Medeco 11R53 Maxum M3 Double Cylinder Deadbolt with Captive Key, DL Keyway — UL 437 & ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Certified
The Medeco 11R53 Maxum M3 Double Cylinder Deadbolt is a premium high-security deadbolt engineered to exceed UL 437 standards and achieve ANSI/BHMA A156.36 Grade 1 certification, delivering unmatched protection for residential homes, apartments, condominiums, and light commercial entrances. Featuring patent-pending Medeco 4 (M3) technology with a movable element in the key, this deadbolt prevents unauthorized key duplication — including 3D printed copies — while a hardened 1" steel bolt and heavy-gauge tubular steel housing defend against crowbar, ice-pick, wrench, picking, drilling, bumping, and kicking attacks. Designed to fit doors 1-3/8" to 2-1/2" thick with a 2-1/8" crossbore and 1" edge bore (ANSI A115.13), the Maxum M3 integrates seamlessly into new and existing door preparations. The Captive Key configuration allows thumbturn operation when occupied and converts to a secure double-cylinder mode when not in use.

- Hardened 1" Steel Bolt & Heavy-Gauge Tubular Steel Housing: Solid brass and steel construction resists crowbar, ice-pick, and wrench attacks for long-term security integrity.
- Captive Key Configuration: Allows thumbturn operation when the space is occupied and converts to a secure double-cylinder deadbolt when not in use, offering flexible access control.
