PDQ MR128 BFSF Institution with Deadbolt Function Mortise Lockset - Grade 1

The PDQ MR128 BSN (often ordered as BFSF for the Boston lever on an F-Series Sectional (round rose, wrought trim)) is a premier Grade 1 Institution with Deadbolt Function Mortise Lockset engineered for demanding commercial environments. While typical commercial locks are rated for one million cycles, the PDQ MR Series is tested to over 11 million cycles -- extending the hardware lifespan by 11 times the industry standard. This lockset is engineered for institutional and high-security openings that require key control from both sides together with an independent, key-operated deadbolt.
Constructed with a heavy-duty 12-gauge cold rolled steel mechanism and a 1-inch throw investment cast stainless steel deadbolt, the MR128 provides a formidable defense against unauthorized entry. The Boston (BSN) lever offers a clean, architectural aesthetic in a US26D Satin Chrome finish. Its "return-to-door" design is not only ADA compliant but also serves as a safety solution by preventing clothing, bags, or straps from snagging on the hardware in busy corridors.
Function: Institution with Deadbolt
The Institution with Deadbolt function keeps both levers rigid and controls the latchbolt and deadbolt by key from both sides:
- Key outside retracts latchbolt.
- Key inside retracts latchbolt.
- Key outside extends/retracts deadbolt.
- Key inside extends/retracts deadbolt.
- Rigid outside lever.
- Rigid inside lever.
- Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt.

Engineered Solutions for Commercial Security
The PDQ MR Series addresses the specific technical and safety challenges of modern facilities:
- Vandal-Resistant Spindle: The "weakened spindle" design is a critical security solution. If the exterior lever is subjected to extreme torque or a hammer attack, the spindle breaks cleanly to prevent damage to the internal 12-gauge steel case, keeping the lock secure.
- Extreme Weather Durability: Certified for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) with a design load rating of +/- 70.0 PSF, this lockset provides the structural integrity necessary for coastal buildings.
- Anti-Sag Lever Technology: The MR Series utilizes independent, high-tension spring cartridges to ensure the Boston lever remains perfectly level throughout its multi-million cycle life.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR128 integrates easily into existing master key systems. It also supports Interchangeable Core (IC) options for rapid re-keying.
- Fire Safety Compliance: With a UL 3-hour fire rating, this lockset ensures that commercial doors remain a reliable fire and smoke barrier, protecting occupants and property.
