## Why Multi-Point Locks Matter in Canada If you have a European-style or modern entry door in Canada, you likely have a multi-point locking system. These sophisticated locks are essential for our climate and offer superior security compared to standard deadbolts. ### What is a Multi-Point Lock? Unlike traditional locks that secure your door at a single point, multi-point locks engage at 3 or more locations along the door edge: - **Main deadbolt** - Central locking point - **Hookbolts** - Additional engagement points at top and bottom - **Compression bolts** - Pull the door tight against the frame ### Why They're Popular in Canada Multi-point locks became standard for several reasons: 1. **Weather sealing** - They pull the door firmly against weather stripping 2. **Energy efficiency** - Better seal = less air infiltration 3. **Structural integrity** - Distributes force across the frame 4. **Security** - Multiple engagement points resist forced entry ### The Smart Upgrade Challenge Traditional smart locks aren't compatible with multi-point systems, leaving many Canadian homeowners without smart options—until now. ### Introducing the Gatekeeper Pro Avyra's Gatekeeper Pro is perfect for Canadian multi-point door systems. It replaces your existing lock cylinder while adding: - 3D Face Recognition - Palm Vein scanning - Fingerprint recognition - PIN code access - App control via Tuya - NFC card compatibility - Traditional key backup All while maintaining full multi-point functionality and withstanding temperatures down to -20°C.
