Replacement Medeco Springs

Postby Divinorum » 5 Mar 2014 15:40

Hey all, I am looking for replacement springs for an original Medeco Lock (Pre Biaxial). I found a website that has Medeco springs but I'm not entirely sure which spring is correct. The website does not have any pictures of the springs.

Here is a pic of an original spring: http://i57.tinypic.com/aph57a.jpg

And this is what the website offers.
Medeco CP030001 Bag of Tumbler Springs, 100 Pieces
Medeco CP030042 Bag of Stainless Steel Tumbler Springs, 100 Pieces
Medeco CP030590 Top Springs, Bag of 300 Pieces

Or is there a better supplier? Appreciate any guidance, thanks!

The first one should be fine, unless you need stainless steel.

Thanks Jeffmoss26. I was confused when I saw both Tumbler Springs and Top springs as choices. What's the difference?

CP030590 are for Keymark, not Classic/Biaxial.
