PDQ J163626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I replace just the mortise lock case on a PDQ 6300M exit device instead of the whole device?
Yes. The J163 lock body is sold on its own so a failed or worn mortise case can be swapped out while the push bar, trim and door prep stay as they are. PDQ supports the 6300 and 6400 Series with individual service parts for exactly this reason, including head chassis assemblies, latchbolts, rods, covers, end caps, strikes and screwpacks.
2) How do I order the PDQ J163 in the right finish to match my existing exit device?
The finish code is appended to the part number, so a bright brass body orders as J163605. Seven finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel. Match the code already stamped on the device you are servicing, since 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome look noticeably different side by side on the same opening.
3) Will changing the PDQ mortise lock body change my door prep or cylinder?
The J163 is a like-for-like factory lock body for the 6300M, so it is intended to go back into the same mortise pocket and device the original came out of. It is the lock case itself, not a trim, cylinder or strike. If the strike or shims are also worn, PDQ lists those separately, along with drill guides and screwpacks for adjustment.
4) Can I add cylinder dogging or an alarm to an installed PDQ 6300 device at the same time?
Yes, but not with the J163. Dogging and alarm functions come as separate PDQ conversion kits that add cylinder dogging or an alarm to a device already hanging on the door. The J163 only replaces the mortise lock body. If you want both, order the lock body and the conversion kit for your device.
5) Is the PDQ J163 a genuine PDQ part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine PDQ. Part number J163 is a factory part for the 6300M mortise exit device, which matters on fire rated openings where the device has to stay as it was listed. PDQ also offers panic rated and fire rated head chassis as replacement items in the same service range.
6) Is the PDQ J163 lock body a commercial-duty part or for residential doors?
Commercial. The J163 belongs to PDQ's commercial door hardware line and serves the 6300 Series exit devices used on means-of-egress openings, not residential locksets.
