Medeco MED-2001200T-26-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I upgrade Baldwin knob locks to Medeco keys without replacing the whole lockset?
That is exactly what this part is for. The 2001200 is a key-in-knob/lever retrofit cylinder, so on a Baldwin 5205 or 5210 knob or a 5270 or 5280 lever you pull the original cylinder and drop this one in. The lockset, the latch and the door stay untouched. For a property manager or an MRO buyer, that means the security upgrade happens door by door without re-prepping anything or paying for new hardware.
2) What is the difference between the Biaxial and M3 versions of the Medeco 2001200?
Those are the two key systems the 2001200 is offered in, and the choice is not about the door, it is about the keys you already own. Biaxial and M3 are different Medeco keyways and they are not interchangeable, so order the one that matches the system your facility is already keyed to. Buying the wrong technology means a cylinder that will not accept your existing keys and cannot be keyed alike with the rest of the building.
3) Is the Medeco 2001200 cylinder UL 437 listed and what grade is it?
UL 437 listed for drill and pick resistance on the Medeco M4 key-in-knob cylinders, and certified to ANSI A156.30 Level A for patent-protected key control and physical strength as well as ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use commercial applications. Those three together are what a hospital, school district or government facility spec usually calls for on a high-security key control upgrade.
4) Can tenants get Medeco 2001200 keys copied at a hardware store?
No, and that is the point of the cylinder. The 2001200 uses Medeco's utility patent-pending key control, which restricts unauthorized key duplication. Blanks are not sold over the counter, so a tenant, contractor or former employee cannot walk out and have a spare cut. For multi-tenant residential and commercial office buildings, that is usually the reason to spend on a Medeco retrofit rather than a standard replacement cylinder.
5) Can the Medeco 2001200 be keyed alike with the other Medeco cylinders in my building?
Yes, as long as they share the same key system. The 2001200 comes in Biaxial and in M3, and a cylinder can only be keyed into a system that matches its technology and keyway. Order it in whichever of the two your existing masterkey system runs on and it can be brought onto the same key. If you are standardizing a facility from scratch, pick one technology and specify it across every retrofit cylinder you buy.
6) My Baldwin lockset is not a 5205 or 5270. Is there a Medeco retrofit cylinder that will fit it?
The 2001200 itself is cut for Baldwin 5205 and 5210 knobs and 5270 and 5280 levers only. Medeco does build over 100 different cylinder designs and tailpiece configurations covering the popular security hardware platforms, so a different Baldwin series or another manufacturer's lockset generally has its own retrofit cylinder with the correct tailpiece. Match the cylinder to your exact lockset model number rather than assuming one Medeco key-in-knob cylinder covers them all, since the tailpiece is what makes it turn the lock.
7) What does Pinned versus Sub-Assembled mean when ordering a Medeco 2001200 cylinder?
Pinned means the cylinder arrives keyed and ready to install. Sub-Assembled ships without the pinning done, for a locksmith or an end-user with a Medeco pinning setup who will key it into an existing master system in the shop. There is also a Sub-Assembled, No Slider option. If you are not doing your own keying, order Pinned; if you hold a Medeco key system and cut your own, the sub-assembled options let you bring the cylinder into your existing keying scheme.
8) What finish should I order to match my existing Baldwin knobs and levers?
Thirteen finishes are offered, so match the cylinder face to the trim already on the door: 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 624 Dark Bronze, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome. Baldwin hardware is commonly specified in the brass and bronze range, so 605, 612 and 613 are the usual matches on those openings.
9) How many pins does the Medeco 2001200 cylinder have?
Five. The 2001200 is a 5-pin key-in-knob/lever cylinder, which is the standard pin count for cylindrical knob and lever hardware. If your Medeco system is keyed as a 6-pin system, this is not the cylinder to bring into it.
10) Is the Medeco 2001200 durable enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is built for it. The cylinder uses machined brass components and carries ANSI A156.5 Grade 1, which is the commercial heavy-duty grade, and the catalog classifies the part as commercial rather than residential. Schools, healthcare corridors and warehouse entries with existing Baldwin hardware are the intended use.
