Fundamentals of the Carded Program:

Medeco's voucher and electronic controlled Card Programs Policies and Procedures (Levels II and V) are designed to ensure that users get the maximum key duplication protection and convenience, in addition to protection against physical attacks. Only users with an authorized card may obtain duplicate keys for their Medeco locks. These programs are also made to provide the assurance to the authorized cardholder that he or she is the only authorized agent able to request additional authorization cards for other users or to transfer the authorization to another in cases of the user leaving the business or institution. Key control programs that utilize a “credit card” type card to assist in proper authorization of duplicate keys include SKY, GLD, NUK, Patriot, Liberty, Gotham, DND and KeyMark Silver.

 Master Key Registry Card – an authorization card issued with a new Master Key system. The authorization card has the company name, address, authorized cardholder's name, and registry number embossed on it. The card pertains to groups of cylinders which are to be combinated so that all may be operated by their own change key(s) and by additional key(s) known as master key(s).

Blind Code Card - an authorization card assigned to a particular key combination for future reference when additional keys or cylinders may be needed.

Name Authorization Card – same as Blind Code Card except that an individual's name is personalized on the front of the authorization card to make the card unique.

MK-120G - a form issued by Medeco to obtain additional authorization cards or to change authorization for a particular blind code or master key system to a different individual.

 Rules for the Replacement of all Medeco plastic authorization cards:

If you or your customer have lost, misplaced, destroyed, or never received an authorization card, Medeco recommends the locks in question be re-keyed to maintain security of the key system. If this is not possible a Release & Indemnity Agreement for replacement cards must be completed and returned to Medeco for processing. The form must be completely filled out, notarized, and mailed back to Medeco Card Services.

A new form must be requested and returned for each code or card that was lost, stolen, or destroyed. The Release & Indemnity Agreement can be obtained by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-800-839-3157. In Canada call 1-888-633-3264. Original signatures are required and all pages of the agreement must be sent in. You must provide Medeco with an actual Medeco key that Medeco can decode or take the key to an authorized Medeco dealer for decoding and send the information, along with a photocopy of the key, to Medeco for processing. If you do not have access to a key for your system, then no authorization card will be processed. Each agreement must be notarized and must include a $45 US processing fee. As many cards as needed may be requested at this time with no additional charge.

Faxes cannot be accepted. If the registry card for a Master Key system is being requested and no authorized cardholders are available, additional proof of authorization may be needed. If another company has purchased an organization and registry cards are not available, additional documentation is needed to provide the new authorized individuals with registry cards. Examples of the documentation needed include a copy of a contract for buildings from a management company or a copy of the bill of sale for an organization. There must be proof that authorization is granted to the requestor in order to receive another authorization card. This rule only applies if the card administrator finds there is not enough evidence with a Release & Indemnity to issue authorization cards to new individuals.

If blind code or name authorization cards are available but the current authorized cardholder(s) are no longer with the organization:

The person or persons who will be accepting the responsibility for duplicating keys for the organization's

blind code or name authorization card security system must return the previous authorized cardholder's card(s) along with a notarized letter on company letterhead, stating that the authorization should be turned over to him or her. All persons that will be accepting authorization must print and sign their names on the letter. There is a $20 US processing fee associated with this process. As many cards as needed may be requested at this time with no additional charge. Faxes cannot be accepted.
