Type of Medeco locks

Medeco has become one of the most common security applications available in the family home and businesses and is widely used to provide a high level of security with 3 main types of Medeco locks:

1. Single cylinder - The outside of the lock accept a key, but the inside is operated by a twist knob.
2. Double cylinder - Key is being used to lock/unlock both sides and therefore do not require any twist knob.
3. Vertical medeco - Resist lock picking by covering the gap between the jamb and the door frame and make it hard for intruder to insert a pry bar and jimmying the lock.

Medeco key duplication

The security level of a lock is dependent upon two main factors: the physical strength against drilling or picking and the control over key duplication. Unauthorized key copy can play a cardinal role in risking even the most sophisticated security locking systems, therefore Medeco has developed a key duplication platform in which unauthorized keys copy is being eliminated by doing three things:

1. Medeco keys must be made on unique key cutting machines equipped with special key clamps/vise assemblies capable of reproducing angles cuts in necessary tolerances to produce a workable key.
2. Medeco sells its high quality, locks, keys and precision cutting machines only to security professionals such as locksmiths, locksmith distributors, and hardware contractors and suppliers. Each key blank is marked with an ID as an authorized key that will work properly with Medeco products and give records of key duplication history for a specific lock.
3. Medeco has successfully enforce its right to eliminate unauthorized manufacturing and distribution of its bounded key blanks.

To achieve this goal, Medeco has developed and maintains a key control system in which each lock is assigned to a unique card (in the shape of a credit card). In order to cut additional keys, the end-user must specify their card to a patriot dealer to swipe through a Medeco card reader, connect with the Medeco factory server to verify the authorization card and send back the cutting information, so the locksmith can make the key.
