Hoppe Roller Shootbolt Multipoint Locks - HLS9000 Hardware

HOPPE HLS9000 Roller/Shootbolt Lock Systems for European-Style Entry Doors

The HOPPE roller/shootbolt configuration represents a hybrid approach to multipoint locking, leveraging the forgiving alignment of roller engagement while providing the robust security of steel shootbolts extending into the door frame. MPLocks specializes in these Euro-style locking systems, which are commonly found on premium wood and fiberglass entry doors from European-influenced American manufacturers. The roller component allows for minor frame settling and seasonal wood movement, while the shootbolts deliver the holding power needed for secure entries. Understanding your specific door's handle height and lock configuration is essential when sourcing replacement components for these systems.

Hybrid Security Design for Demanding Applications

The roller/shootbolt combination addresses a common challenge in multipoint lock design: balancing ease of operation with maximum security. The roller engages smoothly even when door alignment shifts slightly over time, ensuring reliable latching without the binding issues that can plague hook-style locks. Meanwhile, the shootbolts—extending at both the top and bottom of the door—provide structural resistance against forced entry. This dual approach makes the roller/shootbolt configuration particularly well-suited for exterior entry doors where both daily convenience and long-term security matter.

Critical Handle Height Variations by Door Manufacturer

One of the most important factors when replacing a HOPPE roller/shootbolt lock is matching the exact handle height to your existing hardware. While 36 inches is the most common specification, variations exist based on the original door manufacturer. Kolbe & Kolbe doors typically use a 35-3/4 inch handle height, some Windsor doors feature a 35 inch measurement, and Crestline doors were built with 37 inch heights. An unknown configuration at 37-3/4 inches also exists in the field. Ordering the wrong handle height means the lock won't align with your existing door cutouts.

Support Plates and Shootbolt Stabilization

Proper shootbolt function depends on adequate support within the door panel. Shootbolt support plates, like the stainless steel option available in this collection, reinforce the shootbolt channels at the top and bottom of the door to prevent wobbling or misalignment over time. When shootbolts feel loose or fail to extend smoothly, a worn or missing support plate is often the culprit. These plates are typically 7/8 inch wide and install along the shootbolt travel path to maintain consistent engagement with the frame strike.
