SALEM, Virginia (PRWEB)

ASSA ABLOY today announced the introduction of Medeco’s All Weather Padlock (AWP Series), a hefty stainless steel addition to Medeco’s line of high security padlocks. The AWP Series is designed for installations requiring reliable, rugged service performance in the most extreme weather conditions.
