How to handle mortise locksets and multipoint door locks

[schapper05 (Jason)]

Magnetic locks on residential applications can have serious security/safety concerns that come with them see these related posts from a similar thread

Smart lock alternative (Thought) (electric strike)

JD as always has it right, but since nobody specifically said anything yay or nay on the mag lock… In case of a fire how would you disable the lock? It would need to be fail safe (which if memory serves are most of the mag options available) for fire safety, which would also mean if the power went out your door would be unlocked, is that acceptable? I would highly recommend not using a mag lock. There are many retrofit electric strikes that can be used like the posted link they could be set to the favored fail secure (locked when no power) for code/safety (typically, you still should to check local codes to be sure). But depending on your use case it may be easier/cleaner to use a zwave deadbolt.

Smart lock alternative (Thought) (electric strike)

This is what threw me. I thought you were talking about a Magnetic lock which is a common commercial security item, but would definetly need some forethough if it were to be applied in a residential application, not an electric strike - The posted thread has some helpful information in it. Since it’s for your home Make sure you use Fail Secure, so when you lose power your door isn’t unlocked. Fail safe operates the opposite, it’s only locked when power is applied.

Has anyone seen solution for multipoint door locks in the USA?

One of the surface mounted deadbolts may work for you like the august(questionable integration with ST), or danalock(poor reviews on gen 1 gen2 coming out soon) solutions, But if your multip point patio door needs another action like mine(lifting handle up to lock top and bottom points before turning the deadbolt) then it would only provide a closed status, and sometimes… if you remember to lock the other points lock your door.
