Frequently Asked Questions
Is TAILBAR-E1 suitable for any lock?
No. It is intended for Lockwood mortice lock setups using compatible turnsnib adapters and Lockwood door furniture that requires an emergency turn and turnsnib configuration.
What door thickness does TAILBAR-E1 suit?
TAILBAR-E1 suits doors from 32 mm to 45 mm thick. If the door is outside this range, a different tailbar length is typically required.
Does this include fixing screws or the turnsnib adapter?
No. This item is supplied as the tailbar and spring only. Turn hardware, adapters, and fixing screws are supplied with the lock or door furniture set (or must be sourced separately if missing).
Additional Information
- Door thickness matters: if the tailbar is too short it may not engage both sides, and if it is too long it can bind or prevent correct operation.
- TAILBAR-E1 is typically used for privacy style turn configurations where turn hardware is fitted on both sides and the tailbar must pass fully through the turnsnib adapter.
- If replacing a missing or damaged tailbar, confirm the exact lock and turn hardware configuration before ordering (single side turn vs turn hardware on both sides uses different tailbar part numbers).
- Some suppliers list these tailbars in trade pack quantities. If you are matching an existing installation, confirm you are ordering the correct quantity for your job.
