Multipoint Trim

Multipoint trim is designed to operate doors equipped with multipoint locking systems—mechanisms that secure the door at multiple points along the frame with a single motion. Commonly used on high-performance entry and patio doors, these systems improve security, enhance weather sealing, and maintain a consistent, smooth closure. The trim not only needs to function flawlessly with the underlying lock mechanism but also must align with the architectural character of the door itself.

The design possibilities for multipoint trim are broad, ranging from minimalist modern levers in brushed stainless to ornate handlesets in hand-rubbed bronze. Finishes can be coordinated with hinges, door pulls, and interior hardware to create a cohesive look from the exterior threshold to the interior living space. Thoughtful proportion and detailing ensure the hardware feels balanced against tall or wide door panels, which often have more visual weight than standard doors.

Installation requires careful attention to alignment, backset, and spindle compatibility to ensure smooth operation of all locking points. Weatherstrip compression, door panel tolerance, and handle height are all factors that influence how the system will feel and perform over time. At CDM Hardware, we help match multipoint trim to specific door systems and design visions, ensuring that every touchpoint is as secure and satisfying as it is visually refined.
