Unlike its predecessors, the "New" version addresses three major pain points: latency, software dependency, and physical feedback.

Unlike the monolithic design of the past, the 1822 New cylinder separates the cam (actuator) from the plug. This allows locksmiths to swap between euro-profile, rim, or mortise configurations without disassembling the entire pin stack—cutting installation time by 40%.

Security shouldn't come at the cost of style. The Multikey 1822 New sports a sleeker, lower-profile design compared to its predecessors. Available in modern finishes like matte black and satin chrome, it disappears into the door, offering a clean look that complements contemporary architecture.
