Medeco 526201P – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the M3 key technology in these Medeco 52 series padlocks?
M3 technology combines angle cuts with sidebar mechanism for enhanced pick resistance. Keys have special angles that must align properly with cylinder pins. This provides higher security than standard pin tumbler systems.
2) What applications work best for 5/16 inch shackle padlocks?
The 5/16 inch shackle fits most standard hasps and chain links. Ideal for lockers, storage units, tool boxes, and light commercial applications. Not recommended for heavy industrial use requiring larger shackle diameters.
3) How does brass body construction perform in outdoor conditions?
Brass resists corrosion better than steel in most environments. Develops natural patina over time. Suitable for moderate outdoor exposure but marine environments may require additional protection or stainless options.
4) Can these padlocks be keyed alike or to existing systems?
Yes, Medeco 52 series can be keyed alike for multiple locks or integrated into existing M3 key systems. Contact locksmith for proper key coding and cylinder configuration to match your requirements.
5) What security grade do these padlocks meet?
Medeco 52 series typically meets commercial security standards. The M3 technology provides high pick resistance and key control. Check specific model documentation for exact security ratings and certifications.
6) How do I determine proper shackle clearance for my application?
Measure the thickness of materials the shackle must pass through. Add clearance for easy operation. The 5/16 inch diameter works with most standard hasps but verify opening size before ordering.
7) What maintenance is required for brass padlocks?
Clean periodically with mild soap and water. Lubricate keyway and shackle mechanism with graphite or appropriate lock lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dirt and debris.
8) Are replacement keys available for M3 technology locks?
M3 keys require proper authorization and key cards for duplication. Contact authorized Medeco dealer with key card and identification. Keys cannot be duplicated at standard key cutting machines.
9) How does shackle diameter affect cutting resistance?
The 5/16 inch shackle provides moderate cut resistance for general applications. Larger diameter shackles offer greater resistance to cutting tools. Consider application security requirements when selecting shackle size.
10) What related Medeco padlock models should I consider?
Browse our complete Medeco selection for different shackle sizes and body materials. The 54 series offers weatherproof options while 56 series provides shrouded shackle protection.
11) How do temperature changes affect brass padlock operation?
Brass expands and contracts with temperature but maintains good operation in normal ranges. Extreme cold may require additional lubrication. Hot conditions typically do not affect brass padlock function.
