Multipoint Lock Strikes

Multipoint Lock Strike Plates for Secure Door Frame Engagement

Strike plates serve as the critical receiving hardware that allows multipoint lock bolts, hooks, and rollers to engage securely with the door frame. Unlike single-point deadbolt strikes, multipoint lock strikes must align precisely with multiple locking points positioned along the full height of the door. Proper strike alignment directly affects lock operation, weather sealing, and overall security performance.

Understanding Multipoint Lock Strike Configurations

Multipoint locking systems use various strike types depending on the lock mechanism and door frame construction. Shootbolt strikes receive the upper and lower bolts that extend into the frame head and threshold. Hook bolt strikes feature curved pockets that accept rotating hook latches for enhanced security. Roller strikes provide the compression needed for proper weatherstrip engagement. Each strike type requires precise positioning to function correctly within the complete multipoint system.

Hoppe and GU Strike Plate Solutions

Both Hoppe and GU manufacture strike plates engineered specifically for their multipoint lock systems. These strikes maintain the exact dimensional specifications required for proper bolt engagement and door compression. Adjustable strike plates accommodate minor frame variations and allow fine-tuning of door fit after installation. Replacement strikes restore proper lock function when original hardware becomes worn or damaged.

Strike Plate Selection and Compatibility

Selecting the correct strike plate requires matching the strike profile to your specific lock mechanism and frame preparation. Key specifications include strike length, pocket depth, mounting hole spacing, and faceplate width. Hoppe and GU strikes are not interchangeable due to different bolt geometries and engagement patterns. Identify your lock manufacturer and model before ordering replacement strikes to ensure proper fit and function.
