Marc Tobias and Tobias Bluzmanis demonstrate for Charles Graeber at Conde Nast headquarters in New York how Medeco high security locks could be bumped and picked, using their patented “code setting keys.” The article appeared in Wired in July, 2009. The information also was documented in “Open in Thirty Seconds: Cracking one of the most secure locks in America” by Tobias and Bluzmanis.

Many security upgrades and modifications have been made in Medeco cylinders and deadbolts since the publication of the Wired article and book. It is still one of the best and most reliable high security locks in the world.
