Medeco 12028006-22-G3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lock does the Medeco 12028006-22-G3 cylinder plug fit?
It is a replacement plug for the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt platform, with one exception: Captive models are not covered. If the deadbolt you are servicing is a Captive Maxum, this plug is not the right part.
2) Will a Medeco G3 keyway plug work with my existing Medeco keys?
Only if your system is already on the G3 keyway. The 12028006-22-G3 is cut for Medeco's G3 restricted keyway, so keys from a different Medeco keyway family will not enter or turn it. Check the keyway stamped on your current system before ordering, since a keyway mismatch is the most common reason a plug swap fails.
3) Can I rekey this Medeco plug into an existing master key system?
Yes, within a G3 Biaxial system. The plug is a 6-pin Biaxial configuration, which gives the combination range Medeco master keying relies on, and it pins up the same way as the original Maxum plug. A locksmith with G3 authorization and Biaxial pins can key it to your existing top master.
4) Can a Corbin Russwin 253K66 rim cylinder plug be used in place of the Medeco 12028006-22-G3?
No. The Medeco 12028006-22-G3 is a cylinder plug built for the Maxum Deadbolt platform (except Captive) with Biaxial 6-pin construction and a G3 keyway, so it is keyed and fitted to Medeco cylinders. The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a 3000 rim cylinder plug, meaning it serves a rim cylinder housing in the Corbin Russwin 3000 line rather than a Medeco deadbolt cylinder. They are plugs for different cylinder bodies and different key systems, so one does not drop into the other.
5) What is the equivalent plug if the cylinder in the door is a mortise cylinder rather than a Medeco Maxum deadbolt?
The Medeco 12028006-22-G3 plug is made for the Maxum Deadbolt cylinder, not a mortise cylinder body. For a mortise application, Corbin Russwin offers the 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4, both Grade 1 1000 Series mortise cylinder plugs sold as plug only. The two differ by keyway designation, D2 versus L4, so the choice follows the key system already in the building.
6) What is Biaxial and why does it matter on a deadbolt plug?
Biaxial pins have to be both elevated to the right height and rotated to the right angle before the plug turns, rather than just elevated like a standard pin tumbler. That second axis is what gives Medeco its pick resistance. Swapping in a non-Biaxial plug on a Maxum would drop the opening back to standard pin tumbler security.
7) I need a plug for a mortise or rim cylinder, not a deadbolt. Is this the right part?
No. The 12028006-22-G3 is a Maxum Deadbolt plug. For a mortise cylinder plug, Corbin Russwin's 121K11 1000 Series plug-only parts are the equivalent item, and for a rim cylinder the Corbin Russwin 253K66 3000 Rim Cylinder Plug is the rim-format part. Those are Corbin Russwin keyways, not Medeco G3, so they suit a different key system.
8) Is the plug retainer included with this Medeco replacement plug?
What you are buying is the cylinder plug itself, a replacement part, not a full cylinder assembly or a retainer kit. Plan on reusing the deadbolt's existing hardware, and source pins and springs separately for the keying. Retainers are sold as their own item in this category, such as the Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 plug retainer on the Corbin side.
9) Is the Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 the same kind of part as the Medeco 12028006-22-G3?
No, and it is a common mix-up because both carry cylinder plug wording. The Medeco 12028006-22-G3 is the plug itself, the rotating pinned core that accepts the key, with Biaxial 6-pin construction and a G3 keyway. The Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 is a Grade 1 cylinder plug retainer, the piece that holds a plug in place. A retainer will not re-key or replace a worn plug.
10) For a facility standardizing on one restricted key system, how does the Medeco 12028006-22-G3 differ from the Corbin Russwin 121K11 plugs?
The Medeco 12028006-22-G3 uses the Medeco G3 keyway with Biaxial pin tumbler technology, where the key must align pins both vertically and rotationally, and it is a commercial-rated replacement part for the Maxum Deadbolt platform. The Corbin Russwin 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 are Grade 1 1000 Series mortise cylinder plugs supplied as plug only, in D2 and L4 keyway designations. Standardizing means picking one family, since a plug from one system cannot be keyed to the other.
11) What finish does the Medeco 12028006 Maxum plug come in?
Flat Black Coated, listed as finish 622. That is the only finish offered on this plug, so if your deadbolt is satin chrome or bronze the visible plug face will read black once installed.
12) Is this plug suitable for a high-traffic commercial building?
It is classified as a commercial part, and the typical uses are exactly that: office buildings, schools, hospitals, government and financial facilities running restricted key control programs. For a facility standardizing on Medeco G3, keeping OEM plugs on hand is how you keep the key system intact through turnover and rekeys.
13) Do I need to be a Medeco dealer to buy and key this plug?
The plug arrives as a genuine Medeco component on a restricted G3 keyway. Key blanks and duplication on G3 are controlled, so the practical path is a locksmith or integrator with G3 authorization on your system. The plug itself is the OEM part for the Maxum, so it preserves the original security level of the installation when it goes back in.
