PDQ GT135LED Classroom / Security w/Red LED Outside Lever Status Indicator

Grade 1 Heavy Duty Commercial Cylindrical Lock

The PDQ GT Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2. PDQ positions it as its general purpose Grade 1 lock for everyday commercial exterior and interior openings, with lever torque resistance of 2,200 lbf-in, three times the BHMA/ANSI standard, and cycle testing to over 3 times BHMA standards.

A heavy duty diecast chassis, machined billet steel spindles and a 13 gauge steel anti-rotation plate on the secure side give the lock its strength. A 2:1 latchbolt throw allows a 41 degree lever rotation, which reduces torque and extends the life of the lock. The GT is non-handed, assembled in Lancaster, PA, and offered in Philadelphia, Boston and Miami lever styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GT strong enough for a busy school or office building, or is the XGT needed?

Is the GT fire rated and ADA compliant?
Yes. The GT is UL 10C listed for 3 hour fire doors (single doors up to 4' x 8') and complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1.

Can the GT be used on hurricane rated openings in Florida?
Yes. It is approved for Florida HVHZ installations under PDQ Product Approval FL 21376, with a design load rating of +/- 70.0 PSF on a 3' x 7' single door.

PDQ GT135LEDBSN626L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the red LED on the PDQ GT135LED classroom lock actually indicate?
The GT135LED is PDQ's classroom/security function with a red LED status indicator on the outside lever, so staff in the corridor can see at a glance whether the outside lever has been locked down. It is an ANSI/BHMA F110 classroom/security function keyed single cylinder lock. The indicator is mechanical status only, not an electronic access control device.
2) Will the GT135LED fit a 1-3/4 inch door with existing 161 cylindrical prep?
Yes. The GT Series drops into standard ANSI A156.115 (161) cylindrical prep and covers doors 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick, preset from the factory for 1-3/4 inch. It mounts with through-door thru-bolting, so if you are pulling a worn cylindrical lever off a 1-3/4 inch commercial door, no new boring is needed.
3) Will the PDQ GT135LED latch into my existing strike, or do I need to change it?
Backset drives this. With the 2-3/4 inch backset the latch has a 9/16 inch throw and a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate; with the 2-3/8 inch backset the throw is 1/2 inch with a 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate. The lock ships standard with an ASA strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, which is the common commercial frame prep. If your frame is prepped differently, order the T-strike at 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches or the full lip strike at 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches instead.
4) Can the PDQ GT135LED go on a fire rated classroom door?
Yes. The GT is UL 10C listed for 3 hour fire doors on single doors up to 4 feet by 8 feet, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1. It also complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1, which matters for lever clearance and operating force in schools and public facilities.
5) Does the GT135LED meet California Education Code for classroom lockdown?
Yes. PDQ lists functions GT135, GT135LED and GT145 as California Education Code compliant, which is the requirement that a classroom door be lockable from inside the room without opening the door. The LED version adds the outside red indicator so the lockdown state is visible from the corridor.
6) Can I key the PDQ GT135LED into my existing Schlage or Best master key system?
Yes, in several ways. Conventional cylinders come in SCC (Schlage C compatible) as standard, and other manufacturers' keyways are offered: Arrow AR1, Corbin 59A1/60/L4, Russwin D1, Schlage E and C-K, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset (5-pin only), and PDQ's restricted TA. For interchangeable core systems, order SFIC prep with a 6 or 7-pin core (compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow cores) or less core, or Schlage LFIC prep with or without a Schlage core. Large format IC is only available on the Philadelphia lever. Keying options include KD, 0-bitted, keyed alike, master keyed, master keyed to existing bittings, and construction master keyed. Two keys ship per lock.
7) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the PDQ GT135LED?
No. The GT Series cylindrical lock is non-handed, so one lock covers left and right hand openings and you do not need to field-reverse anything. That is the practical reason property managers like it for fleet standardization: one part number covers every door swing in the building.
8) What lever styles and finishes does the PDQ GT135LED come in?
Three solid diecast lever designs: Philadelphia, Boston and Miami. The Philadelphia is offered in both small format and large format lever (SFL and LFL), Boston and Miami in SFL only, so if you need a large format interchangeable core you must take the Philadelphia. Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome. Split finishes can be specified if the inside and outside trim must differ, designating the outside trim first.
9) Is a PDQ GT lever durable enough for a high traffic school corridor?
The GT is PDQ's heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical lock, with 2,200 lbf-in of lever torque resistance (three times the BHMA/ANSI minimum) and cycle testing past three times BHMA standards. A diecast chassis, machined billet steel spindles and a 13 gauge steel anti-rotation plate on the secure side carry the abuse. Where the opening faces outright vandalism, PDQ steers you to the XGT at 3,000 lbf-in instead.
10) Can the PDQ GT135LED be used on an exterior door in a Florida hurricane zone?
Yes. The GT Series is approved for Florida HVHZ under PDQ Product Approval FL 21376, with a design load rating of plus or minus 70.0 PSF on a 3 by 7 foot single door. For a coastal exterior opening also consider the weatherized finish option, which is offered on 626 satin chrome only.
11) What extras can I add to a PDQ GT lock for a healthcare or hospital opening?
Several options speak directly to healthcare work: an antimicrobial coating covering inside and outside lever and rose, available on 626 satin chrome only; a lead-lined rose for radiology and imaging rooms; and a dust box behind the strike. Tactile abrasive coating can be ordered inside only, outside only, or both sides, which is the warning surface used on hazardous-area doors.
12) Can the GT135LED be monitored or tied into an access control system?
It is a mechanical lock, not an electronic one, but two switch options let it report to a panel: REX (request to exit) and ISMC, the industry standard Molex connector for wiring it in. The lock itself does not lock or unlock electrically.
13) Does the PDQ GT135LED work on a pair of doors with a 2-3/4 inch latch?
Yes, with a rotation change. Standard lever rotation is 41 degrees with the 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what the 2:1 latchbolt throw buys you in reduced torque. When the 2-3/4 inch latch is used for double doors, lever rotation goes to 65 degrees. Worth knowing before you set user expectations on a pair.
14) What is the face and rose size on the PDQ GT lever, and will it cover old trim marks?
The rose is 3-3/8 inch diameter wrought brass with concealed screws, which covers the footprint of most standard cylindrical trim. The latch front is 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches in stainless steel or wrought brass, beveled 1/8 inch in 2 inches. On the 2-3/8 inch backset the faceplate is 2-1/4 x 1 inch, so measure your existing faceplate mortise before switching backsets.
