Medeco Keys

How can I have a Medeco lock installed on my door?

  • You must be an authorized requestor with us or first receive authorization from the Building Director who must then file a request with . The word 鈥淢edeco鈥� must be mentioned in the request to ensure that it is forwarded to us.
  • The room number and the number of keys required must be indicated on the request. Do not forget to include copies for the Building Director, Building Services and Security Services. Omitting this will deny access to cleaners and security agents who may require entry to service your area during silent hours.
  • Upon receipt of the request we may contact the Building Director and initial requestor to obtain more details regarding the requested installation. Once this is completed we will provide the appropriate code and key blanks to the 不良研究所 locksmiths for processing.
  • The locksmith will then cut the keys and return them to Security Services where the requestor will be contacted to collect them.
  • If the request is for additional keys for an existing Medeco lock, the process ends here.
  • If the request is for a new lock installation, the locksmith will be retain one key temporarily to be used in the installation of the cylinder. Once completed, the key will be returned to Security Services where the requestor will be able to retrieve it.

What about master and sub-master sets?

  • Security Services strongly discourages the use of a master building key. Security Services retains one master key for every building for emergency purposes. Building Directors may have a master key provided that it is stored in a locked key press.
  • Sub-master keys should be kept to a minimum and distributed on a need to have basis.
  • Only Building Directors, Faculty and Department administrators, Building Services personnel, and Security Services should have sub-master keys. Exceptions must be approved by one of the above. Sub-master keys must always be kept in a locked key press when not used.

What about key requests for locks that are not Medeco?

  • All other key requests or new installations that are not Medeco follow the same process except that they are not forwarded to us. In most cases, the locksmith will need the key to make a new copy. These miscellaneous keys may consist of the following brands: Corbin, Yale, Sargent, etc. These keys are not controlled and copies can be made from any hardware store.
  • When an office key is lost or when a new occupant moves into an office, we highly recommend that the lock on the door be changed to a Medeco.
