PDQ MR241 BFEF Storeroom with Deadbolt w/Indicator Function Mortise Lockset - Grade 1
The PDQ MR241 BSN (often ordered as BFEF for the Boston lever on a forged F-Series escutcheon) is a premier Grade 1 Storeroom with Deadbolt w/Indicator 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. It suits storerooms and secured supply rooms where the outside lever is always locked and entry is by key.
Constructed with a heavy-duty 12-gauge cold rolled steel mechanism and a 1-inch throw investment cast stainless steel deadbolt, the MR241 adds a security status indicator to the trusted MR function. The Boston (BSN) lever offers a clean, architectural aesthetic in a US32D Satin Stainless finish. Its "return-to-door" design is not only ADA compliant but also prevents clothing, bags, or straps from snagging on the hardware in busy corridors.
Function: Storeroom with Deadbolt w/Indicator
The Storeroom with Deadbolt w/Indicator function operates the latchbolt from the inside lever, admits entry by key outside, adds a keyed deadbolt with an independent inside thumbturn, gives single-motion egress, and shows a LOCKED/UNLOCKED status on the outside:
- Latchbolt operated by lever from inside.
- Key outside retracts latchbolt.
- Key outside extends/retracts deadbolt.
- Rigid outside lever.
- Inside lever simultaneously retracts latchbolt and deadbolt.
- Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt.
- Thumbturn inside extends/contracts deadbolt but doesn't effect outside lever.
- Indicator, outside -- (LOCKED/UNLOCKED).
Finish availability: This indicator function is not offered in 626 (US26D Satin Chrome). The base finish is 630 (US32D Satin Stainless), with premium architectural finishes (605, 606, 612, 613E, 622, 629) also available.

Engineered Solutions for Commercial Security
The PDQ MR Series addresses the specific technical and safety challenges of modern facilities:
- Security Status Indicator: The outside indicator window reads LOCKED / UNLOCKED, which lets staff and occupants confirm at a glance whether the opening is secured.
- 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.
- Simplified Key Management: Provided with a Schlage C (SCC) compatible cylinder, the MR241 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.
