PDQ KT137 Double Cylinder Commercial Deadlock

Function Information:

• Lock or unlock by key from both sides
• ANSI E1141

The PDQ KT137 is an ultra-secure Double Cylinder Deadlock engineered for high-risk commercial environments where unauthorized exit or entry must be strictly controlled. Designed for maximum physical resistance, this heavy-duty deadlock provides a secondary layer of protection for storefronts with glass inserts, warehouse gates, and high-security partitions.

The KT Series is built with a reinforced zinc diecast rose and a wrought brass scalp, offering an institutional-grade solution that fits standard 161 door preparations. The US26D Satin Chrome finish provides a professional, architectural look that resists the wear and tear of high-traffic commercial use.

ANSI E1141 Function Summary: Double Sided Keyed Security

The ANSI E1141 (Double Cylinder) function is designed for maximum perimeter security, requiring a key for operation from both the interior and exterior.

• Exterior Operation: The deadbolt is thrown or retracted by a key from the outside.
• Interior Operation: The deadbolt is thrown or retracted by a key from the inside.
  
• Security Logic: This function is specifically intended for doors with glass lites or adjacent windows. By requiring a key on the inside, it prevents an intruder from breaking the glass and reaching in to manually turn a thumbturn to unlock the door.
• Safety Note: Due to life-safety codes, Double Cylinder Deadlocks should only be used on rooms with more than one exit or in specific high-security applications where occupants are not at risk of being locked inside during an emergency.

Technical Specifications

Solutions for High-Risk Commercial Security

The PDQ KT Series deadbolt is precision-engineered to address the most common physical security vulnerabilities:

• Saw-Resistant Deadbolt: The 1" throw brass bolt contains two concealed 1/4" case-hardened steel roll pins. If an intruder attempts to saw through the deadbolt, these pins spin freely, frustrating the attack and keeping the door locked.
• Vandal-Resistant Housing: Reinforced zinc diecast roses provide a high-strength anchor for the lock cylinders, protecting the internal mechanism against prying and wrenching attempts.
• Versatile Retrofit Design: Engineered to fit both 1-7/8" and 2-1/8" bores, the KT137 is a "drop-in" solution for standard commercial door preps, making it an ideal choice for facility-wide security upgrades.
• Custom Keying Compatibility: While supplied with the industry-standard Schlage C (SCC) keyway, the KT Series can be ordered in keyways from most major manufacturers, allowing you to integrate these high-security deadbolts into your existing master key system.
  
• Buy American Act Compliance: Assembled in the USA, this hardware meets the strict domestic sourcing requirements for federal, municipal, and military contracts.
