Continuous locking

The way all doors should Lock.

Scroll
Full length

Head to sill.

TYTO system runs the entire edge of the door. A true integrated entry system.

Performance

A tighter seal.

42% less air leakage when locked, in independent lab testing. Canadian A3 air rating on tested system.

Wide choice of handlesets

Your customers pick the hardware.

Wide choice of trim including Schlage, Baldwin, Rocky Mountain. Supports several popular electronic locks.

High-performance latch

Quality feel, simple to use.

A dual-spring polished steel latch that makes any handleset and entry door feel premium. Works like a deadbolt, not a multipoint.

Only TYTO

The original continuous locking system.

Beautifully designed door edge. Anodized 6063 aluminum in clear or black.

How it holds

Held everywhere.

The wedge engages the jamb along the full height of the door. Independent lab: DP 100+, against DP 70 for a steel deadbolt on the same door.

Security

Three times the forced-entry requirement.

Exceeds ASTM F476 Grade 40, the top forced-entry grade: 500 ft-lbf against the 148 required, in independent lab testing.

Strength

Built to stay straight.

The door edge is reinforced with a rigid aluminum box, and the aluminum jamb channel is designed to resist warping. Put it on every 8′ door.

For door brands

One more operation than a deadbolt.

Standard dual bore, plus one CNC pass down the slab edge and one on the jamb. Less machining and labor than a multipoint.

Fits your line

Standard slabs. Standard backset.

Fits 6/8 and 8/0 slabs in wood, fiberglass or steel with a machinable edge.

The technology

A continuous lock. Not a multipoint.

A multipoint locks a door at three points, and all three have to line up with the frame. TYTO hangs like a deadbolt, with no extra drilling on site.

  • An entry system with integrated lock. TYTO was designed as a system, joining the frame, slab and lock into a single system.
  • Rigid box on edge and jamb. Designed to keep the door aligned and resist warp.
Illustration comparing a multipoint lock, which holds the door edge at three points, with TYTO, which engages the full height of the edge. Under load, gaps open between the multipoint's points while TYTO spreads the force along the entire height.

Performance

Numbers behind the feeling.

Homeowners feel it when the door closes. Door makers can see it in the lab. Certify your own systems with TYTO.

DP 125+

Internal testing, current designIndependent lab: DP 100+ on an earlier version, stopped before failure. A steel deadbolt on the same door: DP 70.

42%

Less air infiltration, independent labSimply by locking. Canadian A3, the top air rating.

1 Million+

Cycles, documented internal testingIndependent lab: 240,000 cycles, surpassing the ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 3 cycle test.

Independent results are from an accredited lab testing earlier TYTO versions on 6′8″ inswing fiberglass doors (ASTM E330, E283, F476; ANSI/BHMA A156.2). Internal results are from our own documented testing of the current design. Performance varies with door and frame.

Design

Great hardware makes a great door.

The entry door is the first impression of a home. TYTO is designed to be seen, felt and heard. Homeowners know quality when they feel it.

  1. A clean edgeMinimal visible screws. Black or clear anodized. TYTO matches any door style.
  2. Materials you can feelHardware has been cost-reduced for years. TYTO is anodized aluminum and polished steel, the kind of quality homeowners notice and pay for.
  3. The sound of the closeWe tuned how the door sounds when it shuts, so it feels like a well-engineered system.

Your handleset.

An open system. Customers choose a standard deadbolt and latch, or an electronic lock, in the brand, style and finish they want.

For door makers

Built for the pre-hang shop. Works the way you work.

TYTO fits the way pre-hang shops already work. Standard dual bore, then one CNC pass down the slab edge and one on the jamb.
