PDQ GT182 Grade 1 Office / Entry Cylindrical Lever Lock
Grade 1 Heavy Duty Commercial Cylindrical Lock
The PDQ GT182 is the Office / Entry function (ANSI/BHMA F82) 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 GT182MIA626D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ GT182 fit a 2-inch thick door, or is it only for 1-3/4 inch doors?
The GT182 cylindrical lever lock covers doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick, and it ships preset for a 1-3/4 inch door. Thicker doors need the lock adjusted at install. It mounts in the standard ANSI A156.115 (161) cylindrical prep with through-door thru-bolting, so no special door machining is involved.
2) Will the GT182 latch into the strike already in my frame?
Depends on which strike is in the frame. The GT182 comes standard with an ASA strike at 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, and you can order it instead with a T-strike (1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches) or a full lip strike (1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches) to match existing frame prep. Latchbolt throw is 9/16 inch with the 2-3/4 inch backset and 1/2 inch with the 2-3/8 inch backset, so an existing strike pocket with normal depth will accept it.
3) What does the Office / Entry F82 function on the GT182 actually do at the door?
Office / Entry (ANSI/BHMA F82) means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It is a single-cylinder keyed function, so there is no key on the inside. That is the usual choice for office doors, classroom corridors and tenant suite entries where staff need to lock the door behind them but exit is never restricted.
4) Can the GT182 be keyed into my existing Schlage or Best master key system?
Yes, within the keyways PDQ offers. The GT182 takes conventional cylinders with Schlage C (SCC) standard, and the keyway list also covers Schlage E, Schlage C-K, Arrow AR1, Corbin 59A1 / 60 / L4, Russwin D1, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset (5-pin only) and the restricted PDQ TA. For interchangeable core systems, order SFIC prep with a 6-pin or 7-pin core (compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow cores) or Schlage large format IC prep, which is available on the Philadelphia lever only. Keying options run from keyed different and 0-bitted through keyed alike, master keyed, master keyed to existing bittings, and construction master keyed.
5) Which commercial lever lock does the PDQ GT182 replace?
PDQ cross references the GT182 against Best 9KxxUA, Corbin CL3361, Dorma C150, Falcon T501, Hager 3450, Marks B, Sargent 10G24, Schlage ND50 and Accentra 5404LN. Since it uses the standard 161 cylindrical door prep and a 2-3/4 inch backset, it drops into the same hole those locks came out of on most openings.
6) Is the PDQ GT182 approved for a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The GT182 is UL 10C listed for 3 hour fire doors on single doors up to 4 feet by 8 feet, and the lock is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1. For fire door assemblies, order the dust box (DB) option if your frame prep calls for one.
7) Can I use the PDQ GT182 on a hurricane rated exterior door in Florida?
Yes. The GT182 is approved for Florida HVHZ under PDQ Product Approval FL 21376, with a design load of +/- 70.0 PSF on a 3 by 7 foot single door. For coastal exterior use, the weatherized finish option is available on 626 Satin Chrome.
8) Which backset should I order on the PDQ GT182, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
2-3/4 inch is standard on the GT182 and is what most commercial openings are prepped for; 2-3/8 inch is the option, and it is the common backset on lighter or older interior doors. The two differ beyond the measurement: 2-3/4 inch gives a 9/16 inch deadlocking latch throw with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate, while 2-3/8 inch gives a 1/2 inch throw with a 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore before you pick.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a PDQ GT182 lever lock?
No handing to specify. The GT182 is non-handed, so one lock works on a left or right hand door and the lever can be oriented in the field. That makes it easier to stock a single part number across a building.
10) Does the GT182 lever meet ADA requirements for a public building?
It does. The GT182 uses a lever handle and complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1. Lever rotation is 41 degrees with the 2-3/4 inch backset, which keeps operating effort low. If you need a visual-impairment tactile warning surface, the tactile abrasive coating can be specified inside only, outside only, or both sides.
11) I am putting these on a pair of doors, is there anything different to order?
Yes, watch the latch. Standard lever rotation on the GT182 is 41 degrees with the 2-3/4 inch backset, but double door applications use a 2-3/4 inch latch with 65 degree rotation. Call out the double door application when you order so the right latch ships.
12) Do I need the heavier PDQ XGT instead of the GT182 for a high traffic school entrance?
For most school, office and retail openings the GT handles it. It is a heavy duty Grade 1 lock with 2,200 lbf-in of lever torque resistance, three times the BHMA/ANSI standard, plus a diecast chassis, billet steel spindles and a 13 gauge steel anti-rotation plate on the secure side. PDQ saves the XGT, rated to 3,000 lbf-in, for openings facing extreme abuse or vandalism.
13) What lever styles and finishes does the PDQ GT182 come in, and can I match different finishes inside and out?
Three lever styles on the GT182: Philadelphia, Boston and Miami, all solid diecast. 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 (SF) are available if the corridor side needs to differ from the room side, designated outside trim first, then inside. One constraint worth knowing: Schlage large format IC prep is offered on the Philadelphia lever only, and both the antimicrobial coating and the weatherized finish are 626 only.
14) Can the GT182 send a signal to an access control panel when someone exits?
Yes, with options. The GT182 itself is a mechanical lock, not electronic, but it can be ordered with Request to Exit (REX) monitoring and an industry standard Molex connector (ISMC) for wiring into a panel. It will not electrically lock or unlock the door, so if you need remote locking you want an electrified lock instead.
15) Is there a version of the GT182 for a healthcare or imaging suite door?
Two options address that. The antimicrobial coating (AM) covers the lever set including inside and outside levers and roses, and is available on 626 Satin Chrome. For X-ray and imaging rooms, a lead-lined rose (LL) can be specified. The rose itself is 3-3/8 inch diameter wrought brass with concealed screws.
16) What ships with each PDQ GT182 lock?
Each GT182 lock comes with two keys, the latch and faceplate for the backset you specify, and a strike (ASA standard unless you choose the T-strike or full lip strike). Front is 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches in stainless steel or wrought brass, beveled 1/8 inch in 2 inches. A dust box is an add-on, not standard. Every configuration carries its own PDQ part number, for example GT182PHL605D.
