Service Relationship


Patented lock technology is an important factor in your security. A weak patent can be overturned, allowing other companies to use the same technology. This makes it more likely that keys made by other companies will fit your locks.


Retrofitting: No Loss of Investment

Medeco® has engineered cylinders and high security hardware to retrofit most popular locksets, so institutions can maintain their initial investment and still obtain a higher level of security. Medeco cylinders retrofit more manufacturers' hardware than any other high security product line, ultimately reducing security costs.
Medeco offers two different lock technologies to meet most security needs. Both offer patented key control and can easily be upgraded to Electronic Access Control by using Medeco's exclusive SiteKey®.

High Security Cylinders
Medeco's Biaxial® locks have earned a UL437 listing, providing pick and drill resistance and utility patented key control. The Biaxial lock design combines several unique features to create a high security lock that is virtually pick-proof.

Biaxial keys must be cut on a special machine to precisely duplicate angled cuts, preventing mass duplication. With additional measures, such as the ability to elevate and rotate tumbler pins and hardened steel inserts in critical sections of the lockface and sidebar, Medeco Biaxial locks provide exceptional security against physical attack. All Biaxial installations can be upgraded to electronic access control.

Patent Protected Cylinders
KeyMark® offers utility patented key control without the physical pick and drill resistance of Biaxial. The patented Security Leg® keyway gives the key blank its unique shape and provides a high level of security by protecting against unauthorized duplicate keys in your system and provides some resistance to picking. KeyMark cylinders will fit into most common locks as well as Best style interchangeable core installations.
