PDQ I5207EP626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the PDQ I5207EP SFIC core come pinned and keyed, or do I have to pin it myself?
The I5207EP ships uncombinated, which means no springs and no pins in the core. A locksmith pins it on site to whatever key system you are building. If you want it pinned and master keyed from the factory, order a combinated EPIC core instead.
2) Will a PDQ EPIC core fit my Best SFIC housings and retrofit cylinders?
The EPIC core is a small format interchangeable core (SFIC), the figure-8 format, and it is offered in Best keyways A through R, including the WA, WB, WC, WG, WH, TB, TD, TE and Q sections. So it drops into standard SFIC prepped housings, mortise and rim retrofit cylinders, padlocks and cam locks that take a small format core in the keyway you specify.
3) Should I buy the 7-pin EPIC core or the 6-pin version?
Pick by the key system you already run. The EPIC series comes in both 6-pin and 7-pin, and the I5207EP is the 7-pin. Seven pins gives you another level of masterkeying depth, which is what large facilities and multi-building campuses standardize on. If your existing keys and cores are 6-pin, stay with the 6-pin EPIC so your keys interchange.
4) Do I have to pick a keyway when ordering the PDQ I5207EP core?
Yes, keyway is a required selection on the I5207EP, with 22 Best SFIC sections to choose from: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, Q, R, WA, WB, WC, WG, WH, TB, TD and TE. Keyway A is the default. Match the section to the rest of your system or the keys will not enter the core.
5) What finishes does the PDQ EPIC 7-pin core come in, and will it match my existing hardware?
Two finishes: 606 satin brass and 626 satin chrome. Satin chrome 626 is the usual pairing with satin chrome or brushed stainless lever and exit hardware, and 606 with satin brass trim. Only the exposed core face shows once it is installed, so matching the lockset finish keeps the opening consistent.
6) What is the actual PDQ part number I order for a satin chrome 7-pin EPIC core?
The finish code appends to the base model, so satin chrome is I5207EP626 and satin brass is I5207EP606. The keyway is specified alongside it as a separate order line selection.
7) I manage a property and need spare cores for rekeying turnovers. Is an uncombinated core the right thing to stock?
Uncombinated EPIC cores are the right stock item if you or your locksmith pin in house, since they arrive empty of pins and springs and can be combinated to any change key in your system. If nobody on your team pins cores, order combinated instead, because an uncombinated core cannot be used as delivered.
8) Is the PDQ EPIC SFIC core suitable for commercial buildings or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial door hardware item. Interchangeable cores are specified in commercial and institutional work precisely because the core can be swapped with a control key without pulling the lock apart, which is how schools, hospitals and multi-family properties rekey after turnover or a lost key.
