HOPPE 20mm Tongue Bottom Gear for HLS9000 Multipoint Locks

HOPPE HLS9000 20mm Tongue Bottom Gear for Manual Multipoint Locks

The 20mm (3/4 inch) faceplate width tongue bottom gear assemblies in this collection are essential components for HOPPE HLS9000 multipoint locking systems. MPLocks carries these lower assemblies complete with the lock case attached to the faceplate—HOPPE does not offer lock cases sold separately. These tongue-style units differ from shootbolt or roller configurations, using a protruding tongue bolt to engage the strike plate for secure door closure. Each assembly is engineered for manual operation, requiring users to lift the handle and turn the thumbturn or key to fully extend the deadbolt.

Manual Gear Operation and Build Quality

These tongue bottom gear assemblies feature stainless steel faceplates built to withstand years of daily use. The manual gear operation provides tactile confirmation of proper engagement—lift the handle to deploy the tongue, then turn the thumbturn or key to extend the deadbolt with its 1-inch throw. To unlock, simply turn the thumbturn or key and depress the lever. This straightforward mechanical operation ensures reliable performance without electronic components that could fail over time.

Backset and PZ Configuration Options

This collection includes bottom gear assemblies in both 45mm and 60mm backset configurations, with 92mm PZ spacing (the distance from handle center to cylinder center). The 92mm PZ is the European standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of HOPPE handleset trim and euro profile cylinders. Matching your existing backset measurement is critical for proper door operation and ensures the tongue aligns correctly with your frame strike.

Tongue Location and Handle Height Measurements

When selecting a bottom gear assembly, tongue location is measured from the handle center—available positions in this collection include 24.41, 26.42, and 29.65 inches. Standard handle height is 36 inches, though variations exist for specific door configurations. These measurements must match your existing door preparation or the new lock will not function properly. If you have an unusual configuration or do not see the exact specifications you need, the MPLocks team can help identify the correct part.
