Medeco padlock w/ CHUBB biaxial cylinder

[ThE_MasteR]

Post a picture of the key, most specifically the tip. Both sides if possible. Post pictures of the key bow also.

I bought the locks without the keys.

I can't recall for sure without doing some research but I am thinking that chubb uses the bilevel system. It uses the biaxial system but also uses an offset pin at the key tip if I recall correctly.

I guess they mention it in LSS, but I won't ask you to watch them all over again

I don't think that the lock is bi axial. The Chubb cylinders in my collection that are biaxial have the logo. It is still a Medico and I don't believe that a biaxial would be more difficult, so have fun with it

I haven't been picking Medeco for too long, but so far I would agree with maxxed. Without going into any details, for me the hardest part is rotating the pins once I've felt that the sidebar is in a false gate. Biaxial or non-biaxial pins are no harder than the other to determine when they are falsely set, and they are both equally difficult to rotate (maybe I will find one is easier to rotate with more practice, but right now, no). In all other aspects of picking them, there is no difference.

In Canada Chubb is now called Gunnebo is it the same in the UK ?

I dont think so perhaps ive just not heard about it yet but no i dont think so.

Which happen to be the same thing as Medeco M3

Chubb also make the bi-axial and pretty much anything medeco does i think.

Medico,I'm sure makes the locks for Chubb, putting Chubbs name on the lock and keys

Well the Chubb (who incidentally are owned by the assa abloy group) website say,

"A worldwide utility patent protects both key and mechanism until 2021"

So i think that Medeco actually owns the Biaxial patent so the M3 must be made under license by Chubb with Medeco actually owning the license.

Medico makes many different keyways in the biaxial and any company willing to pay for custom logo on the keys can get it, there are two local companies that have done so. I believe that Medico is doing all the manufacturing of the M3 and logoing the product to the customers prefence

The keyway shown in the picture above is a Medeco Original keyway '03'. I believe that chubb has exclusivity on this keyway and is available at all chubb locksmiths. Chubb also has a biaxial keyway 'P4'.
