Hoppe Multipoint Door Hardware

WHAT IS MULTIPOINT?

The best way to describe multipoint door locking hardware is to contrast it with the more common single point hardware found on most doors.

• A single point mortise lock consists of a latch and deadbolt only. The deadbolt provides the single locking point between the door and jamb.
  


• A multipoint mortise lock has multiple locking points which simultaneously lock into place through the action of a continuous travel drive rail. This drive rail is usually activated by lifting the door handle. We offer a shootbolt system which provides three locking points:
• at the deadbolt,
• at the top shootbolt (where it enters the top jamb),
• and at the bottom shootbolt (where it enters the sill).

ACTIVE DOORS VS. INACTIVE DOORS

• Active doors use different hardware than inactive doors.
  


• An active door is either a single door, or the primary functioning door in a pair of French doors (the door that opens first). The latch and deadbolt will always be part of the active door hardware.
  


• An inactive door is the secondary functioning door in a pair of French doors. This door can only be opened after the active door has been opened.

WHAT WE OFFER:

We offer two kits below - one for an active door and one for an inactive door - that have been configured to fit common door sizes.

• Each kit contains all gear components required. This saves you from ordering all the pieces separately, such as the drive rails, lock case and shootbolts.
  


• Trim is not included in these kits. Trim includes handles, backplates, and the lock cylinder. We can supply trim from Hoppe or other manufacturers that will fit this gear.
