PDQ MR114 DJSJ Grade 1 Hold Back Double Cylinder Mortise Lock - Keyed Hold-Back Security (Handed)
The PDQ MR114 DJSJ is an architectural-grade, Grade 1 Hold Back Double Cylinder Mortise Lock for demanding, high-traffic commercial and institutional openings. It pairs the Dallas (DJ) lever -- a curved lever with a rounded return -- on a J-Series Sectional (round rose) in a US32D (630) Satin Stainless finish, and is engineered to exceed the rigorous standards of BHMA Series 1000. It suits corridor, stairwell, and service openings that need key control from both the inside and the outside, with a rigid outside lever and a latch that can be held retracted for controlled free passage. This is a handed function and is not field reversible. Its "return-to-door" design is ADA compliant and helps prevent clothing, bags, or straps from snagging on the hardware in busy corridors.
Built to withstand punishing institutional use, the MR Series drives a 3/4" throw anti-friction stainless steel latchbolt with an auxiliary deadlatch from a heavy-gauge steel case seated deep in the door pocket -- providing significantly higher forced-entry protection than standard cylindrical locks, the industry standard for schools, hospitals, and government offices.
Function: Hold Back Double Cylinder
The Hold Back (Double Cylinder) Function keeps the outside lever rigid, retracts the latchbolt with an outside key, and lets an inside key hold the latchbolt back when the inside lever retracts it:
- Latchbolt operated by lever from inside.
- Key outside retracts latchbolt.
- Rigid outside lever.
- Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt.
- Key inside secures latchbolt when latchbolt is retracted by inside lever.
- Not field reversible.
- Specify handing.

High-Performance Solutions for Building Security
The PDQ MR Series Mortise Lock addresses the most demanding commercial infrastructure challenges:
- Maximum Forced Entry Resistance: The steel case fits deep into the door pocket, providing superior resistance against "kick-in" attacks and physical tampering versus single-point cylindrical locks.
- Positive Deadlatching: The auxiliary deadlatch engages when the door closes, deadlocking the latchbolt against "loiding" or shim attacks against the bolt.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR114 integrates easily into existing master key systems and supports Interchangeable Core (IC) for rapid re-keying.
- Anti-Sag Lever Technology: The Dallas lever is supported by an independent, high-tension spring cartridge that returns the handle to a level horizontal position every time.
- Vandal-Resistant Engineering: The trim features a break-away spindle design; extreme torque or a hammer attack breaks the spindle without compromising the internal locking mechanism.
- Architectural Integration: The Satin Stainless (US32D) base finish offers a clean, professional appearance and excellent corrosion resistance; premium finishes (605, 606, 612, 613E, 622, 629) are also available.
Finish availability: This J-Series lockset is offered in 630 (US32D Satin Stainless) as the base finish, plus premium architectural finishes 605, 606, 612, 613E, 622, 629. It is not offered in 626 (626 is an F-Series finish).

Handing: This is a handed function and is Not Field Reversible. The lock is built to a specific door hand at the factory. Specify the door hand when ordering -- LH (LHR) or RH (RHR). Refer to the diagram above to determine the hand of your door.
