Medeco 2020078T-26-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which locksets does the Medeco 2020078 key-in-lever cylinder actually fit?
The Medeco 2020078 is a 6-pin key-in-lever retrofit cylinder built specifically for the LSDA LX1000 Lever and Taco LXV Lever cylindrical locksets. It drops into those chassis so you keep the existing lockset and just upgrade the cylinder. If your opening uses a different cylindrical lever, this is not the right tailpiece configuration for it.
2) Can I upgrade to a Medeco high-security cylinder without replacing the whole lever lockset?
That is the point of the 2020078. It retrofits lever-type and knob-type cylindrical locksets, padlocks, and bored-type auxiliary deadlatches and deadlocks, so the existing hardware stays on the door and only the cylinder changes. Medeco publishes over 100 cylinder and tailpiece designs across the line, which is how a mixed building gets standardized on one key system without stripping hardware off every opening.
3) Do I order the Medeco 2020078 in Biaxial or M3?
Both keyway technologies are offered on the 2020078. Pick the one that matches the key system already in your building: if your facility is keyed in Medeco Biaxial, order Biaxial so the new cylinder falls under the existing masterkey system; if you are on M3, order M3. Mixing the two means separate keys, so match what your locksmith already has on record for the site.
4) Is the Medeco 2020078 cylinder rated for drill and pick attack?
Yes. Medeco M4 key-in-knob/lever cylinders are UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, and the line carries ANSI A156.30 Level A for patent-protected key control and physical strength plus ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use applications. The body and internal components are machined brass. That combination is what gets these specified in government, healthcare, and education work.
5) What is the difference between Pinned, Sub-Assembled, and Sub-Assembled No Slider on this Medeco cylinder?
Those are the three pinning options on the 2020078. Pinned means the cylinder arrives combinated and ready to key. The sub-assembled versions come without final pinning, for a locksmith or end user with their own restricted key system who will pin it to their own bitting. Sub-Assembled, No Slider omits the slider component as well. If you are not set up to pin Medeco in house, order Pinned.
6) Will a Medeco 2020078 cylinder match the finish of my existing lever hardware?
There are 13 finishes to choose from: 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, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome. For most commercial buildings the lever trim is 626 satin chrome or 613 oil-rubbed bronze, so order the cylinder face in the same code.
7) Does a 6-pin Medeco cylinder give me better key control than a standard 5-pin?
The 2020078 uses a 6-pin tumbler configuration, which raises the number of usable key differs and the resistance to picking compared with a 5-pin cylinder. On top of the pin count, Medeco adds utility patent-pending key control that restricts unauthorized duplication, so blanks are not available over a hardware store counter. For a property manager running a masterkey system across multiple tenants, that duplication control is usually the deciding factor, not the pin count.
8) Is the Medeco 2020078 meant for commercial or residential doors?
Commercial. It is classified as commercial door hardware and the certifications behind it, ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use and UL437, are written for high-traffic openings: offices, schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and multi-tenant residential common areas. Nothing stops it going on a house door, but the LX1000 and LXV locksets it fits are commercial cylindrical levers.
