PDQ #16 Mortise Cylinder x 1-1/8" in Brushed Chrome US26D with Cloverleaf Cam (I4201)
The PDQ 16 Series Mortise Cylinder is a professional-grade security component engineered specifically for high-performance integration with PDQ MR Series Mortise Locks. This 1-1/8" cylinder features the specialized I4201 Cloverleaf Cam, a critical hardware interface required for the precise operation of all locking functions within the MR Series chassis. Finished in US26D Satin Chrome over a solid brass housing, this cylinder provides an architecturally consistent and corrosion-resistant solution for high-traffic institutional and commercial entryways.
Designed for maximum reliability, the MR Series Cloverleaf Cylinder utilizes a 6-pin solid brass chamber (factory keyed to 5 pins) to offer superior physical protection against manipulation. Whether you are performing a new installation or a facility-wide security retrofit, this cylinder ensures a smooth, mechanical synchronization with the Grade 1 MR Series lock body. Its heavy-duty construction is built to match the 11 million cycle performance of the MR series, providing a lifetime of trouble-free operation in hospitals, schools, and government facilities.

Cloverleaf Cam (I4201) Function & Security Summary
The I4201 Cloverleaf Cam is the dedicated drive component for PDQ MR Series locks, designed to translate key rotation into secure bolt movement across dozens of diverse hardware functions.
- MR Series Optimization: This cam is the exclusive requirement for PDQ MR Series locking functions. Its unique "cloverleaf" profile provides the exact geometry needed to engage the MR Series' independent stainless steel retractor hubs.
- Positive Deadbolt Engagement: When used in functions with a deadbolt (such as the MR136 Dormitory or MR176 Privacy), the I4201 cam provides the mechanical leverage necessary to throw and retract the 1-inch stainless steel bolt with high precision.
- Security Deadlocking: The cam's design ensures that once the key is removed, the lock's internal anti-friction latchbolt and auxiliary deadlatch are fully engaged, preventing "loiding" or shimming of the lock from the exterior.
- Universal Function Support: PDQ's single-cam design means this one cylinder can be utilized across the entire MR Series range—from F07 Storeroom functions to F05 Classroom setups—simplifying inventory for facility managers.

Engineered Solutions for Facility Maintenance
This PDQ Cloverleaf Mortise Cylinder addresses the specific technical and operational needs of commercial infrastructure:
- High-Frequency Performance: Engineered to match the Grade 1 Security standards of the MR series, this cylinder is designed for millions of rotations, preventing the common "key sticking" issues found in lower-quality hardware.
- Seamless Retrofit Capability: The 1-1/8" length is the architectural standard for doors with sectional (rose) trim. It allows for a flush, professional fit that resists prying and wrenching attacks.
- Master Key Integration: Provided in the standard Schlage C (SCC) keyway, this cylinder can be easily integrated into existing facility-wide master key systems. It also supports various other keyways (Corbin, Yale, Sargent) via special order to match legacy hardware.
- Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: The US26D finish is applied to a solid brass base, making it highly resistant to the harsh cleaning agents used in healthcare environments and the atmospheric moisture of exterior-facing doors.
- Maintenance Simplification: By utilizing a standard threaded housing (1.150" x 32 UNS), this cylinder can be replaced in seconds using a standard mortise wrench, reducing labor costs during re-keying or security updates.
