PDQ
MSRP $581.00
At the core of any grade 1 lock buying decision, beyond what/who you are protecting, is durability, and cost. Many times you must sacrifice durability for cost, or vice versa. Not so with ANSI grade 1 locks by PDQ. US made, this line of grade 1 door locks gives you the best in security, durability, and cost. The XGT Spirit is the extremely heavy duty model, able to withstand over 3,000 in. lbs. of torque resistance on its lever trim. This is simply unheard of for grade 1 cylindrical door locks, just ask any locksmith or trade professional in this industry. PDQ has also solved the lever issue. Up to now, manufacturers have touted their break away clutch levers as the end all be all way to head off damage to the lock. Typically an attack on a lock is from applying physical leverage on the handle. The problem with this, is many of the clutch designed door locks rotate to an angle which actually increases the ability to apply force, snapping off the trim and busting the latch which makes the lock inoperable. PDQ's grade 1 door locks feature an industry leading chassis, spindle, and trim design which cannot be matched. The lever on the XGT doesn't budge or sag when locked, and should anyone attempt to compromise this lock by forcing the lever, they would need in excess of 3000 in. lbs to move it. In a challenging, or abusive door setting, you can run through several replacements of locks in a month, sometimes a week. This is unnecessary, costly, and can be prevented by choosing the PDQ ANSI grade 1 XGT. When someone goes to the door to grab this lock's handle, they will know 100% the door is locked, and because of the genius in engineering, the lever only needs to be rotated a mere 41° for full retraction of the latch. Again, totally unheard of.
Independent testing confirms 3000 in. lbs. of torque resistance. Additionally, XGT tests to more than 4 Million cycles (more than 5 times the BHMA Grade 1 requirement) with virtually no lever sag Download XGT Series Spec Sheet
