Medeco Key Duplication

$1.79. That's about how much it costs for a thief to get your key duplicated at any one of more than 30,000 hardware or 26,000 discount stores nationwide.

  • How did they get your key?
  • Ever given your key to a babysitter or petsitter?
  • How about a maid or cleaning service?
  • Or a parking lot attendant or valet?
  • How about your garage mechanic?
Even an unskilled thief can get a copy of your key made by writing down the code stamped on it -and it only takes moments. Locks provide no protection if others can copy your keys!

And how about the locks on your doors? If they are like most locks available at many retail stores, they have very limited combinations - meaning the chances of your neighbor's key fitting your door are as high as 1 in 50.
It could happen to you!


WHAT MAKES MEDECO UNIQUE

What does Kittle's Lock & Safe Co. put on it's front door? Medeco High Security Locks. Not only used for commercial use, Medeco provides customers with an affordable, higher level of security and key control. How? Here's what Medeco® has done: (put in a box the info below in a different shade)

In our quarter of a century studying burglars, we've found that their biggest enemy is time. Their chances of getting caught rise substantially with each extra minute they take to break into a home.
So we designed our high-security product line with specific features that resist the things thieves do to gain entry. And our high security dropbolts and padlocks also provide protection where you are most vulnerable. So when thieves see Medeco® locks on your home, they may decide it isn't worth the risk!


Tougher than the Toughest Standards
Our Maxum® deadbolt was tested against the standards set for auxiliary locks by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), based on such criteria as ability to withstand kicking, prying, wrenching, hammering, sawing and drilling attacks. The Maxum deadbolt not only exceeded the Grade 1 (highest level) standard in every case, but it exceeded it by as much as 150% in some tests!

A burglary ring can't get past Maxum deadbolt.
For a lock this good, don't go to the corner store. Go to a security professional who's got the Medeco seal on the door. That's the only standard that really counts!

Only Medeco Security Professionals are Authorized to Copy Your Keys.
It's frightening how easy it is for someone to get a copy of your key. You need keys that you can be confident won't turn up in the wrong hands.
Medeco's patented Medeco3 system means it's virtually impossible for someone to get a copy of your keys without your permission. Only Medeco security professionals are authorized to copy your key, and they can only do so with your consent.

  • In 83% of all burglaries, the front door is compromised.
  • The chances of your house being burglarized are 1 in 6.

  • If you just moved into your home and did not change your locks, you have no way of knowing who has a copy of your keys.
  • There are almost 3 million burglaries annually in the U.S. About 37% occur during the day, when entry by duplicate key is more likely.
  • The average loss in a residential burglary is $1,278.
  • Thieves often force the door in or pry it open. They also resort to physically attacking the lock by drilling, hammering, wrenching or sawing the bolt.]
  • The one name burglars don't want to see is Medeco®!
  • Ever give your keys to a parking lot attendant or valet while at that business lunch?

  • Can you print a minute-by-minute report of everyone accessing sensitive areas in your building?
  • Thirty percent of all burglaries are unlawful entry without force - meaning the thief had a key. Chances are, your keys can be duplicated anywhere keys are made, such as hardware stores (30,000 nationwide) and discount stores (26,000 nationwide), and it only takes a few minutes.
  • There are more than a million reported burglaries from businesses each year. The average loss for business burglaries is $1,400. And, for those occurring in the daytime (when an unauthorized key is likely to be involved), the average is more than $1,800.
