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?

Confidence that you're protected so you don't have to worry about who can get into your doors. Elevating and rotating pins and a third locking element in Medeco3 provide the highest security protection against a covert attack.

The 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.

SECURITY BEGINS WITH KEY CONTROL

Medeco believes in giving customers the greatest control over their security. That's why Medeco key control programs are protected by patent, trademark and copyright laws. That means your keys may only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco dealer, and only at your request.

Many common keys carry warnings such as "Do Not Duplicate" or "Restricted," but these words have no impact without utility patents to back them up. Medeco has successfully litigated its right to protect against unauthorized manufacture and distribution of its patented, restricted keys.

LEVEL 1 — PATENTED KEY CONTROL

Medeco BiLevel cylinders offer affordable key control through patent-protected keys. They should be used in areas where protection from unauthorized duplication of keys is the only concern.

LEVEL 2 — MECHANICAL HIGH SECURITY

Medeco3 cylinders offer the same key control solutions as Medeco BiLevel, but with added protection against drilling, picking and other forms of physical attack. They should be used in areas where unauthorized duplication of keys and protection from physical attack on the cylinder are a concern.
