[@yourlondonlocksmith1697]

Still learning that side lol

[@marciaharper2575]

thank you.

I use bolt cutters to trim the tail piece

[@amarabidali4880]

Plyers and grips works better, those slits are weak points meant to fail from a bending force

[@Sndkq]

Many Thanks 😊

Thanks 🙏🏽

Can you use the tail piece from the old lock as it's cut to size? Or do you need to say you've used all new parts?

[@LocksLondon]

It's easier to cut the new connecting bar than it is to swap connecting bars between cylinders

[@yourlondonlocksmith1697]

I guess you can but you have to remove the c-clip. Like the other comment it’s easier to cut the tail.

[@eoinMB3949]

I replaced the cylinder but now there seems to be "Slack" when the night latch is turned. What could I have done wrong there?

[@zthde]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@yourlondonlocksmith1697]

You’re welcome 🙏🏽

[@livvylaughs6150]

We can’t get the cylinder out as the key broke off in the lock and the screw to remove it is under a piece of metal when we remove the back of the lock itself. Any help?

[@LocksLondon]

Phillips screwdriver, really? The screws are pozidriv not Phillips.
It's not a 'Tail' it's called a 'Connecting Bar' and you should cut the connecting bar with the cylinder mounted in the door with a hacksaw and a pair of pliers, you never copy the length of the cylinder you are removing as they are invariably wrong.

[@yourlondonlocksmith1697]

Thanks 🙏🏽 always interested in hearing other methods.

[@LocksLondon]

@@yourlondonlocksmith1697 you're welcome, not 'another method' what I said is the correct method, but hey I've only been a locksmith since 1983 so what do I know?

[@kurtsmith2547]
