Most consumer smart locks are built for a single deadbolt. A FERCO multipoint entry door locks at several points along its height at once, which is exactly why it's more secure, and exactly why bolting a generic smart lock onto it doesn't work the way people expect. Tedee PRO is one of the few smart-access products actually built and distributed through FERCO specifically for multipoint hardware, mounted on the interior side of the door. But whether it gives you a fully hands-free experience or still requires one manual step depends entirely on which type of FERCO mechanism is on your door, and that's the part most product pages skip.
What Tedee actually does, mechanically
Tedee PRO mounts on the interior side of a compatible Euro-profile cylinder and turns that cylinder electronically, the same motion your key normally makes. What it cannot do is physically lift a door handle. That distinction matters more on a multipoint door than almost anywhere else, because how a FERCO multipoint system engages its locking points determines whether Tedee can operate the door on its own or needs help from you first.
The distinction that actually matters: automatic vs. conventional
FERCO makes both types, and they behave differently.
Automatic multipoint mechanisms
On an automatic system, closing the door itself projects the upper and lower locking points into place. Turning the cylinder then engages the centre deadbolt and completes the lock. Because the handle-lift step isn't part of the sequence at all on this type, Tedee can operate the entire lock on its own: close the door, and the electronic cylinder turn is the only remaining step, which Tedee handles.
Conventional multipoint mechanisms
On a conventional system, the homeowner has to lift the handle first to drive the locking points into place, and only then does turning the key or cylinder engage the deadbolt. Tedee can still turn the cylinder electronically on this type, but it cannot lift the handle. That means the multipoint points themselves won't be engaged unless the handle is lifted manually first, so Tedee's electronic unlocking on a conventional mechanism only fully secures the door if that step still happens.
Why this matters before you buy: a product page or salesperson saying "Tedee works with FERCO multipoint locks" isn't wrong, but it isn't the whole answer either. Whether you get a genuinely hands-free entry experience or one that still involves lifting the handle depends on which FERCO mechanism is actually on your door, not on the smart lock itself.
Why the interior mounting is worth mentioning
Tedee PRO sits on the inside of the door rather than replacing the exterior handle or cylinder housing with visible electronics. For a higher-end fiberglass or steel entry door where the exterior finish and hardware are part of the design, that matters: the door's outward appearance doesn't have to be dominated by a bulky smart-lock housing the way many standalone smart deadbolts require.
What a keypad adds, and what it doesn't replace
A compatible exterior keypad lets someone enter with a PIN code without a phone or physical key in hand, and individual codes can be assigned to different people, useful for family members, a cleaner, or a contractor who only needs temporary access. A keypad communicates with the lock over Bluetooth on its own; it doesn't require an internet connection or a separate bridge device just to function locally. An internet-connected bridge is a separate, optional addition for remote functions like unlocking the door while you're away from home, and it depends on your home's power and network connection to work, unlike the lock and keypad's local operation.
What we won't claim: no smart lock, multipoint or otherwise, should be marketed as unhackable, burglar-proof, or impossible to bypass. We also won't promise a specific battery life in months, since that depends heavily on how often the lock is used and how the door is aligned, or claim that every FERCO multipoint mechanism behaves identically. The honest answer to "will this work exactly like the demo video" is: it depends on which mechanism is on your door, and that's worth confirming before you buy, not after.
Considering smart access for a multipoint entry door?
The right answer depends on the specific hardware on your door, not a generic compatibility claim.
