PDQ I5131 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ I5131 EPIC cylinder fit a standard European profile cylinder prep?
Yes. The EPIC Series is a European profile cylinder built so standard European profile cylinder applications can be retrofitted into an interchangeable core key system. The I5131 is the 45 mm single cylinder version, so the opening needs to be prepped for a 45 mm Euro profile cylinder.
2) What core does the PDQ I5131 take, and can I use a standard PDQ interchangeable core in it?
No, a standard core will not work. The EPIC housing takes a specially machined special format interchangeable core carrying the EP designator, for example I5206EP-A. If you order the cylinder without an EP core you will have a housing you cannot key.
3) Can a PDQ EPIC cylinder be keyed into the master key system already running in my building?
Yes. EPIC cylinders can be incorporated into an existing master key system, which is the main reason to use them on Euro profile doors instead of a fixed-cylinder Euro unit. You key the EP interchangeable core to your existing system rather than the housing itself, so cores can be rotated later without pulling the cylinder.
4) I have a Euro profile lock on a storefront door and I want it on my interchangeable core system. Is the EPIC cylinder what I need?
That is exactly the case the EPIC Series was built for. Most Euro profile cylinders are fixed-pin units that cannot join an IC system, so facilities running interchangeable cores end up with one door off the system. The EPIC body drops into the Euro profile prep and accepts an EP special format core, so that opening keys like the rest of the building. Order the matching EP core with it.
5) What is the difference between the PDQ EPIC single, single with thumbturn, and double cylinder versions?
All three are Euro profile bodies in the same series. The single cylinder, which is what the I5131 is, is keyed on one side only. The single with thumbturn (X Turn) is keyed outside with a large thumbturn inside for egress without a key. The double cylinder is keyed on both faces, so it needs a key from either side. EPIC comes in 45 mm and 55 mm lengths across those versions.
6) Should I order the 45 mm or the 55 mm PDQ EPIC cylinder?
Euro profile cylinder length is set by the door and lock case, not by preference. The I5131 is the 45 mm single; if your existing cylinder measures longer than that, the 55 mm EPIC is the one to order. Measuring the cylinder you are pulling out is the reliable way to pick.
7) Does the PDQ I5131 come with a core and keys?
The I5131 is the 45 mm single cylinder housing. The core is specified separately and must be an EPIC core with the EP designator, such as I5206EP-A, since those cores are specially machined to fit the housing. Plan the order as housing plus EP core keyed to your system.
8) What is the PDQ I5131 EPIC cylinder made of, and is it suitable for commercial traffic?
Solid brass body, and PDQ lists the EPIC Series as commercial door hardware. Brass is the usual material for Euro profile cylinders because it machines cleanly for the keyway and resists corrosion in exterior storefront and entry applications.
