Force 8 has introduced a door package that pairs the newly launched Tedee Pro locking system with the Apecs euro cylinder and auto lock hardware.

According to Force 8, this combination delivers a superior level of security that automatically secures the deadlock, while offering the modern convenience of keyless entry via a smartphone.

To reinforce its commitment to security, the lock manufacturer is offering a £5,000 insurance-backed guarantee, in the event that a door equipped with the Tedee Pro system is forcibly breached.

At the heart of the package is said to be the ‘unique functionality’ that sets the Tedee Pro locking system apart. Unlike traditional locks, which require manual engagement to fully secure the door, the Tedee Pro with auto lock hardware automatically deadlocks the door as soon as it is closed. This feature addresses a critical security gap.

The auto lock system typically secures the hook bolts when the door is closed, but for added security, it requires the homeowner to manually engage the deadlock with a key from the outside. According to Force 8, people often simply pull the door closed without this final step, inadvertently leaving their homes vulnerable to unauthorised entry.

With Force 8’s new system the Tedee Pro locking system provides instant deadlock engagement, ensuring that the door meets the highest security standards the moment it closes an innovation tht aligns with insurance recommendations for secure locking.

Another notable feature of the Tedee Pro system is its battery-powered operation. This eliminates the need for additional wiring, making installation ‘straightforward and minimally invasive’.

For installers, Force 8 adds that this means reduced time on-site and fewer complications, while homeowners benefit from a seamless upgrade that doesn’t require structural modifications to their home. Standard use has a battery life of nine months before a recharge is needed, which is monitored on the Tedee app.

Beyond its core security functionality, the Tedee Pro locking system offers a range of optional smart features that are designed to further enhance convenience and flexibility. Homeowners can add remote locking and unlocking capabilities, allowing them to control their door remotely from a smartphone.

The system is said to be compatible with various smart home integrations.

Priced at £685 + VAT, Force 8 says that it is ‘a powerful selling point’ for installers who want to offer their clients ‘something unique and truly value-added’.
