HOPPE Spindles & Set Screws for Multipoint Locks

Replacement HOPPE Spindles and Set Screws for Multipoint Lock Handles

When a multipoint lock handle feels loose, wobbles, or fails to operate the lock mechanism properly, the spindle or set screw is often the culprit. MPLocks carries the complete range of HOPPE spindles designed to work with both HOPPE and Fuhr multipoint lock systems. These precision-engineered components ensure that your interior and exterior door handles connect securely through the lock case, transmitting the turning motion that retracts latch bolts and engages the multipoint lock. Whether you're replacing worn components or completing a handle installation, having the correct spindle length for your door thickness is critical for proper function.

Spindle Lengths Matched to Door Thickness

HOPPE spindles are manufactured in specific lengths to accommodate different door thicknesses commonly found in residential and commercial applications. The 110mm spindle fits 1-3/8 inch sliding doors, while the 120mm version is designed for standard 1-3/4 inch entry doors. For thicker doors, the 140mm spindle works with 2-1/4 inch doors, and the 160mm spindle accommodates doors from 2-3/4 to 3 inches thick. Using the correct spindle length ensures that handles sit flush against escutcheon plates and operate smoothly without binding or excessive play.

Two-Piece and Split Shaft Spindle Designs

This collection includes both standard two-piece spindles and split shaft configurations. Two-piece spindles are assembled during installation—the spindle is disassembled, inserted through the lock case from each side, and then connected with a screw. Split shaft spindles feature a design that allows the set screw to engage properly, creating a secure connection between handle and spindle. Panic spindles with swivel designs are also available for use with HOPPE Multitronic electronic multipoint locks, providing the panic function operation required in certain applications.

Selecting the Right Spindle and Hardware

To choose the correct spindle, first measure your door thickness accurately. Standard exterior doors are typically 1-3/4 inches thick, but older homes and custom doors may vary. The spindle width is consistently 8mm across HOPPE products, fitting the standard square hub in HOPPE lever handles. When replacing spindles, installing new set screws is strongly recommended—the M6 stainless steel set screws in this collection provide corrosion resistance and reliable handle retention. Handle bushings are also available to ensure a proper fit between lever handles and escutcheon plates.
