PDQ GT150 Grade 1 Exit / Twin Communicating Cylindrical Lever Lock

Grade 1 Heavy Duty Commercial Cylindrical Lock

The PDQ GT150 is the Exit / Twin Communicating function of the PDQ GT Series Grade 1 Heavy Duty 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.

PDQ GT150BSN626L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Exit / Twin Communicating function on the PDQ GT150 actually do?
The GT150 is the exit/twin communicating function of PDQ's GT Series cylindrical lever lock. It is a single-cylinder keyed function: the key operates from the keyed side, and the lever on the other side always retracts the latch for free egress. Twin communicating means it is the lock used between two spaces that each need their own exit path, such as adjoining offices or classrooms. It is non-handed, so one lock covers either swing.
2) Will the PDQ GT150 fit a 2-inch thick door, or only 1-3/4 inch?
It covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, and ships preset for 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is within range with the thru-bolt adjustment. The prep is the standard ANSI A156.115 (161) cylindrical bore with through-door thru-bolting, so it drops into an existing 161 prep.
3) Can I order the PDQ GT150 with a 2-3/8 inch backset for a residential-depth bore?
Yes. 2-3/4 inch is the standard backset and 2-3/8 inch is an ordering option. The two differ in more than depth: the 2-3/4 inch latch has a 9/16 inch throw with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate, while the 2-3/8 inch latch has a 1/2 inch throw with a 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate. Both are deadlocking. Match the faceplate size to the mortise already cut in the door edge.
4) Can the PDQ GT150 go on a 3-hour fire door?
Yes, the GT Series 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, so it meets the lever operation requirement on accessible openings.
5) Can the PDQ GT150 be keyed into my existing Schlage or Best master key system?
Yes. SCC (Schlage C compatible) is the standard keyway, and other manufacturers' keyways are available to order, including Arrow, 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 in 5-pin, and PDQ's restricted TA. For interchangeable core systems you can specify SFIC prep with a 6-pin or 7-pin core, which is compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow cores, or SFIC prep less core to use your own. Keying options include keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed, master keyed to existing bittings, 0-bitted, and construction master keyed. Two keys come per lock.
6) Does the PDQ GT150 take a large format Schlage interchangeable core?
Large format IC is available, but only with the Philadelphia lever. The Schlage LFIC options are prep with a Schlage core, prep less core, and prep with a construction core. If you need a Boston or Miami lever, you are limited to a conventional cylinder or small format IC.
7) Which lever styles and finishes does the PDQ GT150 come in, and will they match the rest of my building?
Three lever styles, Philadelphia, Boston and Miami, all solid diecast, on a 3-3/8 inch diameter wrought brass rose with concealed screws. Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Split finishes can be ordered if the corridor side needs to differ from the room side (designate outside trim first, then inside).
8) Is the PDQ GT150 heavy duty enough for a high school corridor, or should I step up to the XGT?
For standard to heavy commercial traffic, the GT is the right lock. It resists 2,200 lbf-in of lever torque, three times the BHMA/ANSI requirement, with a diecast chassis, machined billet steel spindles and a 13 gauge steel anti-rotation plate on the secure side. PDQ positions it as the general purpose Grade 1 lock for schools, offices and retail. Step to the XGT, rated 3,000 lbf-in, only for openings facing extreme abuse or vandalism.
9) Can the PDQ GT150 be used on a Florida coastal opening that needs HVHZ approval?
Yes. The GT Series is approved for Florida HVHZ under PDQ Product Approval FL 21376, with a design load of plus/minus 70.0 PSF on a 3 by 7 foot single door. For exterior exposure, a weatherized finish is available, offered on 626 satin chrome.
10) What options should I add to a PDQ GT150 for a healthcare or X-ray room door?
Two options matter there. A lead-lined rose (LL) is available for radiology openings, and an antimicrobial coating (AM) can be applied to the inside and outside levers and roses, offered on 626 satin chrome only. A tactile abrasive coating is also orderable, inside only, outside only, or both sides, for marking hazardous-area doors under accessibility requirements.
11) Does the PDQ GT150 have a request-to-exit switch for an access control system?
The GT150 is a mechanical lock, not an electrified one, but a request to exit switch (REX) is an orderable option, and an industry standard Molex connector (ISMC) can be specified to land the wiring. That lets the lock signal the access control panel when the inside lever is used, without changing the mechanical function.
12) Do I need to order the PDQ GT150 left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The GT is non-handed, so the same lock works on a left or right hand door, in or out swing. That is useful for stocking: one part number covers every opening of that function in a building.
13) What do I need to spell out when ordering a PDQ GT150, and what does a part number look like?
Each configuration gets its own PDQ part number, for example GT150PHL605D. Choices you make on the order are lever style, finish, cylinder or IC prep, backset (2-3/4 or 2-3/8 inch), strike (ASA, full lip or T), keyway, keying, and then the add-ons: tactile abrasive coating, split finishes, lead-lined rose, dust box, antimicrobial coating, request to exit, Molex connector and weatherized finish.
14) What is the lever rotation on the PDQ GT150, and does it change on a pair of doors?
With the standard 2-3/4 inch backset the lever rotates 41 degrees, because of the 2:1 latchbolt throw design. Less rotation means less torque on the chassis and longer life. On double doors using the 2-3/4 inch latch for that application, rotation is 65 degrees.
15) What is the latch faceplate size and bevel on the PDQ GT150?
The front is 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches on the 2-3/4 inch backset latch, 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. The bevel suits a standard beveled door edge, so it sits flat in an existing mortise without filing.
