Medeco locks are the gold standard for physical security. Patented key control, pick-resistant design, and bump-proof cylinders protect homes and businesses across Palm Desert.
Medeco locks use a unique sidebar mechanism and angled pin design that makes picking virtually impossible. Keys are cut with precision angles that standard key machines can't replicate — meaning you can't walk into a hardware store and get a copy made.
We're an authorized Medeco dealer serving Palm Desert. When you need a key cut or cylinders rekeyed, we verify authorization and maintain key control records. This ensures only authorized people can duplicate keys to your property.
Standard locks are vulnerable to:
Medeco locks eliminate these vulnerabilities. The sidebar and angled pins make picking impractical. The restricted keyway prevents unauthorized copying. Hardened inserts resist drilling.
Common in Palm Desert: Luxury homes in Bighorn, Desert Willow, and Indian Ridge increasingly install Medeco for insurance compliance and peace of mind during snowbird season when properties sit vacant.
Mul-T-Lock uses pin-in-pin telescoping technology and restricted key control. Popular for commercial properties and high-security residential applications.
Mul-T-Lock cylinders feature telescoping pins that create multiple shear lines — far more complex than standard locks. The keys use a dimple design with restricted blanks available only through authorized dealers.
We install Mul-T-Lock for businesses on El Paseo, medical offices, and residential properties that want maximum security without the Medeco price premium. Mul-T-Lock offers comparable pick resistance at a slightly lower cost.
Both are high-security. The difference:
Both prevent bumping. Both have restricted keyways. Both exceed UL 437 standards. The choice often comes down to budget and personal preference.
Lock bumping is a common break-in technique that works on 90% of standard locks. High-security locks eliminate this vulnerability.
Lock bumping uses a specially cut "bump key" and a small hammer to force pins into position, allowing the lock to turn. It works on most Schlage, Kwikset, and standard Yale locks. An experienced person can bump a lock in under 30 seconds — and it leaves little evidence.
Medeco uses a sidebar that must align independently of the pins. Mul-T-Lock uses telescoping pins that can't be bumped into position. Schlage Primus combines sidebars and traditional pins. These designs make bumping ineffective — the lock simply won't open even with a bump key.
If you live in a high-value property, have experienced a break-in, or want the best physical security available, yes. Bump-proof locks add measurable protection. Law enforcement and insurance companies increasingly recommend them for homes and businesses with valuable assets.
