Medeco® Mortise & Rim Cylinders – High-Security UL437 Certified Cylinder Locks
Medeco® rim and mortise cylinders are engineered for high-security applications requiring enhanced key control, durability, and resistance to physical attacks. Built with utility-patented Medeco 4 (M4) technology, these locks are ideal for commercial, institutional, and government facilities where security and key duplication control are critical.
Medeco Mortise Cylinder Overview
The Medeco mortise cylinder features external threads designed to screw directly into standard mortise lock cylinder housings from other manufacturers. A cam on the back engages the internal lock mechanism, and the cylinder is secured with a set screw. These cylinders provide a seamless retrofit for upgrading to Medeco cylinder lock protection without replacing the existing hardware.
Medeco Rim Cylinder Overview
Rim cylinders are typically used with auxiliary locking devices such as:
-
Surface-mounted deadbolts
-
Night latches
-
Panic exit devices
-
Jimmyproof locks (interlocking deadbolts / vertical dropbolts)
They mount with a back plate and two screws, offering a secure and compatible fit for a wide variety of aftermarket and OEM applications.
