Medeco Cylinders
All locks are not created equal. MedecoŽ
cylinders provide a high degree of security by
incorporating special design features inside each
cylinder. Medeco cylinders offer superior pick
resistance, are virtually bump proof, offer excellent
resistance against drilling and other forced attacks,
large number of combinations and a utility patent to
protect against unauthorized key duplication.
Pick & Bump Attack Resistance
Pick and bump attack 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.
