ᐅ Front door: Triple or five-point locking without an automatic locking system?

There are also other options. I have a 7-point locking system (meaning there are simply 7 hooks and bolts) and a motorized lock. This means that when I let the door close, the motor locks it automatically. A simple push of the handle opens the door from the inside. That was important to me, because with other providers you still had to press some additional switches. For opening from the outside, I can use a key (which I don’t prefer), a fingerprint scanner, or a remote control, similar to a car. The lock, fingerprint scanner, etc. are from Fuhr. The door is made of wood and hasn’t warped so far. It is also flush on both sides with an overlap on the frame, with a door leaf thickness of 70mm (2.8 inches) and triple glazing. You need to be careful not to get a thin insert or overlay panel, as these insulate poorly and tend to warp.

That’s exactly what I said.

I have now also decided on the motorized lock option. Since I am planning a home automation system anyway, I thought this was a good alternative.

Thank you very much for the helpful comments.

Can you share some information about the product or post a link? I’m still considering how to integrate the door into the home automation system.

I’m not at that stage yet, but I will install it later. Considering how quickly the market in this area is growing, there will surely be at least 100 new products by then.

It ultimately depends on which system you choose—KNX, Loxone, wireless, and so on.

Well, the doors/locks I have looked at never use a specific protocol but are rather "dumb." You control them with an additional component of the solution – that’s why I thought you had already made a choice.
