PDQ MR139 TJEJ Grade 1 Closet / Storeroom Mortise Lock - Keyed Deadbolt Security
The PDQ MR139 TJEJ is an architectural-grade, Grade 1 Closet / Storeroom Mortise Lock for demanding, high-traffic commercial and institutional openings. It pairs the Memphis (TJ) lever -- a contoured, sculpted lever -- on a J-Series Escutcheon in a US32D (630) Satin Stainless finish, and is engineered to exceed the rigorous standards of BHMA Series 1000. It is a practical solution for closets, storerooms, and utility rooms where the latch stays operable from either side while a keyed deadbolt secures the opening. 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 1" throw investment-cast stainless steel deadbolt and a 3/4" anti-friction stainless latchbolt 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: Closet / Storeroom
The Closet / Storeroom function operates the latchbolt from either side and adds a key-controlled deadbolt for securing the opening:
- Latchbolt operated by lever from either side.
- Key outside extends/retracts deadbolt.

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.
- Keyed Deadbolt Security: A 1" throw investment-cast stainless steel deadbolt, keyed to the exterior, adds a dedicated second point of security beyond the latchbolt.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR139 integrates easily into existing master key systems and supports Interchangeable Core (IC) for rapid re-keying.
- Anti-Sag Lever Technology: The Memphis 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 mortise lockset is furnished with a directional (handed) lever and is Not Field Reversible. Specify the door hand when ordering -- LH (LHR) or RH (RHR). Refer to the diagram above to determine the hand of your door.
