Medeco 5262 Brass Body Padlock with 5/16" Shackle Diameter and M3 Key Technology

The Medeco 52 Series Brass Body Padlock is engineered for demanding commercial security applications, featuring a 5/16" shackle diameter and Medeco M3 key technology for superior access control. The padlock case is constructed of brass with a Satin Chrome (26) finish, and shackle options include stainless steel for corrosion protection or hardened boron alloy steel for resistance against cutting, sawing, and prying. Designed to be keyed with Medeco's 60 Series cam locks and switch locks, this padlock accepts UL listed cylinders and cores that are virtually pickproof and drillproof, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications ranging from industrial safekeeping to perimeter gates and cargo vehicles.

Key Features

  • 5/16" Shackle Diameter: Available in stainless steel for corrosion protection or hardened boron alloy steel for strong resistance against cutting, sawing, and prying attacks.
  • Brass Padlock Body: Durable brass case construction with Satin Chrome (26) finish provides long-lasting performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Patented Key Control: M3 key technology protects against unauthorized key duplication, requiring a special key cutting machine and access to Medeco-specific blanks available in a variety of restriction levels.
  • UL Listed Cylinders & Cores: Accepts cylinders and cores that are UL listed and virtually pickproof and drillproof, with mechanical cylinders providing resistance to physical attacks.
  • Picking and Bumping Protection: M4 cylinders utilize cylinder side pins, a lift pin, and a movable key element to engage a sidebar, preventing key rotation until elements are correctly rotated and aligned — protecting against bumping, picking, and other attacks.
  • Toe and Heel Deadbolt Locking Action: Dual-point locking mechanism provides enhanced security and resistance to forced entry.
  • 60 Series Compatibility: Designed to be keyed with Medeco's 60 Series cam locks and switch locks for integrated master key system flexibility.
  • Master Keying Capability: Can be master keyed into a system containing Medeco M4, X4, and M3 CLIQ cylinders to support complex keying hierarchies.
  • Flexible Keying Options: Available keyed differently, keyed alike, or master keyed; offered in non-key retained or key retained functions to suit specific operational needs.
  • Optional Dust Cover: Protects the keyway of the cylinder from weather conditions, extending service life in outdoor or harsh environments.
  • Chain and Clevis Attachment: Carbon steel chain and clevis with zinc plating, designed for more permanent attachment configurations.

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.
