Medeco High Security Locks

Medeco high security cylinders with exacting tolerances require routine maintenance to ensure smooth operation. Medeco exclusively recommends the use of Fluid Film to lubricate all Medeco cylinders. Fluid Film is a fast acting, invasive and long lasting lubricant that provides lubricity up to 10 times longer than other products when applied to high-use locking devices. Fluid Film is readily available world-wide and is the only cylinder lubricant used in the Medeco factory. Medeco does not recommend the use of other lubricants and is not responsible for lock damage caused by their use.

Procedure:

• Shake can well with nozzle opening pointing away from the face.
• Place the plastic spray tube against the keyway opening and press the nozzle down using a very brief burst of spray.
• Allow the lubricant to penetrate the cylinder for 10 seconds before inserting the key. Wipe away excess lubricant with a cloth if necessary.
• Operate the key in the cylinder several times to ensure disbursement of the lubricant.
• It is also recommended to clean the sidebar area of the cylinder: Insert the key and turn 90 degrees clockwise. Place the end of the plastic spray tube as close as possible to the top shoulder of the key. Spray with a quick burst. This will clean and lubricate the sidebar slot on the inside surface of the cylinder’s shell.
