PDQ MR200 BJEJ Grade 1 Electrified Institutional Mortise Lock - Motor-Drive Electric Access Control (Handed)
The PDQ MR200 BJEJ is an architectural-grade, Grade 1 Electrified Institutional Mortise Lock for demanding, high-traffic commercial and institutional openings. It pairs the Boston (BJ) lever -- a curved lever that sweeps toward the door -- 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 motor-driven electric access-control solution for institutional, high-security, and correctional-adjacent openings where both levers are key-operated and lever access to the latchbolt is granted or denied electrically. 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: Electrified Institutional (Electrified -- no ANSI code)
The Electrified Institutional function keeps both the inside and outside levers key-controlled, with a motor drive electrically locking or unlocking lever operation of the latchbolt (fail secure by default, field changeable to fail safe):
- Key outside retracts latchbolt.
- Key inside retracts latchbolt.
- Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt.
- Fail safe -- latchbolt operated by either lever when electrically locked.
- Fail secure -- latchbolt operated by either lever when electrically unlocked.
- Motor drive locking/unlocking.
- Not field reversible.
- Specify handing.
- Available with option: REX - Request to Exit.
Electrical Specifications
The MR200 is a MOTOR-DRIVEN electrified mortise lock (not solenoid), with the motor drive 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; drives 2 mortise lock assemblies).
- Warranty: Electric components carry a 2-Year warranty; the mechanical mortise chassis carries the MR Series Limited Lifetime warranty.
The MR200 is built on the same heavy-duty MR mortise chassis as PDQ's mechanical functions (mechanical durability rated to 11 million+ cycles) -- a figure kept distinct from the 1.4 million motor-drive electrical cycle rating above.

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.
- Electric Access Control: The motor-driven trim electrically locks or unlocks lever operation on command (fail secure by default, field changeable to fail safe); a key always provides mechanical override. The auxiliary deadlatch positively deadlocks the latchbolt against loiding.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR200 integrates easily into existing master key systems and supports Interchangeable Core (IC) for rapid re-keying.
- Anti-Sag Lever Technology: The Boston 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.
