Key Switch Wide with Lights

PDQ's wide key switch has built-in status indicator lights on the faceplate that show the current lock condition at a glance, so staff or security don't have to test the door handle. This is a feature the narrow key switch does not include, making the wide version the choice when visual lock-state confirmation is required.

The wide key switch is sized for wider door stiles (typically hollow metal doors) and adds integrated status indicator lights, while the narrow version is a lights-free switch built for narrow-stile aluminum framing. Pick the wide version when the door prep is wide-stile or when a visual lock indicator is needed.

Yes, it's offered as momentary (81310-2MT), which releases the contact once the key returns to center, or maintained (81310-2MM), which holds the switched state until the key is turned again. Momentary suits pulse-release applications; maintained suits toggled access control.

Yes, the cylinder can be keyed into a facility's master key system, so one key operates the switch along with other PDQ mechanical and electrified hardware. This keeps key control centralized for facility managers overseeing multiple entrances.

It's used to manually operate electric strikes, magnetic locks, or exit devices on wide-stile doors from a keyed switch, with the added indicator lights giving security personnel or front-desk staff instant visual confirmation of lock status without needing to check the door in person.
