Therma-Tru Multi-Point Lock

The Therma-Tru door offering comes with a Therma-Tru approved, multi-point lock. It has a relatively low profile with tongues that pivot out, or shoot bolts that extend into the sill and head jamb. This lock has a unique feature that prevents the tongues or bolts from extending when the door is in the open position, preventing damage to the frame. It is recommended to use a multi-point lock on 8 tall foot doors.

When buying a lock for a single door, the system consists of three tongues which all connect with the side jamb or mullpost. The Single Multi-Point Locking System includes Manual Tongue System Gear Box, Tongue System Top Extension, Tongue Strike Plate Package (Installed), and the Active Handle/Trim Packages (Field Applied).

When buying a lock for a double door, the system consist of one tongue in the middle and two shootbolts – one that goes into the head jamb and one into the sill. Thr Double Multi-Point Locking System includes Manual Shootbolt System Gear Box, Shootbolt System Top Extension, Shootbolt Strike Plate Package (Installed), and the Active & Inactive Handle/Trim Packages (Field Applied).

Tru-Lock Multi-Point System

Tru-Lock Multi-point System offers 2 points of contact approximately 18” apart, and requires the least amount of prep. Doors using Tru-Lock are not affected by cut downs but can only be used on 1-3/4” doors. It is used with wood doors that are 6/8, 7/0, or 8/0 in height.

The multi-point operates in place of a deadbolt. The key and thumb turn operates the flip bolts that lock into slotted strike in the jamb. There is an option to use Schlage and Baldwin handlesets. The Tru-lock system can be used with any standard door lock because it works off the deadbolt mechanism of your door.

Multi-Point Lockset Strike Prep

The strike side of the jamb must be prepped for the latch bolts. There are two prep options for the Therma-Tru level-style multi-point lock: a mortise strike and a lip strike. The mortise strike prep may also be known as a captured strike.

Impact Rated Units

Many coastal areas of the United States have special building codes to make sure homes are built with safety in mind. Impact Products are designed to have a higher than normal ability to withstand wind borne debris. By assembling specific impact products in a specific way, the unit can be Impact Certified.

Impact Products

Impact glass features a special construction. The interior pane, which is tempered, will break into small pieces. The exterior pane, which is laminated, will help prevent debris from penetrating into the home. The Impact-rated glass will have a “LAMI” watermark on the glass. Impact lip-lite frames have an aluminum construction. Their attractive scrolled profiles gives a thin, sleek appearance and a screw channel cover helps hide unsightly screws.

Impact Doors features a built-in 24-gauge steel plate lining and has an “Impact” label on the hinge side of the door. This label should never be removed, painted or stained over. Impact-rated doors pass a large missile impact test where a 9 lb. 2” x 4” stud is blown into the doors at 34 mph. Due to the steel lining, the door cannot be cut to allow glass in this door. The door must be special ordered from Therma-Tru with the glass installed.

Rating Types

WBDR Impact

A Wind Borne Debris Regions (WBDR) Unit combines a Structural Door with Impact Glass. This unit can withstand wind forces up to 167 mph. With the exception of the Outer Banks, Reeb’s service area is located in the WBDR region which has the potential of lower grade hurricanes. Only certain area are able to label a WBDR unit.

HVHZ Impact

A High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) Unit combines an Impact Door with Impact Glass. This unit can withstand wind forces up to 175 mph. Areas that have extreme winds and hurricanes are in the HVHZ area, primarily SE Florida, parts of Texas, and the Outer Banks of NC. Only certain areas can label a HVHZ unit.

Reglazing Transoms

Therma-Tru transom units are brought in with a primed frame around the transom. If the rest of the unit uses another frame material, the frame around the transom needs to be removed and replaced with the matching material. This procress is known as reglazing.

Transom with Primed Frame

Transom with Oak Frame

Reeb can reglaze Elliptical and Rectangular Transoms from a primed frame to an On-Guard composite frame, or a pine, oak, mahogany or fir wood frame with jamb depths of 4-9/16” or 6-9/16”.

Mortise Lockset Door Edge Prep

A standard mortise pocket is 1” wide by 6-1/2” high by 4-1/8” deep. This size will work for most Emtek and Baldwin mortise locks. If any other sizes are necessary, a template must be provided to properly cut the pocket for the lock. Some mortise locks are more involved and should be considered a field installation. The strike prep should be completed in the fieldto ensure the best placement.

An additional note: Fiber-Classic, Smooth-Star, Profiles, and Traditions doors will not prep well for a 1-1/8” mortise lock. Due to the bullnose, the edge protrudes and gives an unpleasing look. The edge prep shouldn’t exceed 1” on these doors.

Reinforced Transoms

Double door units are a common doorway for either a front or patio entryway. The addition of a transom is common, but the weight on the transom from the structure above may cause the transom to sag in the middle adding stress to the door unit, making the door difficult to operate. Reinforced transoms are the standard offering for all double door unit.

A piece of 5/4 Clear Pine sits on top of the head jamb as a reinforcement and the transom sill sits on top of this reinforcement. The glass is stopped in with a specialized “L Bracket” composite stop. To cover and protect the exposed pine edges, a piece of 1/4” x 4” composite mill casing is cut into two pieces and placed over the wood. This method encapsulates the pine reinforcement.

Example of a reinforced 5-1/4″ transom unit.

The glass used to create a reinforced transom is 1″ shorter in height to maintain the same transom unit dimension as all other transoms. Due to this, single doors also have the option of having a reinforced transom. In some homes, the front door is in view of another door unit. If one transom has 12″ glass and another 11″, it may not look aesthetically pleasing. If ordering multiple doors units that will be in view of one another, this is something to consider.

Multi-Point Locksets

The best option for security is a multi-point lock. By definition, multi-point locks secure the door to the frame or astragal at multiple points. This locking system provides a better seal, and enhanced security for your home. However, multi-point locks require additional preparation in the face and edge of the door, as well as the frame. The lock mechanism sits in a pocket in the edge of the door and the edge needs a channel routed to connect the mechanism to the other points of contact.

Multi-point locks are especially beneficial in two scenarios. First, with 8’ tall doors, to prevent warping and maintaining a good seal the entire length of the door. In fact, you’re doing your customer a disservice if you don’t highly recommend multi-point locks with all 8’ tall doors. And second, in extreme wind situations, when the pressure is so great that it could separate the door and weather strip, creating a leak.

Double Doors

There are some special considerations regarding double door applications. First, installation is more critical than for single units. The unit has to be square for the door panels to meet evenly. It’s imperative that the head jamb be secured as well. The head and sill capture preps for flush or astragal shoot bolts are done in the field. The head jamb capture plate needs to be mortised into the head on site, and make sure the sill capture cup supplied is caulked in place to avoid possible water infiltration.

For double doors, the decision must be made whether the inactive door will receive any prep. Most inactive handlesets simply screw to the face of the inactive door, leaving an aesthetically pleasing look on the inactive door that matches the active door.
