- Multi-point lock doors are steps above standard doors. They improve weather sealing, prevent forced entry, and give you peace of mind. Jeff goes into detail about what makes these doors unique.

I will definitely be looking at multi-point locking systems when replacing doors. I would also think they would pay for themselves when selling my home in addition to the benefits you described. Another great video Jeff!
Yes, I don't think I would buy another door that did not have these.
I’ve lived with these in a newish-build rental while we build for almost a year and I hate them. The doors are wood and swell/shrink. When the door won’t align you can’t lock up the house. Even though the door is shut, the lock won’t engage until you’ve successfully pulled the handle up and I guess the swelling of the door or settling of the house is just enough to make it impossible! It’s a major issue.
I don't like wood doors. A good door won't have that issue.
WE'RE in florida and got an estimate for soft-lite windows. Have you heard of them before? Any good? I believe they are more of a northern window but i think they are infused with td....Florida heat is awful and were looking for a great window that saves energy and hurricane impact.
Can it be added to an existing door?
Not really. It requires special equipment to create the routing for the pistons and mechanisms.
@@HoustonWindowExperts thank you
Curious who makes the entry door you showed at the beginning? Is this an upgrade or comes standard?
What's your opinion of the pano lock system? on a Provia steel legacy door?
It's a great product
@@HoustonWindowExperts Firstly - thank you for responding! Do you have any reservations about the plastic components within the door that make up the locking system?
I can't find any reviews about that particular locking system - locksmiths seem to have less than stellar opinions of multipoint locks in general - unreliability seems to be the number one complaint.
@jankyemailer I have probably sold a thousand of those doors in the last 10 years, and I've had no issues with the locking point whatsoever. In fact, I can't think of any issues we've had whatsoever with any part of the door

@@HoustonWindowExperts Look forward to working together. One of my colleague is also called Jeff. You and Him met each other at IBS earlier time.
Great 👍
can smart locks work with that?
Not yet.. I think only one or two have started down that path. Expect it to be common place in a few years.
@@HoustonWindowExpertsEndura PanoLock+ has a PDF listing compatible smart locks!
Is it possible to install an Aqara u200 smart lock over top the deadbolt on a multi point lock?
@@zakhutsul8227 It needs to handle the extra torque to turn the heavier mechanism. So it's an issue of the motor whether or not it'll work.
Yes, it can be done. However, it will be problematic because of the extra torque required. You'll need to be sure you pull the door against the weatherstripping to release some tension.
Could you recommend a supplier/installer in the Central Florida area?
