HOPPE 16mm Manual Tongue Shootbolt Bottom Gear

HOPPE HLS9000 16mm Manual Tongue/Shootbolt Bottom Gear Assemblies

The HOPPE HLS9000 manual tongue/shootbolt bottom gear is a critical component in European-style multipoint locking systems. These assemblies serve as the lower half of 3-point and 5-point lock configurations, providing both tongue and shootbolt engagement at the bottom of the door. MPLocks carries a range of these specialized bottom gear units with varying handle heights, backsets, and tongue positions to match specific door manufacturer requirements, including configurations for Weather Shield and Windsor doors.

Precision-Engineered for Reliable Security

Each HOPPE manual tongue/shootbolt bottom gear features dual locking points—a tongue that engages the strike plate and a shootbolt that extends into the threshold. The deadbolt throw typically measures 1 inch (25.4mm) while the shootbolt throw is 3/4 inch (20mm), providing solid security at the door bottom. These assemblies are available with both 35mm (1-3/8 inch) and 45mm (1-3/4 inch) backsets, accommodating different door stile thicknesses commonly found in residential and commercial applications.

Compatible with Complete HLS9000 Multipoint Systems

These bottom gear assemblies integrate seamlessly with other HOPPE HLS9000 components, including top extensions and center lock cases. The 16mm faceplate width matches the standard HOPPE routing specifications, making these units ideal replacements for worn or damaged bottom sections. Whether you're repairing an existing system or sourcing parts for a new installation, these assemblies maintain the quality and precision HOPPE hardware is known for.

Measuring for the Correct Handle Height

When selecting a replacement bottom gear, always measure from the bottom of the 5/8-inch wide faceplate to the center of the handle spindle hole. This handle height measurement is fixed and cannot be adjusted once the unit is installed. Common handle heights in this collection range from 36 inches to over 54 inches for specialty applications. The tongue position, measured from the handle center to the bottom locking point, is equally important—most units feature tongue positions around 24.41 inches, though variations exist for specific door manufacturers.
