CYLINDER LOCK ASSEMBLY WITH A TAILPIECE ROTATIONALLY COUPLEDTO THE CYLINDER PLUG

摘要

The present application relates to lock assemblies that provide a secondar y coupling point, utilizing an anti-rotation pin or extended tailpiece leg or other method, which rotationally couples the tailpiece to the cylinder plug, there by preventing rotation of the tailpiece independently of the cylinder plug. Therefore, a tailpiece within a bolt cam or other actuator used to withdraw a bolt or unlock a lockset cannot be rotated after the primary means for connecting the tail piece to the cylinder plug has been forcibly removed, severed, or destroyed.
