Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the SD different from PDQ's other Grade 2 locks?
The SD offers the widest backset range in PDQ's Grade 2 lineup (2-3/8", 2-3/4", 3-3/4" and 5") and five lever styles, more than the GP or SF Grade 2 lines.
Can the SD accept a high security cylinder?
Yes. High security cylinders are available for the SD in addition to the standard 6-pin SCC cylinder, for added pick and drill resistance on a Grade 2 lock.
Does the SD work with an electric strike?
Yes. Its standard ASA strike prep works with electric strikes, which is useful when a door needs remote release without electrifying the lock itself.

PDQ SD116BSN626D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ SD116 lever lock fit my existing 161 door prep?
Yes. The SD116 cylindrical lever lock installs on standard 160 and 161 door preps and uses removable thru-bolts, so it drops into the bore pattern already in most commercial doors. It fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick and comes preset for 1-3/4 inch, the standard commercial thickness. The 3-3/8 inch rose covers the bore with concealed screws.
2) What does the Entrance function on the PDQ SD116 actually do?
The SD116 is ANSI/BHMA F109 Entrance. Latch retracts by either lever unless the outside is locked by key; the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It is a single cylinder lock, keyed outside only, with two keys supplied per lock. That is the function for a tenant entry, office, or suite door where staff need to lock up from outside with a key.
3) Is the SD116 handed, or can I stock one lock for both left and right doors?
Non-handed with four of the five lever styles, so one lock covers both left and right swing doors. The exception is the Memphis lever, which is handed. If you are standardizing a building and want to carry a single part, pick Philadelphia, Boston, Miami or Orlando. Handing is still a selection on the order, so specify LH or RH when ordering Memphis.
4) Can the PDQ SD116 go on a fire rated door?
Yes. The SD116 is UL listed for 3 hour fire doors, single doors up to 4'0" x 8'0". It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2 and complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1, which covers the lever-operation requirement on accessible openings.
5) My door has a 3-3/4 inch backset instead of 2-3/4. Can I still use the SD116?
Yes. Backset is an order selection: 2-3/4 inch is standard, with 2-3/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch optional. The wide backsets are what makes the SD useful on aluminum and wide-stile doors where the bore sits further from the edge. Each backset is offered with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate, a 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate, or a 2-1/4 x 1 inch with 1/4 inch radius corners, so match the faceplate to the existing latch mortise.
6) Will the SD116 latch into the strike already in my frame?
The latchbolt has a 1/2 inch throw, so it needs a strike with matching lip and depth. Standard supply is an ASA strike (1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch), which is the common commercial frame prep. If your frame is prepped smaller, order the T-strike at 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch or the full lip strike at 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch instead. A dust box is available as an option if the frame needs one.
7) Can I key the PDQ SD116 into my existing Schlage C master key system?
The SD116 comes standard with a 6-pin SCC cylinder, Schlage C compatible, and keying options include master keyed to existing bittings, so it can be brought into a system already running Schlage C. Other keying choices are keyed different, 0-bitted with two blank keys, keyed alike in groups (2 or less, 3-4, 5 or more), master keyed, and construction master keyed. Other manufacturers' keyways are available as well.
8) Does the PDQ SD116 take Best style small format interchangeable cores?
Yes. The SD116 is available with SFIC prep taking 6 or 7-pin small format cores compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow. Two limits matter: SFIC is not available with the Memphis lever, and large format Schlage IC is offered on the Philadelphia lever only. Core choices on the order include SFIC with 6-pin core, 7-pin core, construction core, plastic construction core, or less core.
9) Is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever like the PDQ SD116 enough for my building, or do I need Grade 1?
Grade 2 standard duty is what the SD116 is built for: commercial openings with moderate traffic, such as offices, tenant suites, and multi-family unit doors. The mechanism is heavy gauge cold rolled steel, dichromated for corrosion resistance. For high abuse openings, main entrances, stairwells, or school corridors, a Grade 1 cylindrical lock is the better call. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier, Grade 2 the middle.
10) I need remote release on this door. Can the SD116 work with an electric strike, or do I need an electrified lock?
The SD116 is a mechanical lock, not electronic, but its standard ASA strike prep accepts an electric strike. That is the usual route for remote release on this opening: leave the lock mechanical and electrify the frame instead of the door. No power transfer hinge or door loop needed.
11) What do I have to specify when ordering a PDQ SD116?
Six selections build the part number: lever style, finish, backset and faceplate, handing, strike, cylinder or core prep, and keying. An extra option slot covers split finishes or a dust box. A completed designation looks like SD116PHL605D. If you are buying a government or federally funded job, note the SD is TAA compliant.
12) What lever styles and finishes does the PDQ SD116 come in, and can I match existing hardware?
Five solid diecast lever styles: Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, Memphis and Orlando. Five finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 flat black, and 626 satin chrome. If you need the inside and outside to differ, there is a split finish option. Roses are 3-3/8 inch wrought brass with concealed screws, so no exposed fasteners on the face.
