PDQ MR215 LJEJ Grade 1 Single Cylinder Deadbolt with Dummy Trim Mortise Lock - Keyed Mortise Deadbolt, Dummy Trim
The PDQ MR215 LJEJ is an architectural-grade, Grade 1 Single Cylinder Deadbolt with Dummy Trim Mortise Lock for demanding, high-traffic commercial and institutional openings. It pairs the Los Angeles (LJ) lever -- a straight, angular lever with a beveled end -- 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 single-cylinder mortise deadbolt with fixed (dummy) lever trim for openings that need keyed-outside deadbolt security and pull-side trim but no operating latch.
This is a dummy-trim configuration: the MR Series mortise case drives a 1" throw investment-cast stainless steel deadbolt only -- there is no latchbolt. The lever trim is fixed (non-latching) and provides pull-side trim; the inside lever rotates to retract the deadbolt for egress. Security is provided entirely by the keyed mortise deadbolt seated deep in the door pocket.
Function: Single Cylinder Deadbolt with Dummy Trim
The Single Cylinder Deadbolt with Dummy Trim controls a mortise deadbolt by key outside, with the fixed lever providing pull-side trim and inside-lever egress:
- Key outside extends/retracts deadbolt.
- Rigid outside lever.
- Rotating inside lever 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 Mortise Deadbolt (Dummy Trim): A 1" throw investment-cast stainless steel deadbolt is the sole point of security -- there is no latchbolt. The lever trim is fixed (dummy); the inside lever rotates to retract the deadbolt for egress.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR215 integrates easily into existing master key systems and supports Interchangeable Core (IC) for rapid re-keying.
- 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.
