Mortise Cylinder with Yale Cam
This Medeco 10-0500 cylinder fits mortise lock cases that accept a threaded 1-1/4 inch shell and a Yale standard cam. It is built for commercial doors that require heavy-duty security and a satin brass finish.
UL-437 Listed Pick and Drill Resistance
The cylinder meets UL-437 requirements for pick and drill resistance, making it virtually bump proof and highly resistant to forced attacks. Solid brass construction ensures long service life under frequent use.
Retrofit Compatibility Across Brands
Threads on the shell allow direct installation into many manufacturers' existing mortise hardware without replacing the lock case. The Yale standard cam operates the bolt mechanism in compatible lock bodies.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1-1/4" mortise cylinder and what step is often missed?
Thread the solid brass cylinder into the mortise lock case until the Yale Standard cam aligns with the lock mechanism; the step often missed is verifying cam engagement before tightening the set screw.
What maintenance will this UL-437 cylinder need over time?
Periodically lubricate the keyway with a dry graphite powder to maintain smooth operation; the solid brass construction resists corrosion, so no finish maintenance is required.
What is the first limitation that appears under sustained heavy use?
The UL-437 listing confirms drill and pick resistance, but the Yale Standard cam interface may wear before the Medeco cylinder body under extreme cycling.
