PDQ XGT126 Grade 1 Passage Cylindrical Lever Lock
Grade 1 Extra Heavy Duty Cylindrical Lock
The PDQ XGT126 is the Passage function (ANSI/BHMA F75) of the PDQ XGT Series Grade 1 Extra Heavy Duty Cylindrical Lock.
The PDQ XGT Series is an extra heavy duty cylindrical lock certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1 and cycle tested to over 3 times the BHMA standard. A 2:1 latch bolt throw allows a 41 degree lever rotation with the 2-3/4" backset, which reduces torque and lengthens the life of the lock.
XGT is the step up from the GT Series for doors that face heavy abuse, with 3,000 lbf-in of lever torque resistance and a 13-gauge steel anti-rotation plate. It is assembled in Lancaster, PA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the PDQ XGT and GT cylindrical locks?
Both are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. XGT is rated for 3,000 lbf-in of lever torque resistance, about 4 times the ANSI/BHMA standard, versus 2,200 lbf-in for GT. XGT also uses a 13-gauge steel anti-rotation plate and is cycle tested to over 3 times BHMA standards.
Is the XGT lock fire rated?
Yes. XGT is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors on single doors up to 4'0" x 8'0", meeting UL 10C requirements.
What door thicknesses and backsets fit the XGT lock?
XGT fits doors 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" thick (preset for 1-3/4") with a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset, and it is non-handed, so one unit installs on any door hand.

PDQ XGT126BSN626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDQ XGT126 passage lever fit a 2-inch thick door, or only 1-3/4 inch?
The XGT126 covers doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2-inch door is within range. It ships preset for 1-3/4 inches, so the installer adjusts the chassis for anything thicker. Mounting is through-bolted and the door prep is the standard ANSI A156.115 (161) cylindrical bore.
2) Does the XGT126 need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The XGT126 is non-handed, so one unit installs on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing. That is useful on a multi-family or stairwell retrofit where you are buying a quantity and do not want to count hands opening by opening.
3) Is a passage function lever the right choice, or do I need a keyed lock?
Passage (ANSI/BHMA F75) means latch only, no lock at all. Both levers always retract the bolt, there is no cylinder and no key. Use it where you want a controlled, latched door but no security: corridors, stairwell pull sides, equipment rooms on a separate lock, doors held by a closer. If anyone needs to secure the opening, you want a keyed or privacy function in the XGT series instead, not the XGT126.
4) Can I use the PDQ XGT126 on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The XGT series is UL 10C listed for 3-hour fire doors on single doors up to 4 feet by 8 feet. For a fire opening you generally also want the dust box option (DB) on the strike side, which is listed as an orderable option.
5) What is the difference between the PDQ XGT and the GT cylindrical lock?
Both carry ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1. The XGT is built for abuse: 3,000 lbf-in of lever torque resistance versus 2,200 lbf-in on the GT, plus a 13-gauge steel anti-rotation plate and cycle testing to over three times the BHMA standard. Spend up to XGT on exterior entries, stairwells, and schools where levers get hung on. GT is enough for interior openings with normal traffic.
6) What do I have to specify when ordering an XGT126 besides finish?
Lever style and finish set the part number (for example XGT126PHL605 is a Philadelphia lever in 605 bright brass). You also choose backset (2-3/4 or 2-3/8) and strike (ASA, T-Strike, or Full Lip). Options on top of that: tactile abrasive coating inside, outside, or both sides; split finishes; lead-lined rose; dust box; antimicrobial coating (626 only); request to exit; industry standard Molex connector; and weatherized finish (626 only).
7) Does the XGT126 lever meet ADA requirements for a barrier-free opening?
Yes. The lever design complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1, which is what an institutional or government spec is usually looking for on operable hardware. For visually impaired signalling on hazardous doors, the tactile abrasive coating options (TC1IS inside, TC1OS outside, TC2 both sides) are available.
8) Can I use this PDQ lever on a coastal Florida exterior door?
The XGT series holds PDQ Product Approval FL 21376 for the Florida High Velocity Hurricane Zone, with a design load of plus or minus 70.0 PSF on a single 3 by 7 foot door. For exterior exposure, the weatherized finish option is available in 626 satin chrome.
9) Which lever styles and finishes does the PDQ XGT126 come in?
Three lever styles, Philadelphia, Boston, and Miami, each available in all seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. All are solid diecast levers on 3-3/8 inch wrought brass roses with concealed screws, so nothing visible to pry at. Note that antimicrobial and weatherized finishes are offered only on 626.
10) Why does the XGT lever only rotate 41 degrees, and does that change on a pair of doors?
With the 2-3/4 inch backset the 2:1 latchbolt throw lets the lever operate at 41 degrees of rotation, which cuts the torque on the chassis and extends lock life. On double doors using the 2-3/4 inch latch, rotation is 65 degrees. Worth knowing if you are standardizing feel across a building and have both single and paired openings.
11) Will the XGT126 passage lever work in an X-ray or imaging room?
A lead-lined rose (LL) is offered on the XGT series, which is what radiology and imaging suites call for so the lock bore does not become a radiation leak path. Order it as the Lead-Lined Rose option with the lever and finish you need.
