Medeco locks?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

I highly doubt E-Bay will see it that way when you explain that you were tricked into believing these were actually Medeco Locks,
due to the boxes being present in the picture--Last week I bought one lot of used Mortise Cylinders, I thought, because there was
a picture of a whole bunch of mortise cylinders in the photo, a few days later, when I received one old mortise cylinder, I immediately
disputed it and got my money back right away--It never even actually got past the vendor to E-Bay, because, as I said earlier, the seller
wants to keep their scam going, and will return your money before E-Bay steps in & closes their account

Any and Every time I am disappointed with a purchase I let someone know, except that one time I bought a bunch of Medeco cylinders
that I had no blanks for, they were actual medeco locks, so I couldn't see a reason to complain


The formula is really quite simple--If you thought you were buying Medeco locks and you didn't get any, you can demand a refund :twisted:


True. Another problem is I then have to pay $50 to ship them back and get my $200 back. Losing $50 leaves me with $150 left and I think the locks are at least worth that.

Honestly, outside of the hobbyist circles, they're not worth jack crap. You might get a few bucks for them on ebay. Practice locks is a good idea.
