Don’t Trust
Brand-X

We took apart a hardware store lock and were shocked to discover what was inside. Lightweight stampings, plastic parts, easily jimmied components, and a key that begged to be copied!
Hardware Store lock with inferior parts.

Do you have locks like these on your doors? Why bother? Burglars are very familiar with the 8 ways to defeat these (see at right).

If you have these cheap locks because they are "inexpensive”, please see Locks, for the reasons why getting professional-grade Medeco locks and keys is far LESS expensive in the long run.

Medeco locks are only available from licensed locksmiths (like us).

Who Else
Has Keys
To Your Locks?

Previous owners or tenants.
Repairmen, contractors, service providers (past and present).
Neighbors, baby-sitters, friends.
Purse snatchers; car thieves; workers at key-copy places.
Anyone who found a lost key.

Eight ways that criminals can open your door!

If you were a thief, would you rather see a door guarded by our Medeco brand lock or a hardware store lock? Since locks are your first line of defense, it pays for you to know as much as the burglars. Here are the targeted weak points, and what Medeco has done to guard them.

They Drill The Lock.
Medeco is built with strategically placed, hardened steel inserts to provide the utmost resistance to drilling.

They Hammer The Lock Housing.
We use solid brass and secure it with high-tensile steel bolts for maximum resistance.

They Kick In The Door.
The strike plate has a special design with 2” screws to anchor the strike directly to the building frame.

They Saw Through The Bolt.
The bolt is made of hardened steel, and is virtually impossible to saw through with a common hacksaw.

When crooks see a Medeco, they go somewhere else!

They Copy Your Key.
Patented Biaxial system makes it virtually impossible for someone to copy your key without your permission.

They Pick The Lock.
Double-locking action makes Medeco locks virtually pickproof.

They Wrench Off The Lock.
Our solid brass collar spins under pressure so a wrench is ineffective.

They Pry With A Crowbar.
Our hardened steel bolt is surrounded by heavy-gauge tubular steel to resist crowbar attack.
