Medeco 12028006-24-G3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 12028006-24-G3 plug fit any Medeco Maxum deadbolt?
It fits the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt, with one exception: Captive configurations are excluded. On a standard Maxum it is a factory-fit replacement plug, no modification needed. If the deadbolt you're working on is a Captive Maxum, this is the wrong part.
2) What keyway and pin count does this Medeco replacement plug come in?
Six-pin Biaxial, cut to the G3 keyway. G3 is a restricted Medeco profile, so keys for it have to come through Medeco's controlled channel. Your existing keys will only work if the system they were cut on is also 6-pin Biaxial G3 and the plug is pinned to that bitting.
3) Is this a whole cylinder or just the plug?
Plug only. It's the rotating core that carries the pin chambers and the keyway, supplied as a replacement part for re-keying or repairing an existing Maxum deadbolt cylinder, not a complete cylinder assembly.
4) Is the Corbin Russwin 253K66 rim cylinder plug an equivalent replacement for a Medeco Maxum deadbolt plug?
No. The Medeco 12028006-24-G3 is a cylinder plug built specifically for the Medeco Maxum Deadbolt (except Captive configurations), with Biaxial 6-pin construction and the restricted G3 keyway. The Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a 3000 Series rim cylinder plug, a different lock platform entirely. If the opening is a Maxum deadbolt, the Medeco plug is the part that fits; the 253K66 is the part to specify when the hardware in the door is a Corbin Russwin 3000 rim cylinder.
5) What does Medeco Biaxial mean compared to a standard pin tumbler cylinder?
Biaxial keys are cut to both an angle and a depth, not depth alone. The pins have to rotate as well as lift before the plug turns, which is what gives it its pick resistance and makes unauthorized duplication harder than on a conventional cylinder.
6) I need a plug for a mortise or rim cylinder, not a Maxum deadbolt. What else is there?
This Medeco plug is deadbolt-specific, so look elsewhere for those. For a mortise cylinder plug, Corbin Russwin's 1000 Series 121K11 plugs (D2 and L4 keyway versions) are plug-only parts. For a rim application, the Corbin Russwin 253K66 is a 3000 rim cylinder plug. There's also the Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 plug retainer if the retainer is what failed. Note these are standard Corbin Russwin cylinders, not Biaxial high-security.
7) Can I get keys cut locally for a Medeco G3 plug?
No. G3 is a proprietary, restricted Medeco keyway, and key cutting is controlled by Medeco. That restriction is the point of the system, it's what stops copies being made at a hardware counter, so plan on ordering keys through the Medeco channel that holds your key records.
8) Does the Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 do the same job as the Medeco 12028006-24-G3?
No, they are different classes of part. The Medeco 12028006-24-G3 is the plug itself, the keyed core that carries the Biaxial 6-pin arrangement and G3 keyway. The Corbin Russwin 219F88-8 is a Grade 1 cylinder plug retainer, the small component that holds a plug in place. Ordering the retainer when the plug is what needs replacing leaves the job incomplete.
9) If I do not need restricted key control, is there a simpler plug option than the Medeco G3?
Yes. The Medeco 12028006-24-G3 carries a proprietary, Medeco-controlled G3 keyway that limits where keys can be cut, which is the point of it in facilities that manage access tightly. Where that level of key control is not required, Corbin Russwin conventional plugs such as the 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 Grade 1 mortise cylinder plugs or the 253K66 3000 rim cylinder plug cover standard commercial keying, provided the lock body matches that platform.
10) I am standardizing plugs across a building with mixed hardware. How do the Medeco and Corbin Russwin plugs divide up?
They divide by lock platform rather than by preference. The Medeco 12028006-24-G3 covers Medeco Maxum deadbolts other than Captive versions and is finished in 624 Dark Bronze to coordinate with that hardware. Corbin Russwin 121K11-D2 and 121K11-L4 cover 1000 Series mortise cylinders, and the 253K66 covers 3000 Series rim cylinders. A facility running more than one of those platforms needs the matching plug for each; one part number will not blanket the building.
11) Is the Medeco Maxum plug suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It's specified for commercial security use, and the typical places it goes in are offices, schools, healthcare, government buildings, banks, multi-tenant properties, and retail or hospitality where key control is the reason the Medeco went in to begin with.
