Gunnebo currently manages some of the largest, national scale, intelligent key systems in Canada, and has market leading partnerships with Medeco, iLOQ and other manufacturers.

The security industry has relied on the UL437 standard for decades as the benchmark against which all high security lock solutions are measured. Since pioneering the first UL437 system over 50 years ago, Medeco remains the premiere manufacturer of UL437 certified solutions, and continues to develop platforms to protect against evolving risks.

Gunnebo’s latest Medeco platform, M4, builds on this legacy of high security by incorporating active elements to protect against emerging risks such as 3D printing. With the widest range of cylinders in the industry, Medeco lock cylinders can be retrofitted to virtually any hardware, expanding the reach of the master key system, and simplifying management and control so you can focus on your core business with peace of mind.

Keys are protected by Federal Utility Patents, defending against unauthorized duplication, maximizing security and key control. All Medeco keys incorporate custom coining, (unique ID/Marking) to identify the key’s origin, and keys produced by Gunnebo are sequentially marked to aid in key audits and system management.

As Canada’s largest locksmith, Gunnebo’s in-house experts provide end-to-end solutions, including site surveys and system design, installation and support, and management services, all focused on maximizing your security while minimizing impacts to your budget.

The bedrock of every key system solution is key control. For more than 50 years, Medeco has led the industry in this field, and has a proven track record of actively protecting systems that is unrivaled. As the largest Medeco Security Centre in the country, no other security partner offers more effective key management programs and solutions than Gunnebo.

Since its introduction, Medeco’s X4 platform has become one of the most popular solutions in the market for providing true patented key control. Available in conventional and small format interchangeable cylinder (SFIC) formats, X4 can be easily deployed throughout an organization to secure everything from the overrides on EAC doors, to offices and storage areas, cabinets and even padlocks.

All keys are protected by Federal Utility Patent, against unauthorized duplication, ensuring maximum key control, and incorporate custom coining, (unique ID/Marking) to identify the key’s origin. Gunnebo also sequentially marks each key to aid in key audits and system management.

As the nation’s largest locksmith, Gunnebo’s in-house experts provide end-to-end solutions, including site surveys and system design, installation and support, and management services, all focused on maximizing your security while minimizing cost.

Unrestricted key systems remain one of the most prevalent key solutions found in the marketplace today. As these systems do not incorporate any form of key control or high security, they are very economical to deploy, and can be found securing doors, padlocks and displays across the country.

Whether your key system is an older platform where the patent has expired, but you wish to maintain it in place, or your organization simply relies on open commercial keyways for lower risk areas, Gunnebo’s experts can service and maintain all these systems seamlessly and economically.
