Aluminum 2246 Backplates — HOPPE HLS9000 Replacement Trim & Backplates

Hoppe 2246 Aluminum Backplates for Inactive Door Hardware

When replacing or completing a multipoint lock handleset, the exterior backplate is an essential component that often gets overlooked. MPLocks carries Hoppe 2246 aluminum backplates specifically designed for inactive side applications where no keyed entry is required. These backplates are part of the broader Hoppe HLS9000 ecosystem, meaning they integrate properly with Fuhr multipoint lock systems and corresponding lever trim. The 2246 profile offers a slim, modern silhouette measuring approximately 1-3/16 inches wide, making it suitable for doors with limited stile width or those requiring a streamlined aesthetic.

Durable Aluminum Construction for Long-Term Performance

Unlike plastic or lower-grade metal alternatives, these Hoppe aluminum backplates are built to withstand years of exposure to weather and daily use. The chestnut finish provides a warm, traditional appearance that complements wood-tone doors and hardware schemes. Because they are genuine Hoppe components, you can expect precise fit and consistent quality that matches your existing HLS9000 series hardware without modification or workarounds.

Designed for Inactive Handleset Applications

These 2246 backplates serve a specific purpose: finishing the exterior of doors where the handle side does not require a keyed cylinder or active locking mechanism. This is common on the fixed panel of double doors or secondary entry points. The backplate covers the mounting area behind your inactive lever, providing both weather protection and a polished appearance that matches the active side of your door hardware.

Confirming the Right Backplate for Your Door

Before ordering, verify that your current handleset uses the 2246 backplate profile. Measure the height (approximately 9-5/8 inches or 245mm) and width (1-3/16 inches or 30mm) of your existing backplate to confirm compatibility. The 2246 designation refers to the specific Hoppe profile shape, so matching this number to your current hardware ensures a proper fit without gaps or alignment issues during installation.
