HOPPE Auto Release Strikes — Multipoint Lock Strike Plates for Doors

HOPPE Auto Release Strike Plates for Automatic Multipoint Locks

Auto release strike plates are essential components for automatic multipoint locking systems, designed to trigger the lock's engagement mechanism upon door closure. MPLocks carries genuine HOPPE and Fuhr auto release strikes that work seamlessly with European-style multipoint locks. These precision-engineered strike plates activate the rollers, tongues, or other locking points automatically, providing convenient operation without requiring the user to lift the handle to engage the lock. For a polished installation, matching underplates are available to cover any gaps around the strike plate cutout on your door jamb.

Automatic Lock Engagement Without Manual Handle Lifting

The primary advantage of auto release strike plates is their ability to engage all locking points on your multipoint system simply by closing the door. This feature is particularly valuable for high-traffic entry points where consistent security is essential. When the door contacts the strike plate, it triggers the automatic mechanism within the lock case, deploying the rollers or tongues into their locked position. This ensures your door is secured every time it closes, even if you forget to lift the handle.

Multiple Finish Options for Coordinated Hardware

HOPPE auto release strikes are available in three finishes—brass, nickel, and oil rubbed brass—allowing you to match your existing door hardware. Each finish is designed to coordinate with HOPPE's extensive lineup of handlesets, cylinders, and other multipoint lock components. The optional underplates provide a clean, professional appearance by concealing any imperfections or gaps around the strike plate installation, giving your door jamb a finished look that complements your hardware selection.

Selecting the Right Auto Release Strike for Your System

When choosing an auto release strike plate, confirm that your multipoint lock is an automatic version rather than a manual lift-to-lock system. Automatic locks are designed to work with these specialized strikes and will not function properly with standard strike plates. Measure your existing strike plate dimensions and note the finish of your current hardware to ensure a proper match. The HOPPE auto release strikes measure approximately 1.30 inches wide by 2.40 inches long, while the Fuhr version measures 1-5/8 inches square.
