Medeco 12028006-13-G3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 12028006-13-G3 cylinder plug fit any Medeco deadbolt?
No. The 12028006-13-G3 plug is built for the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt only, and Captive models are excluded. If your deadbolt is a Captive Maxum or any other Medeco line, this plug is the wrong part. Match the deadbolt family first, then the keyway.
2) What keyway and pin count does this Medeco Maxum replacement plug use, and will my existing keys work?
It is a Biaxial plug with a 6-pin configuration in the Medeco G3 restricted keyway. Your existing keys only operate it if they are cut on the same G3 Biaxial keyway and the plug is pinned to your combination. A locksmith with your key records pins it to the existing system; out of the box it will not match another keyway.
3) Am I buying a whole cylinder or just the plug?
Just the plug. This is the OEM replacement plug for the Maxum Deadbolt cylinder, not a complete cylinder assembly, so you reuse the existing shell and hardware. Plan on pinning it yourself or having a locksmith do it.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K66 rim cylinder plug an equivalent to the Medeco 12028006-13-G3?
No. The Medeco 12028006-13-G3 is a cylinder plug made specifically for the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt (except Captive models), with Biaxial 6-pin construction and the restricted G3 keyway. The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a 3000 series rim cylinder plug, so it belongs to a rim cylinder housing and a different keying system entirely. Swapping one for the other will not fit the Maxum deadbolt cylinder and would not carry the Medeco patented key control.
5) What should I use if I am rebuilding a mortise cylinder rather than a Maxum deadbolt?
For a mortise cylinder rebuild, the Corbin Russwin 121K11 plug-only parts apply - the 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 are Grade 1 1000 Series mortise cylinder plugs supplied as the plug alone, differing in keyway designation (D2 versus L4). The Medeco 12028006-13-G3 is not a mortise cylinder part; it is built for the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt cylinder with Biaxial 6-pin and G3 keyway.
6) Is the Medeco G3 keyway restricted, and does that affect who can cut keys for this plug?
Yes. G3 is a restricted Medeco keyway with patented key control, so key blanks and duplication are limited to authorized channels under a key management program. That is the point of specifying it in schools, hospitals, and government buildings, but it does mean you need an authorized dealer or your existing Medeco program to cut and pin keys.
7) I need a plug for a Corbin Russwin cylinder, not Medeco. What should I look at instead?
The Medeco plug will not go into a Corbin Russwin housing. For Corbin Russwin, the 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 are Grade 1 1000 Series mortise cylinder plugs, and the 253K66 is the 3000 Series rim cylinder plug. Pick by whether the cylinder in your door is mortise or rim.
8) Can I standardize a facility on Corbin Russwin plugs instead of the Medeco 12028006-13-G3?
Only where the hardware matches. The Corbin Russwin options cover different housings - 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 for 1000 Series mortise cylinders, 253K66 for 3000 rim cylinders - so they suit mortise and rim openings, not Medeco Maxum deadbolts. Doors already fitted with a Medeco Maxum Deadbolt on a G3 restricted keyway need the Medeco 12028006-13-G3 plug to stay on the existing key system; mixing in a Corbin Russwin plug would create a second, separate keyway in the building.
9) What does Medeco Biaxial actually do differently from a standard pin tumbler cylinder?
Biaxial pins both rotate and elevate, so the key has to lift each pin to the right height and twist it to the right angle. That second axis is what raises pick and manipulation resistance over a conventional cylinder, and it is preserved when you replace the plug with the matching OEM part rather than a generic one.
10) What finish is the Medeco 12028006-13-G3 plug, and will it match my other bronze hardware?
Factory Oil Rubbed Bronze, listed as Medeco finish 13 and sold as 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed. It is the standard dark oil-rubbed bronze used across commercial door hardware, so it reads consistently with other 613 trim on the opening. It is the only finish offered on this plug.
11) I need an Oil Rubbed Bronze plug to match my other hardware - do the Corbin Russwin plugs offer that finish?
The Medeco 12028006-13-G3 is supplied in 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, a factory-applied finish that reads as a dark bronze against surrounding trim. The Corbin Russwin comparables are identified by function rather than finish: 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 as 1000 Series mortise cylinder plugs, 253K66 as a 3000 rim cylinder plug. If the visible plug face has to match dark bronze trim on a Maxum deadbolt, the Medeco part is the one that arrives already finished that way.
12) Is this plug suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential part?
It is classified commercial. The Maxum deadbolt plug is specified in office buildings, schools with restricted keyway programs, healthcare, government facilities, multi-tenant residential, retail, and warehouse access zones, which is where the G3 key control earns its keep.
