Multi-point lock
A locking system that throws bolts at several points along the door edge with one lift-and-turn of the handle, instead of a single deadbolt.
What it means for you
A real security-and-sealing upgrade, common on fiberglass entry and French/patio doors — it pulls the whole door tight to the frame, which also improves the weather seal. On a tall or exterior door it's worth the difference.
Where you'll see it
A hardware upgrade on entry, French, and premium patio doors.
