HOPPE 16mm Tongue Extensions for HLS9000 Locks

HOPPE 16mm Manual Tongue Top Extensions for Multipoint Lock Systems

When replacing or building a HOPPE HLS9000 multipoint lock system, the tongue extension serves as a critical upper component that secures the top portion of your door to the frame. These 16mm faceplate extensions are part of HOPPE's two-piece manual tongue lock design, where the top extension connects to a separate bottom assembly containing the gearbox. MPLocks carries a complete range of extension lengths to accommodate door heights from under 80 inches to over 10 feet, ensuring you can find the right fit for standard residential entries or oversized commercial doors.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

Each HOPPE 16mm tongue extension is manufactured with a stainless steel faceplate that resists corrosion and maintains smooth operation over years of daily use. The manual tongue mechanism engages when you lift the handle, extending the tongue bolt into the strike plate at the top of the door frame. This robust construction makes these extensions suitable for both new installations and replacements on existing HOPPE multipoint systems where the original hardware has worn or become damaged.

Versatile Sizing with Cut-Down Capability

Many of these extensions can be field-cut to achieve precise fitting for non-standard door heights. Extensions in this collection range from approximately 41 inches to over 82 inches in length, with tongue positions measured from the handle center to the bottom of the tongue when extended. For taller doors requiring additional security, a dual-tongue extension option provides two locking points at the top of the door, spaced 22 inches apart for enhanced engagement.

Measuring for the Correct Extension Length

Selecting the right tongue extension requires measuring from the center of your handle to where the tongue needs to engage the frame. Most configurations assume a 36-inch handle height, but door heights vary significantly. When measuring your existing extension, note the overall length and the tongue position relative to the handle center. If your door height falls between standard sizes, choose an extension that can be trimmed down—most units allow for several inches of adjustment to achieve the perfect fit.
