| The
Next Generation is here! Medeco's
newest generation of product, Medeco3, is now available.
The patent on their Biaxial technology will expire in Canada
in 2007 - due to Medeco's exemplary key control program, that
isn't necessarily a great concern, but they have come back with
a new product and a new patent all the same. Raising the
bar once again, the Medeco3 high security line incorporates
features such as: triple locking mechanism to enhance
pick resistance, UL437 listed for resistance to physical attack,
thicker keys for higher security and less breakage, plus
a whole new line of residential hardware and beautiful finishes.
All
locks are not created equal... Medeco®
cylinders provide a high degree of security by incorporating
special design features inside each cylinder. Medeco cylinders
offer superior pick resistance, excellent resistance against
drilling and other forced attacks, a large number of combinations
and a utility patent to protect against unauthorized key duplication.
Pick
Resistance
Pick 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. People attempting to
have a Medeco key reproduced must provide proof that they are
the owner of the key system. Additional restriction on
key cutting occurs due to the fact that a special key cutting
machine must be used to accurately reproduce the critical angled
cuts on a Medeco key.
