...And how to stop them.
They break through a cellar or back door - Medeco's SteelGuard and dropbolt has solid-steel locking bolts that grip the doorjamb like a vise. Often a door will give way before these tough locks do.
They wrench off the lock - The Maxum deadbolt's solid brass collar spins under pressure, so a wrench is ineffective.
They pick the lock - Experts estimate that 3 million lock picks are sold annually in North America. A common thief can compromise an ordinary lock in seconds using this device. Double-locking action makes Medeco locks virtually pickproof.
They kick in the door - The Maxum deadbolt's strike plate has a special design with 2" screws to anchor the strike directly to the frame of the building.
They drill the lock - The Maxum deadbolt is built with strategically placed hardened steel inserts to provide the utmost resistance to drilling. Medeco's SteelGuard dropbolt can be supplemented by a Bodyguard solid-steel armored plate for the ultimate in protection against drilling, wrenching and chiseling.
They hammer the lock - The Maxum deadbolt's collar is made of solid brass and is secured with high-tensile steel bolts for maximum resistance.
They break into storage areas - Medeco's high security padlocks feature a pick- and drill-resistant high security cylinder and give you the benefits of Medeco key control.
They pry with a crowbar - Maxum's hardened-steel bolt is surrounded by heavy-guage tubular steel to resist crowbar attacks.
They break glass and reach inside to unlock the door - The Maxum deadbolt's optional "Childsafe" deadbolt has a special thumb-turn key that you can remove for additional burglary protection when you're away, or leave in when home to allow easy exit in emergencies.
This strong deadbolt exceeded the toughest standards set for Grade 1 auxiliary locks set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Tests simulated kicking, prying, wrenching, sawing and driling.
These tough padlocks provide the added Medeco benefit of requiring your authorization before keys can be duplicated. They can also be keyed so that the same key opens your doors and padlocks.
Medeco's SteelGuard™ dropbolt is designed to foil intrusion attempts. Combined with the optional Bodyguard® cylinder guardplate, you have the ultimate in protection against physical attack.
