Medeco Security Locks’ M3 Logic electronic cylinder (eCylinder) was named a 2012 Top Product by Building Operating Management magazine. These lock cylinders let facilities managers and security professionals add audit and scheduling to nearly any opening by simply replacing the cylinder. Along with the M3Logic key the technology can control a combination of mechanical and electronic cylinders leading to increased strength, accountability and loss and liability protection.

The Top Products Awards recognize the most popular manufacturers and suppliers of the year, as determined by building and facility executives who participated in a national survey. M3 Logic was selected among 560 products that were submitted for consideration and will be featured in the magazine’s January 2012 issue.

M3 Logic combines some desirable characteristics such as audit trails, scheduling and the ability to efficiently add or delete users. It requires no wiring, door or frame modifications, or additional hardware since it is a simple cylinder replacement. M3 Logic works in both interior and exterior applications and can be retrofitted into existing hardware in minutes, dramatically reducing installation expenses and costing a fraction of traditional access control solutions.

M3 Logic keys are compact and patent protected against duplication. Keys hold up to 1,000 audit events, feature multiple time schedules, and incorporate both visible and audible status feedback. It’s an honor to be recognized by both our peers in the industry and by our customers for providing a high-quality, cost efficient solution that addresses today’s security, and loss and liability challenges, said Joseph Kingma, director of eCylinder Business Development. M3 Logic offers the benefits of audit and scheduling as an add-on to new and existing Medeco mechanical systems, offering the best of both electronic and mechanical security.
