Medeco 320201J Bi-Level 32 Series 6 Pin Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) with DL Keyway
The Medeco 32 Series Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 commercial cylinder engineered for fast, tool-free rekeying by non-technical personnel using a special control key. Featuring Bi-Level (M4) technology with a 6-pin configuration and DL keyway, this core fits Medeco rim and mortise cylinder housings, padlock bodies, Maxum deadbolts, Embassy knob and lever cylindrical locksets, and Simplex Unican. Constructed from durable machined brass components, the 32 Series is UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance and provides robust protection against forced attack, including dent puller attacks thanks to its mid-core control/locking lug placement.
Key Features
- Tool-Free Core Replacement: Cores can be quickly and easily changed by non-technical personnel using a special control key, effectively "rekeying" the lock without disassembly — eliminating the need for outside service personnel for routine rekeying.
- Mid-Core Control/Locking Lug: The 32 Series positions the control/locking lug at the middle of the core, providing additional protection against dent puller attacks compared to rear-lug designs.
- Coordinated Key Cuts: The 32 Series uses coordinated cuts between operating keys and control keys, eliminating the need for build-up or control pins and simplifying pinning for master key systems.
- Bi-Level (M4) Technology: Incorporates the Medeco 4 (M4) design offering utility patented control, with patented keys that may only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco service outlet at the owner's request.
- Heavy-Duty Machined Brass Construction: Cylinders are constructed of durable machined brass components, designed to last the life of the equipment in demanding commercial applications.
- Broad Compatibility: The 32 Series fits Medeco rim and mortise cylinder housings, padlock bodies, Maxum deadbolts, Embassy knob and lever cylindrical locksets, and Simplex Unican for versatile deployment across a wide range of hardware.
- Flexible Keying Options: Cores can be ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed to accommodate a wide range of security and access management requirements.
- Wide Finish Selection: Available in 13 finishes including Bright Brass, Satin Brass, Antique Brass, Bright Bronze, Satin Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Bright Nickel, Satin Nickel, Antique Nickel, Black, Dark Bronze, Bright Chrome, and Satin Chrome.
