PDQ MR199A PFSF Electrified Storeroom Function Mortise Lockset - Grade 1

The PDQ MR199A PHL (often ordered as PFSF for the Philadelphia lever on an F-Series Sectional (round rose, wrought trim)) is a premier Grade 1 Electrified 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 motor-driven electrified mortise lockset is built for access-controlled storerooms, computer rooms, stairwell towers, and similar openings, and integrates with building access-control and power supplies.
Constructed with a heavy-duty 12-gauge cold rolled steel mechanism, the MR199A provides a formidable defense against unauthorized entry. The Philadelphia (PHL) 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: Electrified Storeroom (Electrified, no ANSI code)
The Electrified Storeroom function admits entry by key from the outside and free egress by the inside lever, with the outside trim electrically locked or unlocked by a motor drive (fail secure by default, field changeable to fail safe):
- Key outside retracts latchbolt.
- Latchbolt operated by lever from inside.
- Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt.
- Fail safe -- latchbolt operated by lever from outside unless electrically locked.
- Fail secure -- latchbolt operated by lever from outside when electrically unlocked.
- Motor drive locking/unlocking.
- Not field reversible.
- Specify handing.
- Available with option: REX - Request to Exit.
Electrical Specifications
The MR199A is a MOTOR-DRIVEN electrified mortise lock (not solenoid), factory tested to over 1.4 million cycles (nearly 3x the ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standard). The SMARTSENSE control board automatically accepts AC or DC input voltage.
- Fail Secure (Factory Default): Outside trim is UNLOCKED when power is ON and LOCKED when power is OFF; the lockset locks in the event of a power failure.
- Fail Safe (Field Changeable): Outside trim is LOCKED when power is ON and UNLOCKED when power is OFF; the lockset unlocks in the event of a power failure. Field changeable from Fail Secure to Fail Safe.
- Input Voltage: 12-24VDC or 12-24VAC (60Hz).
- Max Inrush Current: 1.0A.
- Standby Current: 12VDC 3mA / 24VDC 5mA / 12VAC 12mA / 24VAC 10mA.
- Operating Voltage Tolerance: +/-10% of rated voltage.
- Options: Request to Exit (REX) and Latch Bolt Monitor (LM) available.
- Recommended Power Supply: PS220 (110-120VAC 60Hz input; 24VDC 2A filtered/regulated output).
Warranty: Electric components carry a 2-Year warranty; the mechanical mortise chassis carries the MR Series Limited Lifetime warranty.

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 Philadelphia lever remains perfectly level throughout its multi-million cycle life.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR199A 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.

Handing: This mortise lockset 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.
