A LOCKING SYSTEM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS KEY CONTROL.

The next time you need a key duplicated, consider the risk of a security system that has no key control protection. If your keys are easy to copy, chances are the lock itself may be inadequate.

An effective key control plan is essential to a Medeco system. Our key control programs allow you to choose the level of key duplication protection and convenience that's right for you. If you're investing in a security system for your home, business or institution, Medeco allows you to control who has your keys.

WHAT IS HIGH SECURITY?

Medeco3 High Security Mechanical Cylinders offer pick resistance and use strategically placed hardened inserts to thwart drilling attacks.

The BHMA and UL 437 listing on Medeco3 cylinders means that it has been tested and proven to withstand many forms of physical attack, including picking, drilling and bumping.

HERE'S WHY MEDECO IS THE ULTIMATE IN HIGH SECURITY

Medeco believes in giving customers the greatest control over their security. You want to know that you control who has keys to your home or business. That's why Medeco locks are built smarter—starting with protection against unauthorized key duplication.

Confidence that you're protected against lock picking and bumping means you don't have to worry about who can get in your doors. Elevating and rotating pins and a third locking element in Medeco3 are features that provide the high security that protects against covert attacks.

Of course, a high security lock must be strong and resist physical compromise. Medeco's UL 437 listing means that it has been tested and proven to withstand many forms of physical attack.
