Why did my T511 suddenly stop working and the key just spins and will not retract the latch?

There are two possible issues that would cause a key to spin and not retract the latch or unlock the lever.  Review the following:

  • Check to make sure the correct tailpiece is installed and undamaged.
  • Chassis built prior to September 2010 may have a defective keyspindle.  Replace as needed.
