Medeco 320201 Original 32 Series 6 Pin Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) with 00 Keyway

The Medeco Original 32 Series Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 commercial cylinder engineered for rapid, tool-free rekeying by non-technical personnel using a special control key. Constructed from durable machined brass components, this 6-pin core features the 32 Series design with the control/locking lug positioned at the middle of the core, providing additional protection against dent puller attacks. UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, the 32 Series fits Medeco rim and mortise cylinder housings, padlock bodies, Maxum deadbolts, Embassy knob and lever cylindrical locksets, and Simplex Unican applications.

Key Features

  • Tool-Free Core Changeability: Cores can be quickly and easily changed by non-technical personnel using a special control key, effectively "rekeying" the lock without disassembly and reducing the expense of outside service personnel.
  • 32 Series Control Lug Design: The control/locking lug is positioned 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.
  • Heavy-Duty Machined Brass Construction: Cylinders are constructed of durable machined brass components, designed to last the life of your equipment in demanding commercial environments.
  • Patented Key Control (Medeco 4 / M4): Patented Medeco 4 keys may only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco service outlet, and only at the owner's request, providing utility patented control and high-security key management.
  • 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 — available in rim, mortise, key-in-knob, padlock, and bored auxiliary deadlatch/deadbolt formats.
  • Flexible Keying Options: Cores can be ordered keyed alike, keyed different, or master keyed to accommodate a wide range of facility security requirements.
  • Wide Finish Selection: Available in 13 finishes including Bright Brass (05), Satin Brass (06), Antique Brass (09), Bright Bronze (11), Satin Bronze (12), Oil Rubbed Bronze (13), Bright Nickel (18), Satin Nickel (19), Antique Nickel (20), Black (22), Dark Bronze (24), Bright Chrome (25), and Satin Chrome (26).

Medeco MED-320201-26-00P – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lock hardware does the Medeco 32 Series large format interchangeable core fit?
The 32 Series core drops into Medeco rim and mortise cylinder housings, padlock bodies, Maxum deadbolts, Embassy knob and lever cylindrical locksets, and Simplex Unican applications. Across the 32 Series that covers rim, mortise, key-in-knob, padlock, and bored auxiliary deadlatch and deadbolt formats, so one keying system can run the entry, the storeroom padlock and the pushbutton door in the same building on the same control key.
2) Does the Medeco 320201 come with the lock body, or is it just the core?
What ships is the interchangeable core itself, 6-pin and cut for the 00 keyway. It has to go into hardware built to accept a large format core: a Medeco rim or mortise cylinder housing, a padlock body, a Maxum deadbolt, an Embassy knob or lever lockset, or a Simplex Unican. If the opening does not already carry one of those, the housing or lockset is a separate line on the order.
3) Will a Medeco 320201 core work in the Medeco system we already have in the building?
Only if that system is Medeco Original on the 00 keyway. A key enters a core whose keyway matches and no other, so a building running a different Medeco keyway will find the core seats in the housing fine and the existing keys will not turn it. Check the keyway stamped on your current cores or on the key bow before ordering; if it is not 00, this is the wrong core for those doors.
4) Can our maintenance staff rekey a door with a Medeco interchangeable core without calling a locksmith?
Yes, and it is why facilities standardize on cores in the first place. A special control key lifts the core out and seats a replacement, so someone with no lock training changes what a door answers to in seconds, with no disassembly of the lockset and no outside service call. Tenant moves out, storeroom key goes missing, a contractor leaves the job: it becomes a core swap out of the spares drawer rather than a truck roll.
5) Should I order the Medeco 320201 core Pinned or Sub-Assembled?
Pinned means the core arrives cut to a keying order, so state whether you want it keyed alike with other cores, keyed different, or master keyed into an existing system. Sub-Assembled is what a locksmith or a shop with its own pinning kit buys: the core comes without that final pinning so it can be brought onto your Medeco Original system at the bench. Both are offered in every one of the 13 finishes.
6) Can keys for a Medeco 32 Series core be copied at a hardware store?
No. The 32 Series runs patented Medeco 4 (M4) keys, and those can only be duplicated by Medeco or an authorized Medeco service outlet, and only at the owner's request. That is the difference between a lock that is hard to pick and a key system you actually control, which is what matters in tenant spaces, records rooms, IT closets and anywhere an unauthorized copy is the real exposure rather than a forced attack.
7) Can I get a group of Medeco 32 Series cores keyed alike, or master keyed into the system we already run?
All three are ordering options: keyed alike so one key runs a set of doors, keyed different so each opening stands on its own, or master keyed so a supervisor key covers a group while each core keeps its own change key. Mixing them across a property is the usual pattern, one master over the building with individual change keys per unit or suite. Because the cores are interchangeable, the schedule can be rearranged later by moving cores instead of buying locks.
8) Is the Medeco 32 Series core rated for a high security commercial spec?
UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance and forced attack protection, Grade 1 commercial on the ANSI/BHMA A156.5 hardware platform, at a heavy duty level. The construction is what carries it: machined brass body, nickel-plated pins, and hardened stainless steel drill-resistant pins in the drill path. When a specification calls for a high security cylinder with restricted key control, this is the class of core it is describing.
9) How is the Medeco 32 Series different from an interchangeable core with the lug at the back?
Lug position is the difference. On the 32 Series the control and locking lug sits at the middle of the core rather than the rear, which adds protection against a dent puller attack, the standard way somebody tries to rip a core straight out of its housing. Rear-lug cores put that lug at the most exposed point. Everything else is heavy duty commercial: machined brass, nickel-plated pins, hardened stainless steel drill-resistant pins.
10) Do Medeco 32 Series cores need build-up or control pins to master key?
No build-up or control pins are needed. The 32 Series coordinates the cuts between the operating key and the control key, which takes that extra pin stack out of the picture and makes pinning a master key system simpler than cores carrying a separate control shear line. Fewer parts to stock on the truck, and less to get wrong laying out a new system at the bench.
11) Can I match a Medeco 320201 core to the finish of the levers and deadbolts already on our doors?
13 finishes to pick from, and the core face is the part that shows through the housing: 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. Order the code that matches the trim you already have on the opening; each finish is available Pinned or Sub-Assembled.
