Locking Options
3-Point Locking
The 3-Point Locking System has been engineered as a significant upgrade from traditional single-point locks, delivering the strength, stability and long-term reliability that modern security standards demand. Designed with both installers and end users in mind, it combines robust performance with ease of installation and smooth operation.
By securing the door at the top, middle and bottom, the multi-point locking mechanism enhances protection against forced entry while keeping the door leaf and frame tighter and more rigid when closed. The fully integrated threshold reduces draughts and water ingress, improves weather sealing, and adds structural reinforcement, helping maintain alignment during installation.
Manufactured from durable, high-quality materials, the system offers long-term reliability even in demanding environmental conditions. Its reinforced construction and multi-point locking also improve resistance against high wind pressures. Smooth locking action and balanced door movement make operation effortless, while installers benefit from a design that ensures correct positioning and alignment with minimal effort.
The 3-Point Locking Door System is the ideal solution for professionals seeking a secure, reliable and high-performance door that meets the demands of both modern security requirements and challenging weather conditions.
Thumb Turn Cylinder
A thumb-turn cylinder locking mechanism is also available as an additional accessory across the Steel Side Hinged door range
Thumb-turn locks are a security solution for end users who can lock or unlock their doors without needing a key. With a key required to lock the door from the exterior, the thumb-turn lock on the interior provides health & safety benefits as well as offering an increase in convenience for the end user. An example of this would be in an emergency such as a fire; there is no need to worry & waste valuable time trying to locate your keys, with the thumb-turn offering a quick, key-free exit.
The thumb-turn is available in brushed silver, matching the handle. However, if an order is placed with a black handle, the thumb-turn itself will still be the brushed silver finish, with only the escutcheon matching the black handle.
