PDQ HSCCAM8 High Security Sargent Offset Type Cam

PDQ High Security Cylinders, Cores and Cams

PDQ High Security cylinders and cores add mechanical barriers that a standard pin tumbler core does not have, resisting drilling, picking and casual key copying. The family covers key in knob/lever cylinders, mortise/rim combo and mortise cylinders, small format (SFIC) and large format Schlage compatible (LFIC) interchangeable cores, and high security cams for the mortise cylinders.

Two levels are offered. Standard High Security cylinders use two hardened anti-drill pins and a proprietary PDQ keyway with a sidebar. High Security cylinders and cores use a minimum of 11 anti-drill and stainless steel pins. Because the sidebar keyway blank is not a standard retail key wall profile, duplication is limited to controlled sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a cylinder core high security instead of standard?
PDQ High Security cores add hardened anti-drill pins plus a proprietary keyway with a sidebar, mechanical barriers a standard pin tumbler core does not have. A standard core relies on the pin stack alone.

Which PDQ products do the high security cores work with?
PDQ lists them as compatible with its GP, SD and CL Series Grade 2 locks, KV Series deadbolts, and trim including 6T thumb latches, 4P plate pulls, 4GW grip pulls and 6S rose trim.

Is PDQ High Security the same as the VAULT keying system?
No. High Security is a proprietary sidebar keyway with hardened anti-drill pins in a familiar cylinder format. VAULT is a separate PDQ platform built around a patented tapered gate (U.S. Patent #12338653).
