The door jamb contributes to fire protection
An interlocking fire-safe jamb works with the seamless fire fill to reduce heat paths around the door.
The lock has backup defenses
A large hardplate and two relocking devices protect the mechanism if an attacker targets the keypad or lock body.
Repeated guessing triggers a lockout
The illuminated electronic lock imposes a penalty period after repeated incorrect entries.
Burglary resistance was independently tested
The UL RSC certification verifies performance under standardized tool and pry attacks rather than relying solely on marketing language.
