Why does my key only retract the latch on an ALX70 function?

Incorrect tailpiece being used. 

If the straight tailpiece (ALX50/53/80) is used on the ALX70, the key will only retract the latch instead of locking and unlocking the lock.



With the exception of the SFIC cores from almost all manufacturers, the ALX70 tailpiece is not available for any non-Schlage cylinders or cores. Therefore, the ALX70 can only be used with a Schlage KIL cylinder or Schlage Full Size IC (FSIC).
