EPIC cylinders are solid brass, come in single, single with thumbturn and double cylinder versions in 45 mm and 55 mm lengths, and can be keyed into an existing master key system.

PDQ I5131L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ I5131L EPIC cylinder accept a standard PDQ interchangeable core?
No. The EPIC housing takes a specially machined core carrying the EP designator, for example I5206EP-A. A standard interchangeable core will not seat in an EPIC cylinder, so the EP core has to be specified separately when you order.
2) Can a PDQ EPIC cylinder replace an existing European profile cylinder in a storefront or interior door?
That is what the EPIC Series is built for. It is a European profile cylinder, so it retrofits standard euro profile cylinder applications, with the difference that it accepts a special format interchangeable core instead of a fixed-pinned plug. That lets a euro profile opening join an interchangeable core key system without changing the lock body.
3) What length is the PDQ I5131L and how does it differ from the 45 mm EPIC cylinder?
The I5131L is a 55 mm single cylinder. EPIC cylinders come in 45 mm and 55 mm lengths, so the choice comes down to the depth your lock case and door hardware need; order the 45 mm version if the 55 mm projects too far for your application.
4) Single, single with thumbturn, or double euro cylinder: which EPIC version do I need?
EPIC is offered as a single cylinder, a single with thumbturn, and a double cylinder. The I5131L is the single, keyed on one side only, which suits an opening that only needs outside key control. Pick the single with thumbturn (the X Turn, which uses a large thumbturn) when the inside should lock and unlock without a key, and the double cylinder when both faces need to be keyed.
5) Can the PDQ EPIC cylinder be keyed into the master key system we already use in the building?
Yes. EPIC cylinders can be incorporated into an existing master key system, which is the reason to use them over a fixed euro cylinder: the euro profile opening ends up on the same keying hierarchy as the rest of the facility. Keying is carried by the EP interchangeable core you specify with it.
6) Is the PDQ I5131L EPIC cylinder suitable for commercial use, and what is it made of?
It is a commercial-rated cylinder of solid brass construction. Brass is the usual body material for keyed cylinders because it machines tightly for the plug and core fit and does not corrode in interior commercial service.
