Medeco 2051200T-24-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 2051200 cylinder fit my Emtek lever locksets?
The 2051200 is a 5-pin key-in-lever cylinder built to retrofit Emtek lever-type cylindrical locksets, with two exceptions: Hanover and Helios levers. If your levers are either of those two models, this is the wrong cylinder. For every other Emtek lever cylindrical lockset, it drops into the existing lock body so you keep the lever and trim and only change the cylinder.
2) Can I upgrade Emtek levers to a high security keyway without replacing the whole lockset?
That is exactly what the Medeco 2051200 is for. Rather than pulling and replacing the lock, you swap the key-in-lever cylinder for a Medeco one and the existing Emtek lever hardware stays on the door. The result is a patent-protected key system on doors that were previously on a standard keyway. The exclusion to watch is Emtek Hanover and Helios levers, which this cylinder does not fit.
3) What is the difference between the Biaxial and M3 versions of the Medeco 2051200?
Those are the two Medeco keyway technologies the 2051200 is offered in, and they are separate key systems. Order the one that matches the keys and key system you already have, or the one your locksmith is building the facility around. A building standardized on M3 keys needs the M3 cylinder; a Biaxial system needs the Biaxial. Mixing them means two sets of keys. The certification callouts on this family, ANSI A156.30 Level A and ANSI A156.5 Grade 1, cover the M3 and M4 platforms.
4) What does Pinned versus Sub-Assembled mean when ordering a Medeco key-in-lever cylinder?
It decides whether the cylinder arrives ready to use or ready for your locksmith. Pinned means it comes pinned to a key combination. Sub-Assembled ships without final pinning so a Medeco dealer can key it into an existing master system, and Sub-Assembled No Slider leaves the slider out as well for shops that pin and assemble in house. Property managers and MRO buyers who just want working keys order Pinned. Locksmiths keying the cylinder into an existing system order one of the sub-assembled options.
5) Is the Medeco 2051200 cylinder UL437 listed and ANSI Grade 1?
Yes on both counts. Medeco M4 key-in-knob/lever cylinders are UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, and the family carries ANSI A156.30 Level A for patent-protected key control and physical strength plus ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use quality. For an institutional buyer writing a spec, Level A is the line that matters most, since it is what backs the restriction on unauthorized key duplication.
6) Can I key the Medeco 2051200 into the same master key system as the rest of my building?
Yes, provided the rest of the building is on the same Medeco technology. Order the Sub-Assembled pinning option so your Medeco dealer can pin it into the existing system, and order the keyway technology, Biaxial or M3, that your current system uses. Because the 2051200 carries ANSI A156.30 Level A patent-protected key control, keys can only be cut by an authorized dealer against your signed authorization, which is the point of standardizing on it across a portfolio.
7) What finishes does the Medeco 2051200 key-in-lever cylinder come in to match my existing Emtek hardware?
Thirteen finish codes are offered, so the cylinder face can be matched to the lever it goes into: 20 Antique Nickel, 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 and 626 Satin Chrome. Match the BHMA number on your existing hardware rather than the finish name, since names vary between manufacturers and the number does not.
8) Is a Medeco key-in-lever retrofit cylinder good enough for a commercial building, or do I need a full commercial lockset?
For key control and attack resistance, the cylinder is the part that does that work, and the 2051200 is rated for commercial duty: ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy use, UL437 for drill and pick resistance. What the cylinder cannot upgrade is the lock chassis itself. If the Emtek lever body is failing mechanically under traffic, a new cylinder will not fix that and you need a new lockset. If the lock works fine and the problem is uncontrolled keys, the retrofit cylinder is the right and cheaper fix.
9) Does the Medeco 2051200 come with a tailpiece for the Emtek lock?
The 2051200 is a complete key-in-lever cylinder configured for Emtek lever cylindrical locksets, so the tailpiece configuration is matched to that hardware. Medeco builds over 100 cylinder designs and tailpiece configurations across the retrofit line specifically so each one drops into the lock it is intended for. That is why the correct part number matters more here than any adapter: pick the cylinder built for the lock brand, not a generic one.
10) What is the Medeco 2051200 actually made of and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
All components of the 2051200 cylinder are precision-machined from solid brass, and the family is certified to ANSI A156.5 Grade 1, the heavy-use quality tier. That combination is what puts it on school, healthcare and multi-tenant openings that cycle constantly rather than on a low-use interior door.
