High-security double-cylinder deadbolt
The Mul-T-Lock HDC-26 Hercular deadbolt provides ANSI Grade 1 protection with a captive key system. It operates as a single-cylinder lock when the thumb-turn key is inserted and converts to a double-cylinder lock when removed. The 006 keyway cylinder resists bumping, picking and drilling to UL 437 standards. A satin chrome finish completes the heavy-duty hardware.
Door preparation and key control
Verify the door thickness and backset fall within the adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch range before installation. The lock includes two keys and a key ID card for Mul-T-Lock's registered key control system. Ensure the UL fire-rated latch matches the door's fire rating requirements. Professional fitting is recommended for correct cylinder alignment.
Durability and daily operation
The Grade 1 mechanism withstands heavy residential or light commercial traffic without binding. Internal cylinders move smoothly during conversion between single and double-cylinder modes. Satin chrome resists tarnish and wear from frequent handling. No electronic components or batteries are involved, so operation remains consistent regardless of power status.
