PDQ I5133L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ I5133L EPIC cylinder fit a standard European profile lock case?
Yes. The EPIC Series is a European profile cylinder built to retrofit standard European profile cylinder applications, so it drops into a euro-profile mortise case already prepped for that shape. The I5133L is the double cylinder version, meaning a key-operated cylinder on both sides of the door.
2) What do the 55mm and 45mm numbers on the PDQ I5133L mean?
They are the two halves of the cylinder measured from the center cam outward. The I5133L is a double cylinder with a 55 mm side and a 45 mm side, so it is not symmetrical. Mount the 55 mm half toward the face of the door that needs more projection, and measure your existing cylinder's two halves before swapping, since a euro cylinder that is short on one side sits recessed and one that is long sticks out and is vulnerable.
3) Can I key a PDQ EPIC cylinder into the master key system I already have in the building?
Yes, EPIC cylinders can be incorporated into an existing master key system. That is the point of the series for a property manager or facility locksmith: a European profile opening that previously sat outside the keying scheme can be brought onto the same system as the rest of the doors.
4) Does the PDQ I5133L come with a core, or do I order the core separately?
The I5133L is the EPIC housing, and it takes a special format interchangeable core. EPIC cores are specially machined to fit the housing and carry the EP designator, for example I5206EP-A. A standard PDQ interchangeable core will not seat in it, so the core has to be specified with the EP designator when you order.
5) What is the difference between the EPIC double cylinder and the single or thumbturn versions?
All three share the same European profile housing. The double cylinder, like the I5133L, is keyed from both sides. The single cylinder is keyed from one side only, and the single with thumbturn (X Turn) swaps the inside key for a large thumbturn so occupants can lock and unlock without a key. Choose the double for an opening where you want key control on both faces, and the thumbturn version for a door people exit through. EPIC comes in 45 mm and 55 mm lengths.
6) I need to convert a euro profile door to interchangeable core keying without replacing the lock. What do I order?
Order the EPIC housing in the length and function you need, then the matching EP core. The EPIC Series exists for exactly that conversion: it keeps the existing European profile lock case and prep, and turns the opening into an interchangeable core opening so cores can be pulled and rekeyed later without removing the cylinder. For a both-sides-keyed door in 55 mm/45 mm, that housing is the I5133L.
7) Is the PDQ EPIC cylinder brass or plated steel, and is it suitable for commercial traffic?
Solid brass construction, and PDQ classes the EPIC Series as commercial door hardware rather than residential. Brass is the normal body material for euro profile cylinders because it machines tightly around the core and resists corrosion on exterior openings.
