off? That part doesn't come with the new cylinders.

Are you talking about the tail??

-you have to take the part that turns the lock from the old lock. It is held on by a small spring, so with a needle or something, -force the spring to the rear; then that part can turn 90 degrees and slides out. -have done this to 8 locks.

Mike, Yes the tail. Carl, does the tail go back easily on the new cylinders? I've got a few from the junk yard I can pratice on I suppose.

Thanks

The tail should go on easily

I would say the tail not go back on easily, but after you do a few you get the hang of it.

Thanks Guys.

Cheers.
