FAQs
What is a tubular lock and how does the TJ Series differ from PDQ's mortise locks?
A tubular lock installs through two cross-bores in the door face rather than a pocket cut into the door edge, making it a simpler, lighter-duty installation than a mortise lock. The TJ Series is built for non-keyed interior functions and is styled to coordinate visually with PDQ's MR Series mortise lock for a consistent look across a building.
What functions does the TJ Series tubular lock offer?
TJ is available in Communicating, Passage, Privacy, Double Dummy, and Single Dummy functions (there's no keyed entry function), making it suited to interior doors like closets, restrooms, connecting rooms, and passage doors, or as dummy trim on inactive door leaves.
What is the "communicating" function used for on the TJ lock?
Communicating function is used on doors that connect two adjoining rooms, such as hotel connecting rooms, letting either side lock the door independently from its own room without a shared key.
Is the TJ tubular lock ADA compliant?
Yes, it complies with the ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1 accessibility standards.
What warranty applies to the TJ Series?
PDQ backs the TJ Series with a 5-year limited warranty, except on the ball knob lever option.
Can I match TJ tubular lock levers to my PDQ mortise locksets?
Yes, TJ offers the same 10 lever styles as the MR Series mortise lock (Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, and others), so a project can use TJ trim on interior passage/privacy doors and MR mortise locks on exterior or fire-rated doors with a matching lever design throughout.
