PDQ MR135 MFEF Entrance/Storeroom Function Mortise Lockset - Grade 1
The PDQ MR135 MIA (often ordered as MFEF for the Miami lever on a forged F-Series escutcheon) is a premier Grade 1 Entrance/Storeroom 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 a reliable solution for main entrances, offices, and storerooms where key-controlled deadbolt security and everyday lever access are both required.
Constructed with a heavy-duty 12-gauge cold rolled steel mechanism and a 1-inch throw investment cast stainless steel deadbolt, the MR135 provides a formidable defense against unauthorized entry. The Miami (MIA) 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.
ANSI Function F21: Entrance / Storeroom
The ANSI F21 Entrance/Storeroom Function pairs an always-active latchbolt with a separately operated deadbolt, delivering key-controlled security while keeping the door readily accessible through the levers.
- Latchbolt Operation: The latchbolt is retracted by the lever from either side.
- Exterior Deadbolt Control: A key on the outside extends and retracts the deadbolt.
- Interior Deadbolt Control: A thumbturn on the inside extends and retracts the deadbolt.

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 and severe weather environments.
- Anti-Sag Lever Technology: Constant daily use leads to drooping handles. The MR Series utilizes independent, high-tension spring cartridges to ensure the Miami lever remains perfectly level throughout its multi-million cycle life.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR135 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.
