When the enhanced Maxum deadbolt was tested against the toughest performance standards set for auxiliary locks by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), we at Medeco were a little embarrassed.

Although the standards are okay for basic retail locks, they're not good enough for Medeco, or the lock-smiths who carry our products. And they shouldn't be good enough for you.

We've spent a quarter of a century studying the ways burglars compromise locks. We've found that their biggest enemy is time. Their chances of getting caught rise substantially with each extra minute they take to get into a home or business.

That's why we designed every inch of Maxum with specific features that resist the things thieves do to gain entry. So when they see Medeco lock on the door, they decide it isn't worth the risk.

For a lock this good, don't go to the corner store. Go to a security professional who's got the Medeco seal on the door. That's the only standard that really counts.

ANSI auxiliary lock standards are based on such criteria as ability to withstand impact, torque, and load. Locks were subjected to two levels of tests; Grade 1 and Grade 3, with Grade 1 being the most severe. Grade 3 standards are used to measure lesser-quality deadbolts. In independent laboratory tests, Maxum not only exceeded the Grade 1 standard in every case, but exceeded it by as much as 150% in some tests.
