PDQ I5207 SFIC Interchangeable Core, 7-Pin, Uncombinated

Small and Large Format Interchangeable Cores

PDQ interchangeable cores let staff rekey a door by removing the core with a control key and installing a new one, without taking the lock off the door or repinning it in place. That restores security quickly when a key is lost or stolen.

PDQ makes small format (SFIC) cores in 6 and 7-pin that swap with Best, Falcon and Arrow cores, and Schlage-format large format (LFIC) 6-pin cores. Cores come uncombinated, without springs and pins, or combinated, which includes master keying.

Key Features

  • SFIC cores in 6 or 7-pin, compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow housings
  • LFIC cores follow the Schlage large format (SCC keyway), 6-pin only
  • Uncombinated cores ship without springs and pins; combinated cores include master keying
  • Best compatible keyways plus PDQ1, PDQ2 and PDQ3 (restricted) keyways; PDQ keyways are combinated only
  • Control keys are ordered separately
  • Fits PDQ locks, deadbolts and exit device trim that take interchangeable cores, such as the MR, GT, KM, KV and MJ and the 6W, 6N, 6C, 4EW and 4EN trim

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an interchangeable core?
An interchangeable core is a lock core that comes out of the lock with a control key, so a door is rekeyed by swapping the core instead of taking the lock apart. The lock stays on the door, and staff can restore security within seconds after a key is lost.

What is the difference between small format and large format interchangeable cores?
Small format interchangeable cores (SFIC) use a plug smaller than the standard 1/2" and swap with any other SFIC housing, including Best, Falcon and Arrow. Large format interchangeable cores (LFIC) use the same key families as conventional cylinders and usually fit only one manufacturer's locks. PDQ SFIC cores come in 6 or 7-pin, and PDQ LFIC cores follow the Schlage format.

Do I need a locksmith to rekey a PDQ interchangeable core?
No. Trained facility staff can remove and replace a core with a control key, without disassembling the lockset.

PDQ I5207626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the PDQ I5207 7-pin core fit Best, Falcon or Arrow lock housings?
Yes. The I5207 is a small format interchangeable core (SFIC), and PDQ's SFIC cores swap with Best, Falcon and Arrow cores. SFIC uses a plug smaller than the standard 1/2 inch and will drop into any other SFIC housing, so you can standardize mixed hardware on one core format. Note it is a 7-pin core, so your key system has to be 7-pin.
2) Does the PDQ I5207 come with pins and springs, or do I have to pin it myself?
Uncombinated. The I5207 ships without springs and pins, so a locksmith or in-house key shop pins it to your system. If you want it delivered keyed, including master keying, order a combinated core instead. Also worth knowing: the PDQ1, PDQ2 and PDQ3 exclusive keyways are only offered combinated, so an uncombinated order has to use a Best-compatible keyway.
3) Which keyway do I pick for a PDQ I5207 interchangeable core?
Keyway is a required selection. The Best-compatible SFIC keyways offered are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, Q, R, WA, WB, WC, WG, WH, TB, TD and TE, plus PDQ1, PDQ2 and PDQ3 (PDQ3 is restricted). There is also an SCC Schlage C option, but that is large format and 6-pin only, so it does not apply to a 7-pin SFIC core. If you are adding to an existing Best-based system, match the letter already stamped on your keys.
4) Is a control key included with the PDQ I5207 core?
No. Control keys are ordered separately. Without one you cannot pull or install the core in the housing, so make sure your facility already has the control key for that keyway or add one to the order.
5) Which PDQ locks and exit device trims accept the I5207 core?
It fits PDQ locks, deadbolts and exit device trim built for interchangeable cores, specifically the MR, GT, KM, KV and MJ locks and the 6W, 6N, 6C, 4EW and 4EN trims. Any other SFIC housing on the building (Best, Falcon, Arrow) will also take it.
6) Should I use a 7-pin SFIC core or a Schlage large format core?
Pick by the system you already run. SFIC like the I5207 is cross-brand, interchanging with Best, Falcon and Arrow housings, and PDQ offers it in 6 or 7-pin. Large format IC follows the Schlage SCC keyway, uses the same key families as conventional cylinders, generally fits only one manufacturer's locks, and PDQ offers LFIC in 6-pin only. If you want one core format across mixed hardware, SFIC. If you are extending an existing Schlage C system, go LFIC.
7) Can my maintenance staff rekey a door with these cores, or do we need a locksmith on site?
Trained facility staff can do it. With the control key the core comes out and a new one goes in without removing the lock from the door or repinning in place, which is why schools, multi-tenant offices and apartment buildings with turnover run this system. Pinning the uncombinated I5207 to your key schedule is the part that still needs a key shop.
8) What finishes does the PDQ I5207 core come in?
Four: 606 satin brass (I5207606), 626 satin chrome (I5207626), 613E dark oxidized satin bronze (I5207613E) and 622 flat black (I5207622). Match the core face to the lever or exit trim already on the door so the swap is not obvious.
9) Is the PDQ I5207 a commercial-grade core or for residential use?
It is a commercial door hardware item, intended for institutional and multi-tenant openings where cores get swapped on turnover rather than a single home entry door.
