It would take gorilla-level strength to even approach the limits of this lock.

Our XGT Series lever has a 3,000 lbf-in lever torque resistance. That’s 4x the ANSI/BHMA standard. To put that in perspective: a full-grown silverback gorilla is capable of producing 2,000 lbf-in.

Apply that to standard lever handle, and you're in the neighborhood of the torque our lock is engineered to withstand.

Whatever your door has to stand up to, it won't come close to that kind of force. That's engineering you can rely on.

American-made quality isn't a claim, it's a standard we build to every day.

At PDQ, our hardware carries that standard. Engineered and tested to outperform, from design through final assembly.

That's something we strive for: when we control the whole process, we control the quality.

Built here. Backed by us. Trusted on doors across the country.

PDQ’s fast masterkeying turnaround just got faster!

Our new automated core pinning combines SFIC cores, inserts the top and bottom pins and springs, seats the cap, and engraves each core all done by a single employee, outputting 120 cores an hour!

Paired alongside our automated key cutting line which holds 1,200 keys across eight magazines, marks, notches, and rings keys automatically and cuts 450+ keys an hour.

Speed and precision, built right into the equipment on our floor.

Two new ways to know a door's status without testing it.

Introducing our new GT276 Grade 1 Indicator Lock: a heavy-duty cylindrical lock built for privacy applications.

A push button on the inside lever locks the outside lever, and the built-in occupancy indicator shows “Vacant” or “In Use” right from the outside, before anyone tries the door.

Alongside that is our new do***ng indicator options for our 6300 and 6400 Series exit devices.

Available for HEX Key and Cylinder do***ng, both provide an at-a-glance visual confirmation of a door's do***ng status, meaning that it is not needed to physically test the bar.

Two new products, one goal: giving your team the status of a door at a glance, not a guess. Full specs are in our 2026 Price Book and on our website.

Today, on National Manufacturing Day, we are proud to celebrate the industry that built this company.

From locks, exit devices, door closers, access control systems and more, we take pride in engineering and assembling our hardware right here in the USA.

We are proud to manufacture our products with the precision and purpose that meets the demands of schools, hospitals, offices, and beyond.

Manufacturing isn’t just what we do at PDQ, it’s who we are.

October is National Fire Prevention Month.

For commercial buildings, fire safety starts at the door. PDQ hardware is UL fire-rated for up to 3 hours, meaning it’s built to maintain a fire door’s rating and keep smoke and flame contained where code requires.

Fire-rated hardware isn’t optional on labeled openings; it’s a life safety requirement.

Is your building’s hardware keeping up with its doors?

When you specify door hardware for a building you're responsible for, you're not just buying a product, you're buying reliability you can stand behind for years.

That's why we build everything around three things: Speed, Value, and Ease.

Speed means fast quotes, 1-5 day shipping, and quick masterkeying turnaround, so your project timeline never stalls waiting on hardware.

Value means BHMA, UL, and BAA certified products at competitive pricing, backed by a low free freight threshold.

Ease means simplified pricing, regionalized customer and technical support, and a single manufacturing and shipping point, so there's one place to go for answers, not five.

We stand by these values to get you the high-quality hardware you need fast, in as seamless of a transition as possible.

Mortise or cylindrical? Both are legitimate ways to secure a commercial door, they just solve slightly different problems.

A mortise lock is set into a pocket cut in the door edge, our MR Series is 12-gauge cold-rolled steel and cycle-tested to more than 11 times the BHMA standard, making it a common pick for hotel guest rooms, stairwells, and other high-traffic entrances where you need latch and deadbolt in one unit.

A cylindrical lock, like our GT Series, installs faster with two bored holes and covers both Grade 1 and Grade 2, a versatile fit for office suites, classrooms, and storage rooms.

Neither one is automatically "better," they're built for different jobs, and a lot of commercial buildings end up using both. Which one is on more of your doors?

An exit device might be built for life safety first, but it's also one of the most naturally accessible ways to open a door.

ADA guidelines require hardware that doesn't need tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist, and a push-pad or panic bar exit device meets that standard by design, operable with a closed fist, a forearm, even a shoulder, not just fingers.

PDQ exit devices are built to meet both code-required egress and ADA accessibility at the same time, so the same door that gets everyone out safely in an emergency is also easy for everyone to get through on an ordinary day.

Accessibility and life safety aren't separate boxes to check, they're the same door doing both jobs.
