Medeco 10-0100-605 1" (1 inch)  High Security Mortise Cylinder Polished Brass Finish

Medeco® Rim and Mortise cylinders provide patented key control and UL437 Physical Security in adaptable retrofit cylinder formats.

Medeco® Mortise cylinders have threads on the outside of the shell and are designed to be screwed into other manufacturer's mortise lock cases. A cam on the back of the cylinder operates the lock mechanism and a set screw holds the mortise cylinder in place. Medeco®Rim cylinders are used with auxiliary rim locks such as: surface mounted deadbolts, night latches, panic devices and jimmyproof locks (also know as vertical dropbolts or interlocking deadbolts).

Rim cylinders are held in place with a back plate and two mounting screws.

10 series, rim and mortise cylinders, are UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, and the those that incorporate the Biaxial® design, offer utility patented key control.

Benefits:

• Utility patented key control, (for cylinders that incorporate the Medeco³design), provides protection against the unauthorized duplication of keys
• A special elevating and rotating pin tumbler design, along with false slots on the bottom pins, mushroom top pins and a sidebar mechanism, work together, to provide superior pick resistance
• Angled cuts on the keys, along with fore and aft positioning, and the reciprocal slider of the Medeco³ design, provide added dimensions that dramatically increases key combinations and enables Medeco® to produce some of the largest master key systems in the industry
• Hardened steel inserts, positioned in critical areas of the cylinder, provide a high degree of drill resistance
• Solid brass construction provides high quality and long cylinder life
• Set screw pin chamber caps allow quick and easy pinning and re-keying without the need to take the cylinder apart
• Large variety of cylinder lengths and cam/tailpiece configurations provide excellent retrofit capability and reduce the need to replace the entire locking device

Applications

• Flexible options designed to retrofit various manufacturers of Mortise and Rim locks
