PDQ XGT128 Grade 1 Institution Cylindrical Lever Lock

Grade 1 Extra Heavy Duty Cylindrical Lock

The PDQ XGT128 is the Institution function (ANSI/BHMA F87) 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 XGT128BSN626L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Institution function on the PDQ XGT128 actually do?
The XGT128 is the Institution function, ANSI/BHMA F87. Both levers are always rigid, and the latch is retracted by key from either side only. Nobody passes through without a key, in either direction, so it suits stairwell doors, mechanical and storage rooms, and detention or institutional corridors where you do not want free egress through the opening. It takes a single cylinder. If you need free egress from the inside, this is the wrong function, pick a classroom, storeroom or entry function from the XGT line instead.
2) Will the PDQ XGT128 fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The XGT Series cylindrical lock covers doors from 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches thick, shipped preset for 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is inside range and just needs the standard thickness adjustment. Mounting is through-bolted and the door prep is the standard ANSI A156.115 (161) cylindrical prep.
3) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand XGT128?
Neither. The XGT128 is non-handed, so one lock installs on any door hand with no field conversion. That is useful for a property manager or MRO stockroom keeping a single part on the shelf for a whole building.
4) Will the XGT128 latch into the strike already in my frame?
Depends what is in the frame. The standard strike is an ASA 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch, which is the common commercial frame prep, and a full lip strike at 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches or a T-strike at 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches can be ordered instead. Latch throw is 9/16 inch on the 2-3/4 inch backset and 1/2 inch on the 2-3/8 inch backset, both deadlocking, so an existing ASA cutout will take it. Faceplate is 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches on the 2-3/4 backset and 2-1/4 x 1 inch on the 2-3/8.
5) Which backset should I specify on a PDQ XGT128?
2-3/4 inches is the standard and the one to use on most commercial openings, with 2-3/8 inches available as an option for narrower stiles or existing 2-3/8 prep. The 2-3/4 backset also gives the 41 degree lever rotation from the 2:1 latch bolt throw, which cuts torque on the mechanism. For a pair of doors there is a 65 degree rotation version with the 2-3/4 latch.
6) Can the XGT128 go on my existing Best or Schlage keying system?
Yes, several ways. Keyed versions take a Schlage C compatible conventional cylinder (SCC is the standard keyway), small format interchangeable cores compatible with Best, Falcon and Arrow, or Schlage large format IC cores, which are offered on the Philadelphia lever only. Keyway choices at order time include Arrow AR1, Corbin 59A1, 60 and L4, Russwin D1, Schlage C, C-K and E, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset in 5-pin, and PDQ restricted TA.
7) Is the PDQ XGT128 approved for a 3-hour fire rated stairwell door?
Yes. The XGT lock is UL 10C listed for 3-hour fire doors on single doors up to 4 ft by 8 ft, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1. It also complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1, and carries Florida HVHZ approval FL 21376 with a design load of plus or minus 70.0 PSF on a 3 x 7 single door.
8) XGT or GT series for a vandalism-prone door?
Go XGT. Both PDQ lines are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, but XGT resists 3,000 lbf-in of lever torque against 2,200 lbf-in for GT, roughly 4 times the BHMA standard, and adds a 13-gauge steel anti-rotation plate with cycle testing over 3 times the BHMA requirement. For heavy abuse, exterior entries and stairwells, XGT is the one. On a normal interior office door the GT is enough lock.
9) What lever styles and finishes does the PDQ XGT128 come in?
Three solid diecast lever designs, Philadelphia, Boston and Miami, all on 3-3/8 inch wrought brass roses with concealed screws. Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome. Note that Schlage large format IC cores are only available with the Philadelphia lever, so if you are standardizing on Schlage LFIC across a building, specify Philadelphia.
10) What options do I have to pick when ordering a PDQ XGT128?
Required selections are backset (2-3/4 or 2-3/8), strike (ASA, full lip or T-strike), lever style, finish, cylinder prep, keyway and keying. Keying runs from keyed different, 0-bitted with 2 blank keys, keyed alike in 2, 3-4 or 5-plus groups, master keyed, master keyed to existing bittings, and construction master keyed. Add-ons include tactile abrasive coating inside, outside or both sides for a hazardous-room door, lead-lined rose, dust box, split finishes, antimicrobial coating (626 only), weatherized finish (626 only), request to exit, and an industry standard Molex connector. Two keys ship per lock.
11) Can I order the XGT128 without a cylinder so I can use my own cores?
Yes. Cylinder prep choices include Less Cylinder, SFIC Prep Less Core, and Schlage LFIC Prep Less Core, so a locksmith stocking his own cores can pin and install on site. If you want cores supplied, there are SFIC preps with 6-pin or 7-pin cores, brass or plastic construction cores, and Schlage LFIC with a Schlage core or a construction core.
12) Does the XGT128 come with an electrified or monitored option?
The XGT128 itself is a mechanical lock, not an electronic one. A Request to Exit switch (REX) and an industry standard Molex connector (ISMC) can be added as ordering options if you need a signal back to an access control or monitoring panel, but the locking function remains key-operated.
13) Is there a lead-lined version of the PDQ XGT128 for an X-ray room?
Yes. A lead-lined rose (LL) is available as an ordering option on the XGT, which is what imaging and radiology openings in a healthcare facility call for. A dust box (DB) can be specified at the same time for the strike pocket.
14) Can I get the same finish on both sides of a door that changes materials?
Split finishes (SF) are available on the XGT, where you designate the outside trim finish first and the inside second, across the seven finishes offered. Antimicrobial coating and weatherized finish are both restricted to 626 satin chrome.
15) How do I write the part number for a PDQ XGT128 order?
PDQ builds the part number from the function, lever and finish. A Philadelphia lever in 605 bright brass reads XGT128PHL605D. Remaining choices such as backset, strike, keyway, keying and any coatings are specified as suffixes alongside it.
