Medeco 2001300T-26-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 2001300 cylinder fit my Baldwin 5250 lever without replacing the whole lockset?
Yes. The Medeco 2001300 is a key-in-knob/lever retrofit cylinder built specifically for Baldwin 5245, 5250 and 5255 lever locksets, plus 5215 and 5225 knob locksets. You pull the existing Baldwin cylinder and drop this one in, so the lever, rose and trim stay on the door and only the key control changes. That is the whole point of the part: a high security key system on hardware you already own.
2) What is the difference between the Biaxial and M3 versions of the Medeco 2001300 Baldwin cylinder?
Those are the two keyway platforms the 2001300 is offered on, and the choice is driven by the key system you already run, not by the Baldwin hardware. Order the one that matches the keyway your facility is keyed to, because a Biaxial cylinder will not accept an M3 key and the reverse is equally true. If you are starting a new key system on a building, pick one platform and stay on it so every cylinder you add later can be keyed into the same hierarchy.
3) Should I order the Medeco Baldwin retrofit cylinder pinned or sub-assembled?
Three ways to buy it. Pinned means the cylinder arrives keyed and ready to install, which is what a property manager or facility crew wants when they are not cutting their own keys. Sub-Assembled ships without the pinning done, for a locksmith or dealer who keys it into an existing master system on the bench. Sub-Assembled, No Slider leaves the slider out as well, for shops that stock and set their own slider components. If you do not have a key machine and Medeco pinning kit, order Pinned.
4) Is the Medeco 2001300 cylinder rated for commercial use, and what certifications does it carry?
Commercial grade, and it is certified three ways. ANSI A156.30 Level A covers patent-protected key control and physical strength. ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 is the heavy-use commercial quality standard. The M4 platform it is based on is UL 437 listed for drill and pick resistance. For a hospital, school or government facility where the spec calls out a listed high-security cylinder, those are the three lines the specifier is looking for.
5) Can I key the Medeco Baldwin cylinder into my existing master key system?
Yes, if that system runs on Medeco Biaxial or M3. The 2001300 is a 5-pin cylinder available on both platforms, so a locksmith can pin it into an existing Medeco hierarchy the same as any other cylinder in the family. Order it Sub-Assembled if your locksmith is doing the keying, or Pinned if you want it keyed before it ships. A Medeco key is restricted, so duplicates only come through an authorized channel, which is usually the reason a building standardizes on it.
6) Will the Medeco 2001300 fit a Baldwin 5265 or any other Baldwin lever not listed?
No. The 2001300 is cut for the Baldwin 5245, 5250 and 5255 levers and the 5215 and 5225 knobs. Medeco builds retrofit cylinders across more than 100 different designs and tailpiece configurations, so a different Baldwin lockset almost certainly has its own cylinder part number, but it is not this one. Confirm the lockset model stamped on your hardware before ordering, because the tailpiece is what makes the retrofit work and it is model specific.
7) I manage a building with Baldwin levers on some doors and other hardware elsewhere. Can I get one key for everything?
Usually yes, and the retrofit approach is how it gets done. The 2001300 handles the Baldwin 5245, 5250, 5255 levers and 5215, 5225 knobs, and Medeco makes over 100 other cylinder designs and tailpiece configurations covering the common security hardware platforms. Pick one keyway, Biaxial or M3, and order the matching retrofit cylinder for each lockset type in the building. Every door ends up on the same key system without pulling a single lockset off a door.
8) What finishes does the Medeco 2001300 come in to match Baldwin trim?
Thirteen finish codes, which covers most of what Baldwin puts on a door: 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, and 20 Antique Nickel. Match the finish code on the lever you are retrofitting, not the finish name, since brass and bronze names vary between makers but BHMA codes do not.
9) Is a 5-pin Medeco cylinder enough security for a commercial building, or do I need 6-pin?
The 2001300 is a 5-pin cylinder, and the pin count here is set by the Baldwin lockset it retrofits, not by a choice you make. What carries the security is the platform: ANSI A156.30 Level A key control and the UL 437 drill and pick resistance listing on the M4 platform. In practice the 5-pin count still supports large master key hierarchies on Medeco, and for most office, retail and multi-tenant buildings the restricted key is doing more work than the extra pin chamber would.
10) What is the Medeco Baldwin retrofit cylinder made of, and will it hold up in a high traffic entry?
Machined brass components throughout, and it holds the ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 rating, which is the heavy-use commercial tier. That combination is aimed at doors that see constant cycling: school corridors, healthcare wings, apartment common entries, warehouse offices. Brass also means it wears in rather than galling, which is why it is the standard cylinder material on commercial hardware.
