Responding to the need for easy-to-operate, easy-to-maintain products, Milgard developed the innovative SmartTouch® window lock and door handle.
The SmartTouch window lock mechanism is incorporated into the window sash for a sleek, low-profile design. It operates effortlessly. One smooth, single motion opens or closes the window, and locks it. No pinching, squeezing or twisting.
SmartTouch offers peace of mind you can see. When the handle is down, the window is locked. When the handle is up, the window is unlocked. It’s easy to use for all ages and physical abilities.
The lock assembly is made from die-cast zinc so it's not only tough, it's built to last. Using AAMA certification testing guidelines, independent lab engineers demonstrated that the SmartTouch lock exceeds rigorous California forced-entry codes by 25%.
The SmartTouch handle has a sleek, ergonomic design and hidden lock mechanism. A simple one-touch motion unlocks, opens and closes the door, making it accessible and usable for all ages.
The SmartTouch handle's lock and grip combination exceeds all California forced-entry requirements, which are among the most rigorous in the nation.
In 2014, Milgard introduced a secondary lock for patio doors --- an industry first. SmartTouch® Bolt is a fully integrated steel bolt that secures the sliding patio door firmly into the top frame with the flip of a lever. As an added benefit, SmartTouch Bolt can let the fresh air in while keeping the door secure in a vented position.
Choose our SecurityMAX package which includes a multi-point locking system paired with the SmartTouch® Bolt. The multi-point lock is activated with a single motion of the SmartTouch door handle, engaging four locking points and securing the door in the top frame, bottom track and at the handle. This provides five points of security on your patio door.
