Medeco® Security Locks, a division of ASSA ABLOY N.A., introduced its new Medeco XT Dual-Tech Cylinder at the ASIS International 62nd Annual Seminar and Exhibits show September 12-15 in Orlando, Florida.    

Cylinder Technology

The patent-pending Medeco XT Dual-Tech retrofit cylinder is designed for both accountability and rapid-entry applications. It combines two cylinder technologies—the Medeco XT electronic cylinder and the Medeco X4 mechanical cylinder—in one mortise cylinder housing.

  • The Medeco XT electronic cylinder provides everyday access and gives the user full control and accountability by leveraging all of the features of Medeco’s powerful XT Web Manager software.
  • The Medeco X4 mechanical cylinder is ideal for local fire departments because it uses simple and familiar mechanical key technology, allowing rapid entry for inspections or emergency responses.

Rapid Entry Applications

"The ability to use either the
mechanical or electronic key
makes this cylinder ideal for
any situation where rapid
entry is required

Both cylinders operate independently of one another so access is provided using either the XT key or the X4 key,” said Gene Cronin, Medeco XT and Aperio Product Line Manager. “Having the ability to use either the mechanical or electronic key makes this cylinder ideal for any situation where rapid entry is required.”

The Medeco XT Dual-Tech Cylinder uses existing hardware so no hard wiring is required and it retrofits a variety of cylinder formats. Product can be ordered either pinned or sub-assembled for the Medeco X4 cylinder and includes two keys.

For more information about the Medeco XT Dual-Technology Cylinder, visit Medeco booth #3601 at the 2016 ASIS show the week of September 12-15.
