Retail Distribution Center – Success Story
A retail customer needed a keying solution for their distribution center. They wanted to restrict access to some areas of the building while allowing access to others. A concern was the possibility of employees duplicating keys and compromising security. They were utilizing generic SFIC cores for their existing key system which needed to be updated. The customer wanted a solution that secured all pedestrian doors, required minimal hardware replacement, and was also compatible with the current management structure and building layout.

The Solution
The Medeco X4 small format interchangeable cores are the most economic and efficient solution. Medeco X4 has one of the largest master key capabilities on the market and easily retrofits into existing systems so installation time is minimal. This allows facility managers to tie everything together under one key for ease, convenience, and efficiency.
Outcome
We created a complete master key system that fits everyone’s access needs. Medeco X4 SFIC cores were interchanged with existing hardware which saves hardware replacement costs and the install time was greatly reduced. The restricted keyway protects the customer’s building, because only licensed dealers can provide keys and cores. Therefore, the customer’s employees cannot duplicate any keys. Also, the master key system was built to allow room for expansion and additional facilities to utilize the same system.
