HOPPE 16mm auto tongue/shootbolt bottom gear components provide the essential locking mechanism for European-style multipoint door systems. These automatic bottom gear units combine tongue and shootbolt functionality, engaging into the floor strike when the handle is lifted for secure, multi-point locking. Ideal for homeowners and professionals replacing worn or damaged bottom locking components on HLS9000 series multipoint locks.
The bottom gear assembly is a critical component in any HOPPE multipoint locking system, responsible for anchoring the door securely at the threshold. These 16mm auto tongue/shootbolt units are engineered for the HLS9000 European-style multipoint lock platform, featuring automatic engagement that activates when the handle is lifted. At MPLocks, we stock genuine HOPPE bottom gear components designed for precise compatibility with existing multipoint lock assemblies, ensuring your door returns to full security function after repair.
Unlike manual bottom gear options, auto tongue/shootbolt assemblies engage automatically when you lift the door handle to the locked position. This design eliminates the extra step of manually throwing a separate bolt, making daily operation more convenient while ensuring consistent security. The automatic mechanism is particularly valuable for high-traffic entry doors where users may forget to engage all locking points manually.
These 16mm faceplate bottom gear units are specifically manufactured for the HOPPE HLS9000 multipoint lock ecosystem. The 16mm dimension refers to the faceplate width, which must match your existing door preparation and lock assembly. HOPPE's European engineering standards ensure smooth operation, corrosion resistance, and long service life even with frequent daily use in residential or light commercial applications.
Before ordering a replacement bottom gear, measure your existing faceplate width to confirm the 16mm specification. You'll also want to note the overall length of the current bottom gear and the backset measurement from the faceplate to the center of the spindle hole. Taking photos of your existing hardware and any visible part numbers helps ensure you select the exact component needed for a proper fit without modification.
