Door Hardware 101: How Rutland’s Multipoint Lock benefits the door industry, from manufacturer to end user.
A brief introduction to the RMP3
The Rutland Multipoint lock is a versatile, high-performing choice of lock.

The RMP3 is compatible with 54mm thick door frames and has been tested to BS EN 12217, meeting the requirements of class 2. It also provides easy operating forces across latching, disengaging, locking and unlocking.
The advantages of RMP3 for you
Are you a door manufacturer striving for streamlined production? Or a council seeking robust, compliant security solutions for your residents? Here are just a few of the advantages of the Rutland Multipoint Lock.
RMP3 benefits for Door Manufacturers
Rutland’s Multipoint Lock provides significant advantages for doorset manufacturers from its non-handed versatility, through to the easy adjustment of all three keeps. This lock simplifies installation with its self-locking and auto-locking functions, providing significant convenience for both residents and users. Additionally, it supports the efficient operation of self-closing fire and security doors with its dependable smooth latching action.
The keeps on Rutland’s RMP3 Multipoint Lock also help door manufacturers save valuable time during the timber frame production process. Compared to the recessed keeps on other locks that typically require extra finishing, the flush keeps on the RMP3 eliminate any requirement for hand-painting to cover raw timber areas.
Advantages of the RMP3 to end users
Housing Associations and Councils often enquire about the secure automatic locking system provided by Rutland. Thanks to the hook bolts “automatically” firing and locking, the resident simply has to throw the deadbolt to secure the door. A key advantage of the automatic locking hooks at the top and bottom is that the resident doesn’t need to lift the handle to lock the door. This ensures that no matter the individual’s strength, residents can feel confident that the door is securely locked.
From Rutland’s experience working with Councils and Housing Associations, many residents add extra locks when they have a single-point lock installed on their door, often for added peace of mind regarding security. However, this can lead to the doorset becoming non-compliant with its original testing and approval. The benefit of installing the Rutland multipoint lock with its 3-point locking system is that it offers high security from the outset, eliminating the need for residents to add extra security measures for peace of mind.
