PDQ I5132LIS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ I5132LIS fit a standard European profile cylinder cutout?
Yes. The EPIC Series is a European profile cylinder built to drop into standard euro profile applications, which is the whole point of the line: it lets a euro profile door be converted to an interchangeable core key system without changing the lock case. The I5132LIS is the single cylinder with thumbturn (X Turn) configuration.
2) Can a standard interchangeable core be used in the PDQ EPIC cylinder?
No, and this is the detail that gets ordered wrong most often. EPIC housings take a special format core that is specially machined to fit, carrying the EP designator (for example I5206EP-A). A standard IC core will not seat in the EPIC housing, so specify the (EP) core when you order.
3) What does the X Turn mean on the PDQ I5132LIS EPIC cylinder?
X Turn is the thumbturn side. The I5132LIS is a single cylinder with a thumbturn, so it's keyed from the outside and operated by hand from the inside, and the EPIC X Turn models use a large thumbturn for easier grip. If you need key operation from both sides instead, the EPIC line also comes as a double cylinder version.
4) Can PDQ EPIC euro profile cylinders be keyed into an existing master key system?
Yes. EPIC cylinders can be incorporated into an existing master key system, which is what makes them useful for a property manager or facility standardizing euro profile openings onto the same keyway as the rest of the building. The keying lives in the interchangeable core, so cores can be swapped later without pulling the cylinder.
5) Do I need to order the core separately for the PDQ I5132LIS?
Plan on specifying the core. The EPIC housing requires a core carrying the (EP) designator, for instance I5206EP-A, machined specifically for the EPIC housing. So the order is two decisions: the cylinder configuration and length, then the EP core in the keyway and keying you need.
6) What lengths do PDQ EPIC euro profile cylinders come in?
EPIC cylinders are offered in 45 mm and 55 mm lengths across the single, single with thumbturn, and double cylinder versions. Measure your existing cylinder from the cam centerline to each end face, since a euro profile cylinder that sits proud of the escutcheon is both a security and a finish problem.
7) Should I use a single cylinder with thumbturn or a double cylinder on a euro profile door?
Use the thumbturn version (such as the I5132LIS) where you want free egress from the inside without a key, typical of office and apartment entry doors. Choose the double cylinder when the inside face must also be key operated, for example on a glass storefront or a door where you don't want anyone unlocking from the secure side without a key. Both are available in the EPIC Series in 45 mm and 55 mm.
8) What is the PDQ EPIC cylinder made of, and is it suitable for commercial doors?
Solid brass construction, and it's catalogued for commercial use. Brass is the normal body material for euro profile cylinders, and it machines cleanly for the interchangeable core pocket that sets the EPIC line apart from a fixed-core euro cylinder.
