Medeco 320201W Biaxial 32 Series 6-Pin Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) with G3 Keyway

The Medeco Biaxial 32 Series Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 commercial cylinder engineered for fast, tool-free core exchanges using a special control key — allowing non-technical personnel to effectively "rekey" a lock without disassembling it. Featuring Biaxial technology with a G3 keyway and 6-pin configuration, this 32 Series core fits Medeco rim and mortise cylinder housings, padlock bodies, Maxum deadbolts, Embassy knob and lever cylindrical locksets, and Simplex Unican. Constructed of durable machined brass components and UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, this LFIC delivers the high-security performance demanded by commercial applications.

Key Features

  • Tool-Free Core Exchange: Cores can be quickly and easily changed by non-technical personnel using a special control key, eliminating the need to disassemble the lock or call outside service personnel for routine rekeying.
  • Biaxial Technology with G3 Keyway: Incorporates Medeco's Biaxial cylinder technology paired with the G3 keyway for enhanced key control and security performance in commercial environments.
  • Mid-Core Control Lug Design: 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.
  • Patented Key Duplication Control: Medeco 4 (M4) keys may only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco service outlet, and only upon the owner's request, providing utility patented control.
  • Heavy-Duty Machined Brass Construction: Cylinders are constructed of durable machined brass components designed to last the life of the equipment in demanding commercial use.
  • Flexible Keying Options: Cores can be ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed to accommodate a wide range of security and access control requirements.
  • Wide Finish Availability: 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.

Medeco MED-320201W-06-G3S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Medeco 320201W a complete lock or just the core?
It is the core alone, not a lockset. The 32 Series large format interchangeable core is the removable cylinder that carries the pins and the keyway. It goes into hardware that is already prepped for a large format core, or into a Medeco rim or mortise housing, padlock body, Maxum deadbolt, Embassy cylindrical lockset, or Simplex Unican. If the door has no LFIC-prepped hardware on it, the core alone will not lock anything; you need the housing or lockset as well.
2) Can my maintenance staff rekey these Medeco LFIC cores themselves without a locksmith?
Core exchange on the 32 Series is tool free. A control key pulls the core out and drops a new one in, so a non-technical maintenance person can effectively rekey the lock without disassembling it or calling in outside service. That is the whole point of a large format interchangeable core for a property manager running a lot of doors: turnover on a unit means pulling a core, not pulling a lock. The cores themselves are pinned by Medeco or an authorized service outlet, so the rekey happens at the core level, not at the bench.
3) What is the difference between ordering the Medeco 320201W pinned versus sub-assembled?
Pinning is an order choice on the 32 Series core. Pinned means the core arrives built to a keying assignment, ready to install and operate. Sub-assembled means the core comes without the final pinning, for a locksmith or dealer who is going to pin it into an existing key system in house. Every finish offered is available both ways. If you are a facility ordering replacement cores for a system you already run, pinned is the normal choice; if you maintain your own key records and pinning kit, sub-assembled keeps the core inside your control.
4) Is the Medeco Biaxial 32 Series core drill and pick resistant, and what grade is it?
UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance and forced attack protection, and rated Grade 1 commercial under ANSI/BHMA A156.5. Duty level is heavy duty. Construction backs that up: solid brass body with nickel-plated pins and hardened stainless-steel drill-resistant pins. For a hospital, school, or government facility with a written high-security cylinder spec, those are the two lines that usually have to be met on paper.
5) Will a Medeco G3 keyway core work in my existing key system?
The 320201W is cut for the G3 keyway with 6-pin Biaxial pinning, so it operates only on keys made for that keyway and system. If your building is already on Medeco Biaxial with G3, these cores can be ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed into it. If your existing Medeco system is on a different keyway, a G3 core will not accept those keys, and you need cores in the keyway your system was built on.
6) Can tenants get copies of Medeco keys cut at a hardware store?
No. Medeco 4 keys are utility patented and may only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco service outlet, and only at the owner's request. A tenant or employee cannot walk into a big box store and get a copy. For multi-tenant residential, healthcare, or any facility where uncontrolled key copies are the actual security problem, that key control is usually the reason to be on Medeco rather than a standard cylinder.
7) What is the advantage of the Medeco 32 Series mid-core control lug over a rear-lug interchangeable core?
The 32 Series puts the control and locking lug at the middle of the core rather than the rear. That gives added protection against dent puller attacks, where the attacker grips the face of the core and pulls. The 32 Series also uses coordinated cuts between the operating key and the control key, which removes the need for build-up or control pins and simplifies pinning on a master key system. For a security integrator specifying cores into a system that will be mastered several levels deep, that coordinated-cut design is the practical difference.
8) Can I get Medeco LFIC cores to match the finish of the lever and exit hardware already on my doors?
Thirteen finishes are offered on the 32 Series core, each available pinned or sub-assembled: 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, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome. For a building standardized on 626 satin chrome, which is the most common commercial finish, the core face will read against the trim rather than stand out.
9) Is a Medeco LFIC core suitable for a residential rental, or is it commercial only?
Rated commercial and heavy duty. That does not stop it going on a residential door, and multi-tenant and mixed-use property is one of the applications it is built for, but the design target is commercial traffic: office buildings, schools and campuses, healthcare, government and municipal buildings, retail, and industrial or warehouse facilities. A single-family landlord with a handful of doors is paying for key control and a Grade 1 core; the value shows up when there is turnover and a master key system to maintain.
10) What is the Medeco 32 Series core made of and will it hold up in a high-traffic entrance?
Machined brass throughout, with nickel-plated pins and hardened stainless-steel drill-resistant pins inside. Medeco builds these cylinders to last the life of the equipment in demanding commercial use, and the heavy duty, Grade 1 rating is the traffic level it is designed against. Brass is the standard cylinder substrate because it machines to close tolerance and does not corrode the way plated steel does.
