How do automatic door locks work?
In a simple world all automatic door locks would work the same way however they all slightly different. The similarity lies within that they will all lock the door for you automatically just by you closing the door.

This is unique to the A-TS automatic door lock with others only locking the top and bottom locking points leaving your deadbolt unlocked unless you manually lock it with a turn of the key. With the A-TS automatic locking mechanism it knows when to throw and activate the locking points due a clever magnet system that monitors when the door is closed shut.This ensures not only a secure locking but also means your door will have a perfect straight closing edge, limiting the chances of your door bowing, as all locking points engage by just closing the door.
The A-TS door lock also includes two additional latching points over and above the standard one, these ensure that when the door is closed it does so parallel to the frame and ensures an even compression of the door, ensuring that all of the locking points can freely enter the striker plates.This method of closing/locking at all three points (only achievable with the A-TS Automatic Door lock) also means maximum thermal efficiency performance.
