The meaning of high security:

The majority of home break-ins occur during the day and through the front door of the home. Because of this, crime prevention professionals recommend that good locks are an important first line of defense - in front of items such as burglar alarms.

There are a number of potential actions that you can take to improve your security. Do you know the difference between real security and "feel-good" security? Most people don't. To protect those things you consider valuable, you need high security locks that meet the toughest challenges. You need to know they can resist drilling and other physical attack. You want assurance they can't be picked. And you want to know your keys can't be readily duplicated if they fall into the wrong hands. Medeco locks provide all of this and more.

Define Key Control:

Real key control is nothing more than the assurance that your keys can't be duplicated without your knowledge and permission.

If you are using a standard lock without patent protected keys, anyone who gains possession of those keys can easily and inexpensively make duplicate keys. And with an unauthorized duplicate key a thief might have access to your home or building, it's physical and intellectual property, and the people inside - without your knowledge.

Whether you use electronic access control or traditional key control methods to secure entrances, it is essential to use systems with patent protected keys. Most likely, somewhere on your doors is a mechanical lock, and that lock should offer you patent protected key control.

Who has the keys to your facility? With a patented lock and proper key control policy in place, you can be confident in your answer to that question.

Patent protected Medeco and KeyMark mechanical key systems ensure you that the keys to your facility can only be duplicated by authorized dealers and only with your permission.

High security starts with key control. If anyone can go down the street and make a copy of your key, it doesn't matter how tough the lock itself is. That's why Medeco locks are built smarter - starting with a level of protection against unauthorized key duplication that's so good it's patented. That makes it virtually impossible for someone to duplicate your key without your permission. Only Medeco security professionals such as those at Flam's are authorized to copy your key and only with your consent.

High security also means resistance to picking. Medeco3 cylinders are designed with special pins and a third locking element setting the industry standard for high security. For thieves, it's all about access and time, and Medeco locks are designed to stop them at every turn.
