All locks are not created equal. Medeco®
cylinders provide a high degree of security by incorporating
special design features inside each cylinder. Medeco cylinders
offer superior pick resistance, excellent resistance against
drilling and other forced attacks, large number of
combinations and a utility patent to protect against
unauthorized key duplication.
Pick Resistance
Pick resistance is accomplished through the use of
specially designed pins that must be elevated and rotated to
an exact position in order for the lock to operate. False
slots on the sides of the pins, along with mushroom shaped top
pins, and with the incorporation of the reciprocal slider
mechanism, further enhance the cylinder's pick resistance.
Drilling Resistance
To resist drilling, hardened steel inserts are used to
protect critical areas of the plug face, shell and sidebar.
Additional drill resistance is provided by hardened steel rods
inside the bottom pins and selective use of hardened steel top
pins.
Unauthorized Duplication
Protection against the unauthorized duplication of keys is
accomplished through the use of strong utility patents and
strict factory key control policies. Additional restriction on
key cutting occurs due to fact that a special key cutting must
be used at accurately reproduce the critical angled cuts on a
Medeco key.
