Fuhr Single Point Mortise Locks - Reliable Door Hardware

Finding the Right Replacement for Discontinued Fuhr Single Point Mortise Locks

Fuhr single point mortise locks served as reliable door hardware for many European-style entry doors throughout North America. As these original locks reach the end of their service life, homeowners and repair professionals need compatible replacement options. MPLocks specializes in helping customers navigate the transition from discontinued Fuhr hardware to current production alternatives, ensuring your door continues to function properly without requiring costly modifications to the door itself.

Hoppe Compatibility with Original Fuhr Installations

The good news for anyone with a failing Fuhr single point lock is that Hoppe manufactures replacement mortise locks with nearly identical dimensions. The 45mm backset and 16mm faceplate width match the original Fuhr specifications, allowing for a direct swap without needing to recut the mortise pocket. This compatibility extends to the faceplate screw hole spacing, which means your existing screw holes will align perfectly with the new Hoppe lock.

Common Applications and Door Brands

If you have a Norco, Kolbe, or Weather Shield door from the 1990s era, there's a strong chance it came equipped with Fuhr hardware. These manufacturers chose Fuhr for its quality construction and European engineering standards. When replacing your lock, matching the exact backset measurement is critical—the 45mm (1-3/4 inch) backset was the most common configuration used in these installations.

Measuring Your Existing Lock for Replacement

Before ordering a replacement, measure your current lock's backset from the center of the keyhole to the edge of the faceplate. Confirm the faceplate width (typically 5/8 inch or 16mm) and overall faceplate length. The screw hole spacing of 10-1/8 inches is another key measurement that ensures your replacement will install without drilling new holes. Taking photos of your existing hardware can also help our team confirm you're selecting the correct replacement.
