Medeco 10-5500-605-00 Bright Brass 2" Mortise Cylinder 6 Pin Tumbler door lock

Medeco 2-Inch Mortise Cylinder

The Medeco 10-5500-605-00 is a bright brass mortise cylinder designed for commercial and residential doors requiring UL437 physical security. Its patented key control system restricts unauthorised key duplication for managed access. The cylinder features a six-pin tumbler mechanism and includes two keys. It suits property managers and owners needing high-security retrofit solutions.

Bright Brass Finish With Schlage L Cam

The bright brass finish provides corrosion resistance and a traditional appearance for visible hardware applications. Threads on the cylinder shell allow it to screw directly into compatible mortise locksets from other manufacturers. The included ct-z34 Schlage L cam operates the lock mechanism while a set screw secures the cylinder in place. Installers must verify that the existing lockset accepts this specific cam and thread pattern before fitting.

Six-Pin Tumbler Limits Key Combinations

The six-pin tumbler design delivers a finite number of key combinations compared to higher-pin cylinders, which may restrict master-keying depth for large facilities. UL437 certification confirms resistance to picking and drilling but does not address forced-entry attacks on the surrounding door or frame. Buyers needing deeper master-key hierarchies or cylinders with more pins should evaluate alternative models. The cylinder requires a mortise lockset cutout and cannot be used in bored or tubular lock preparations.
