Fuhr Tongue Multipoint Lock Parts & Replacements

Replacement Solutions for Discontinued Fuhr Tongue Multipoint Locks

Fuhr was a respected European manufacturer known for producing reliable multipoint locking systems with tongue-style locking devices. These locks secured doors at multiple points using flat tongue latches that extended into strike pockets in the frame. Although Fuhr tongue multipoint locks are no longer in production, MPLocks maintains detailed records of these systems and offers compatible Hoppe replacement kits designed to work with existing door preparations. Each discontinued Fuhr lock listed in this collection includes information about its direct replacement option, making it easier to identify the correct solution for your specific installation.

Understanding Tongue-Style Locking Mechanisms

Tongue multipoint locks differ from hook or shootbolt designs by using flat, rectangular locking tongues that slide horizontally into the frame. Some Fuhr tongue locks feature automatic operation where the tongues engage when the door closes, while others require manually lifting the handle to deploy the locking points. This tongue design provides strong resistance against forced entry while maintaining smooth operation over years of use. When replacing a discontinued Fuhr tongue lock, matching the locking mechanism type ensures your door continues to function as originally designed.

Critical Measurements for Fuhr Lock Replacement

Successfully replacing a Fuhr tongue lock requires matching several key specifications. The backset measurement (typically 35mm or 45mm on Fuhr locks) determines how far the lock case sits from the door edge. The PZ spacing—usually 92mm or 70mm—indicates the distance from the center of the handle spindle to the center of the keyhole. These measurements must align with your replacement lock to ensure proper handle and cylinder alignment without modifying your door or existing hardware cutouts.

Matching Door Height and Overall Lock Length

Fuhr tongue locks in this collection accommodate various door heights, typically ranging from 71 inches to over 92 inches in overall length. Most multipoint locks can be trimmed from the top to fit shorter doors within their specified range, but they cannot be extended for taller applications. When measuring your existing lock, note the overall length and the positions of each locking point relative to the handle center—these dimensions help identify which replacement kit will align properly with your existing frame strikes.
