Can I use the Bold Smart Lock with Core Pull Protection and Multi-Point Locks?
Seamlessly integrate your Bold Smart Lock with enhanced security features and multi-point locking systems.
The Bold Smart Lock is designed to work effortlessly with both core pull protection and multi-point locking systems. Whether you use one or both, the Bold Smart Lock provides robust security without compromising on ease of use.
Compatibility with multi-point locks
A multi-point lock secures your door at multiple positions (typically top, middle and bottom), offering more protection than a standard single-point lock. The Bold Smart Lock can control these systems either via direct cylinder rotation or through a separate lever mechanism.
Common configurations such as 3-point or 5-point locks are fully supported. Thanks to its freely rotating euro profile cylinder, the Bold Smart Lock fits a wide range of modern door security setups.
Core pull protection
Core pull protection involves metal fittings that fully enclose the cylinder to prevent it from being pulled out. The outer knob of the Bold Smart Lock is mounted on a slim 3 mm pin, making it compatible with virtually all core pull protection systems.
However, be aware of limitations when using longer extension pieces. For example, with the SX-33 model and an outer length of 45 mm, the pin may be too short to securely mount the outer knob in combination with core pull protection. In that case, we recommend switching to the SX-35 model, which is designed for larger outer lengths.
Placement and exposure to weather
The Bold Smart Lock is not intended for full outdoor exposure. The inner knob, which houses the battery and electronics, must always be placed indoors or in a sheltered area. It is not waterproof and performs best between 10–40°C with 10–60% humidity.
Make sure the large inner knob is always protected from rain and extreme temperatures.
Availability of half cylinders
Bold does not currently offer half cylinders. Only standard euro profile cylinders with full functionality are available.
In summary
The Bold Smart Lock is a flexible and secure choice for doors with core pull protection and multi-point locks. Just make sure to:
• Install the inner knob indoors or in a weather-protected area
• Choose the correct model (such as SX-35) for longer outer lengths and core pull protection
• Avoid using half cylinders – they are not supported
With the right configuration, Bold offers you top-tier security combined with intuitive smart access.
