PDQ VP92905 IC Tailpiece for GT & GP Series Locksets (6 or 7 Pin Cores)

The PDQ VP92905 IC Tailpiece is a critical security component designed to enable Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) functionality within PDQ GT Series (Grade 1) and GP Series (Grade 2) cylindrical locksets. This precision-engineered tailpiece acts as the mechanical bridge between the 6 or 7-pin interchangeable core and the lock’s internal timing mechanism. By utilizing the VP92905, facility managers can implement a high-efficiency key management system that allows for instantaneous re-keying without disassembling the lock chassis—a vital infrastructure solution for high-turnover environments like university dormitories, healthcare facilities, and retail complexes.

Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware, this tailpiece is built to withstand the high-torque stresses associated with heavy commercial use. Whether you are upgrading an existing GT Series lever for a master key expansion or maintaining a GP Series installation, the VP92905 ensures a perfect mechanical timing and a secure, "slop-free" connection. This part is essential for any facility looking to reduce locksmith labor costs and downtime by transitioning to an SFIC-based security architecture.

SFIC Functionality: Rapid Re-Keying Solution

The Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) system, powered by the VP92905 tailpiece, is designed for administrative speed and site security.

• Non-Disruptive Maintenance: With the correct tailpiece installed, a "Control Key" can remove the cylinder core in seconds. This allows security personnel to swap locks across an entire wing without removing a single screw from the door.
• 6 or 7-Pin Versatility: The VP92905 is uniquely designed to accommodate both 6-pin and 7-pin cores. This flexibility allows facilities to scale their master key systems from standard security to complex, multi-level architectural hierarchies.
• Mechanical Synchronization: The tailpiece is calibrated to the specific "throw" requirements of the GT and GP series chassis, ensuring that the latch retracts fully and smoothly every time the key is turned.
• Lost Key Recovery: In the event of a security breach or lost master key, the VP92905-enabled locksets allow for a total perimeter re-key in minutes, significantly mitigating liability and risk.

Engineered Solutions for Commercial Access Control

The PDQ VP92905 addresses the specific operational challenges of large-scale commercial door hardware:

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): By enabling SFIC cores, this tailpiece eliminates the need for professional locksmith services for routine re-keying. The initial investment in the VP92905 pays for itself during the very first tenant turnover or lost key incident.
• Grade 1 Durability: Designed to complement the GT Series, which is tested to over 3 million cycles, this tailpiece is manufactured from high-strength materials to ensure it doesn't bend or fatigue under the high-frequency use of institutional hallways.
• Aesthetic & Functional Consistency: The tailpiece allows the GP Series (Grade 2) locks to utilize the same keying system as the GT Series (Grade 1), allowing facility managers to "value-engineer" their buildings by using lower-cost locks on medium-traffic doors while maintaining a single master key system.
• Universal SFIC Support: This tailpiece ensures that your PDQ hardware remains "open-platform," compatible with cores from Best, Falcon, Arrow, and other major SFIC manufacturers, preventing "manufacturer lock-in."
