	The M3 uses five or six pin-tumblers that provide [[axial rotation]] to interface with a [[sidebar]].		The M3 uses five or six pin-tumblers that provide [[axial rotation]] to interface with a [[sidebar]]. It uses standard, mushroom, and barrel drivers.

	The M3 sidebar differs from previous models because it has small grooves cut out where the slider arms fit into. Functionally, it is the same as other Medeco sidebars; pin tumblers are properly rotated by the correct key and the sidebar legs can interface with the gates on each pin-tumbler.
