Frequently Asked Questions
What is an interchangeable core?
An interchangeable core lets the entire keyed core be pulled out of the lock with a control key and replaced with a new one, without removing the lockset from the door. PDQ positions this as a way to restore security quickly when keys are lost or stolen.

PDQ I5303626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the PDQ I5303 rim cylinder come with a core, or do I have to order the core separately?
The I5303 is a housing only. The large format interchangeable core is ordered separately, which lets you match the core and keyway to the building's existing key system. Plan on ordering a PDQ LFIC core alongside it or the cylinder will not key or operate.
2) Will a Schlage large format interchangeable core fit the PDQ I5303 rim housing?
The I5303 is a Schlage compatible large format IC (LFIC) rim housing, so it is built to accept Schlage-format large format cores. If your building is keyed on a Schlage LFIC system, the housing drops into that program. It will not take a small format (Best style) core, that calls for PDQ's SFIC rim housing instead.
3) I need a rim cylinder for an exit device. Is the I5303 a rim cylinder or a mortise cylinder?
Rim. The I5303 is the rim configuration, which is the cylinder type used behind rim and vertical rod exit devices. If the opening needs a threaded mortise cylinder instead, PDQ's interchangeable core mortise housings cover 1-1/4, 1-3/8 and 1-1/2 inch lengths plus tapered 1-1/2 inch versions.
4) Why would I use an interchangeable core cylinder instead of a conventional keyed rim cylinder?
With an IC core installed, a control key pulls the core out and a new one drops in without removing the lock or device from the door. For a property manager or MRO crew handling lost or stolen keys across many openings, that turns a rekey into a two minute swap at the door rather than a locksmith visit per lock.
5) What finishes does the PDQ I5303 rim cylinder housing come in, and can I match the trim on my other doors?
Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Order by appending the finish code to the model, so satin chrome is I5303626. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so matching them to existing exit device trim is a matter of reading the finish code already on the hardware.
6) Is the PDQ I5303 meant for commercial openings or residential?
Commercial. PDQ lists the I5303 as commercial door hardware, which is consistent with a rim IC cylinder going into exit devices and commercial locksets rather than residential entry sets.
7) I am submitting hardware for approval. Is there keying documentation for the PDQ I5303?
Yes. PDQ publishes a cylinder, core and keying architectural submittal sheet and a cylinder/core keying brochure covering this housing family, which is what you attach for spec review and use to build the keying schedule before cores are ordered.
