Medeco 2020249T-06-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 2020249 cylinder fit a Schlage D Series lever lock?
Yes. The 2020249 is a 6-pin key-in-lever retrofit cylinder built to drop into Schlage D Series levers, along with Arrow and Hager lever locksets and Embassy levers. You keep the existing lockset and swap only the cylinder, so the door prep and the lever itself stay as they are.
2) Can I upgrade my commercial lever locks to high security without replacing the whole lockset?
That is exactly what this cylinder is for. Rather than buying new locksets, you pull the existing key-in-lever cylinder out of an Arrow, Hager, Embassy or Schlage D Series lever and install the Medeco 6-pin in its place. Medeco backs this with over 100 cylinder designs and tailpiece configurations across the line, so most lever brands on a building can be brought onto one high security key system the same way.
3) Is the Medeco 2020249 UL 437 listed for drill and pick resistance?
Yes, UL 437 listed for both drill and pick resistance. It also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.30 Level A for patent protected key control and physical strength, and ANSI/BHMA A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy use. For a facility spec that calls out a high security cylinder by standard, those three lines are what you cite.
4) Does this Medeco cylinder stop tenants from copying keys at a hardware store?
It does. The 2020249 uses Medeco's utility patent pending key control, which restricts who can cut a blank, so keys cannot be duplicated at an ordinary key machine. That is the main reason property managers and schools put these on entry and staff-only doors. Key control is also what earns it the ANSI A156.30 Level A rating.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering the Medeco 2020249?
Three things. Keyway technology, either Biaxial or M3. Pinning state: Pinned, Sub-Assembled, or Sub-Assembled No Slider. And finish, from 13 choices. Locksmiths keying to an existing system usually take the sub-assembled version and pin it to the customer's bitting; a single-door job is simpler as a pinned cylinder.
6) Will the Medeco 2020249 work in a mortise lock or a rim exit device?
No. This one is a key-in-knob/lever style cylinder, cut for the cylinder pocket in Arrow, Hager, Embassy and Schlage D Series levers. A mortise lock needs a threaded mortise cylinder with the correct cam, and a rim exit device needs a rim cylinder with a tailpiece. Medeco builds those in the same keyways, so you can still put a whole building on one key system, but they are different part numbers.
7) What is the difference between the Medeco Biaxial and M3 versions of this cylinder?
They are different Medeco keyway technologies, and you order to match the system already in the building. If your existing Medeco keys are Biaxial, order Biaxial; if the site is on M3, order M3. Mixing them on one master key system does not work. The M3 platform is the one the ANSI A156.30 and A156.5 Grade 1 certifications are cited against here, alongside M4.
8) What does Sub-Assembled, No Slider mean on a Medeco cylinder order?
Sub-assembled means the cylinder ships without final pinning so a locksmith can pin it to the site's key system. The No Slider variation leaves the slider component out, which is how shops that stock and build Medeco cylinders in house prefer to receive them. If you are not pinning it yourself, order the Pinned option instead.
9) Can I get this cylinder in a finish that matches oil rubbed bronze levers?
Yes. 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed is one of 13 finishes, and 624 Dark Bronze is there if your existing hardware runs darker and flatter. The full range also covers 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 625 Bright Chrome and 626 Satin Chrome, so it can be matched across mixed openings in one building.
10) Will this cylinder hold up on a high traffic door?
It is built from machined brass components and certified to ANSI A156.5 Grade 1, which is the heavy use commercial grade. Entry doors, corridors and stairwells in offices, schools, hospitals and warehouses are the intended service, not light duty residential.
11) Is a 6-pin cylinder worth it over a 5-pin for a commercial building?
For key control, yes. The 2020249 is a 6-pin cylinder, and the extra chamber gives more pick resistance and far more usable key combinations, which is what you need when a master key system has to expand across floors or tenants without codes colliding. On a single residential door it is overkill; on offices, schools, healthcare and multi-tenant work it is the point of the product.
