Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a surface bolt instead of a flush bolt?
A surface bolt mounts to the face of the door rather than being mortised into the edge, so it suits an inactive leaf where mortising is not practical or the door cannot be modified. The PDQ 462 uses concealed mounting for added resistance to tampering.

PDQ 462626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to mortise the door edge to install a PDQ 462 surface bolt?
No mortising required. The PDQ 462 mounts to the face of the door, so it works on an inactive leaf you cannot cut into, such as a door you do not want to modify or cannot machine on site. That makes it a practical alternative when a mortised flush bolt is not an option.
2) Does the PDQ 462 come with strikes, or do I have to order them separately?
Top and bottom strikes are supplied with the 462. You get the bolt plus both strikes in the box, so the inactive leaf can be secured at the head and the sill without a separate strike order.
3) What is the difference between the PDQ 462 and PDQ's other surface bolts?
PDQ's surface bolt line covers 8 inch and 12 inch bolts, and the 462 is the 8 inch model that uses concealed anti-vandal mounting. The concealed fasteners are the point of difference: on an opening where the bolt is reachable by the public, the mounting screws are not exposed to be backed out. If you need more reach at the head or sill, the 12 inch bolt is the one to look at instead.
4) Should I use a surface bolt or an automatic flush bolt on the inactive leaf of a pair?
A surface bolt like the PDQ 462 is manual: someone throws it by hand, and it stays thrown until released. It mounts on the door face, so it needs no door prep. An automatic or constant-latching flush bolt is mortised into the door edge and releases as the active leaf operates, which is what fire rated pairs and egress situations usually call for. Pick the surface bolt when the leaf stays locked, hand operation is acceptable, and the door cannot be machined.
5) Will concealed anti-vandal mounting hold up in a school or apartment common area?
That is the reason the 462 exists. With the mounting concealed, the fasteners are not sitting exposed where a tenant or student can take a screwdriver to them, which is the usual failure mode for surface bolts in high-traffic public areas. The standard 8 inch surface bolt without concealed mounting is fine on a back-of-house or staff-only opening.
6) Is the PDQ 462 surface bolt rated for commercial door use?
It is a commercial door hardware item, built for commercial openings rather than residential use. Typical application is the inactive leaf of a pair in a commercial building where that leaf stays bolted and the active leaf carries the lock or exit device.
7) What finish does the PDQ 462 surface bolt come in?
626 Satin Chrome is the only finish offered on the 462, ordered as part number 462626. If the rest of the openings in your building are standardized on satin chrome or brushed nickel-tone trim, it will blend; if you are matching dark bronze or brass hardware, this bolt will not match.
