Multipoint Lock Handlesets

In this video, we discuss multipoint lock handlesets and go over terms such as active, inactive, and dummy.

Active - This function includes a key cylinder located on the outside of the door and a thumb turn on the inside. It is most commonly used on exterior doors where access from the outside is restricted by the use of a key. The thumb turn allows the door to be locked and unlocked from the inside.

Inactive - This function includes a thumb turn on the inside of the door and no key cylinder on the outside. The inside handle will operate lock while the outside handle remains fixed or rigid. Commonly used on exterior doors where access from outside is restricted. Thumb turn allows the door's deadbolt to be locked and unlocked from the inside only.

Dummy - This function has no key and no thumb turn. Both the inside and outside handles are in a fixed or rigid position, meaning they do not move at all. This is commonly used on interior doors that are non-active and do not have a multipoint lock.
