PDQ TJ205 Double Dummy Tubular Lever Lock
Tubular Lever Lock with Stainless Steel Trim
The PDQ TJ205 is the Double Dummy function of the PDQ TJ Series Tubular Trim Suite Lock.
The PDQ TJ Series is a tubular lock for non-keyed interior functions: communicating, passage, privacy, double dummy and single dummy. A tubular lock installs through cross bores in the door rather than a pocket cut into the door edge, making for a simpler installation than a mortise lock.
The TJ is styled to coordinate with PDQ's MR Series mortise locks, sharing the same sectional rose diameter and lever designs, so one lever look can run across a project. Its levers and roses are investment cast stainless steel, offered with a round or square rose in ten lever designs, and the lock carries a five year limited warranty (except ball knob).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the TJ levers be matched to PDQ mortise locks?
Yes. The TJ uses the same lever styles and sectional rose diameter as the PDQ MR Series mortise lock, so a project can use TJ on interior passage and privacy doors and MR mortise locks elsewhere with a matching lever design.
Does the TJ have a keyed function?
No. The TJ is offered in communicating, passage, privacy, double dummy and single dummy functions only, with no keyed entry function.
What is the communicating function used for?
It is used on doors that connect two adjoining rooms, such as hotel connecting rooms, letting either side lock the door from its own room.

PDQ TJ205BSN630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the double dummy function on the PDQ TJ205 lever lock actually do?
Double dummy means levers on both sides of the door that are fixed, non-turning trim only. There is no latch, no bolt and no key cylinder, so the TJ205 does not secure or latch anything. It is pull hardware used on inactive leaves of double doors, closet and pantry doors, or French door pairs where the door is held by a ball catch or roller catch supplied separately. If you need the door to latch, you want the passage function instead; if you need privacy, the privacy function.
2) Do I need to drill a backset or bore a door edge for a PDQ TJ205 double dummy?
No latch runs through the edge of the door on a double dummy, so there is no latch bore or strike prep to cut. The TJ205 mounts to the face of the door through the cross bore area only. The 2-3/4 inch backset listed for the TJ Series is the figure that governs the latching functions (ANSI 115.2 Type 161 prep, with Type 160 and a 2-3/8 inch backset optional); on the dummy you are only locating the rose centerline so it lines up with the latching doors beside it.
3) Will the PDQ TJ205 fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The TJ Series covers doors from 1-3/8 inches (35mm) up to 1-3/4 inches (44mm), so it handles both older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch commercial leaves without a different part number.
4) Can I match PDQ TJ205 dummy levers to the mortise locks on my corridor doors?
If those mortise locks are PDQ MR Series, yes. The TJ uses the same lever designs and the same sectional rose diameter as the MR Series, so a project can run MR mortise locks on the openings that need keyed security and TJ dummies and passage sets on interior and inactive doors with one lever look throughout.
5) Does the PDQ TJ205 need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
Mostly no. The TJ205 is non-handed across the line, with one exception: the Memphis lever is handed. Orlando, Los Angeles and Houston are handed only on the 211 single dummy, not on the 205 double dummy. Handing is still a selection on the order, so set it to non-handed unless you are specifying Memphis.
6) What do I have to specify when ordering a PDQ TJ205 double dummy lever?
Four choices make up the part number: lever style, rose style, finish and handing. Lever styles are Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, Chicago, Houston, Memphis, Orlando, Los Angeles, Dallas and Ball Knob. Rose is round at 2-3/8 inch diameter or square at 2-9/16 inch. Finishes are 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 flat black, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless. A complete number reads like TJ205PHL605.
7) Is the PDQ TJ205 lever ADA compliant for a multi-family or office project?
The TJ Series lever trim complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1, with the ball knob option excepted since a knob is not an accessible operable part. Specify any of the nine lever designs rather than Ball Knob on openings that have to meet the accessibility requirement.
8) Can the PDQ TJ205 be keyed or converted to a keyed entry lever later?
No. The TJ Series has no keyed function at all, in any model. It covers communicating, passage, privacy, double dummy and single dummy only. For a keyed opening on the same project, use PDQ's keyed cylindrical or MR Series mortise hardware with a matching lever design.
9) Does the PDQ TJ205 come with a strike plate?
A strike is not part of a double dummy application, because the 205 has no latchbolt to catch. The full lip strike listed as standard for the TJ Series, along with the optional T-strike and ASA strike, applies to the latching functions. On an inactive leaf with TJ205 trim you will need a ball or roller catch, ordered separately.
10) What is the difference between the TJ205 double dummy and the TJ211 single dummy?
The 205 is double dummy, so it supplies fixed trim on both faces of the door. The 211 single dummy puts trim on one face only, which is what you use on a door that is pushed from the other side or has no access requirement there. Handing also differs: the Orlando, Los Angeles and Houston levers are handed on the 211 but not on the 205.
11) Will the PDQ TJ205 levers hold up in a rental building corridor or will they loosen?
The levers and roses are investment cast stainless steel rather than pressed or die cast, and the series is catalogued as commercial grade with high-end residential, multi-family and office as its stated applications. Since the 205 is a dummy, there is no latch mechanism to wear out, only the mounting of fixed trim to the door face.
12) Should I use a square or round rose on the PDQ TJ205?
It is purely a styling and coverage decision. The round rose measures 2-3/8 inches in diameter and the square rose 2-9/16 inches. If you are replacing hardware that left a visible wear ring or paint line on the door face, the square rose covers slightly more area. Match whichever rose shape the rest of the PDQ trim on the job uses.
