Hinged Screen Doors

The second choice is a three-point lock. A three-point lock has the same central lock body as the single lock , however at the point that the door is manufactured and based on the specific measurement inputs that you have given us, we will place rods within the door frame to locate the two additional lock tongues. One is located above the door, in most cases 400 mm to 500 mm above and again 400 mm to 500 mm below the main central lock. The rods then connect the main lock body to the two additional lock tongues, it is simply a matter of locking your door as per usual with either the key or the internal keyless snib to lock the door. There is no fundamental difference after the door has been manufactured and installed from an operation perspective, between a three-point lock and a single lock. Although there is a significant difference in the level of security that a three-point lock will give your particular door in comparison to a single lock.
