HOPPE Shootbolt Socket Strikes for Multipoint Locks

Solid Brass Socket Strikes for HOPPE Shootbolt Multipoint Locks

Socket strikes, sometimes called thimble strikes, are essential components in shootbolt multipoint lock systems. Unlike surface-mounted strike plates, these strikes install flush into the door frame, creating a clean pocket that receives the shootbolt when extended. MPLocks stocks HOPPE socket strikes in brass and oil-rubbed brass finishes, designed to coordinate with your existing hardware while providing the durability needed for daily use. These compact strikes work with HOPPE HLS9000 and other European-style shootbolt systems.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Performance

Each socket strike in this collection is manufactured from solid brass, offering excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The compact dimensions of 14mm x 20mm allow for clean, unobtrusive installation in wood or composite door frames. Brass construction ensures the strike pocket maintains its shape over thousands of locking cycles, providing consistent shootbolt engagement without wear-related loosening or misalignment that can occur with lesser materials.

Simple Installation with Improved Weathersealing

Installing a socket strike requires only a drilled hole in the frame—no mortising or complex routing. This streamlined installation approach reduces labor time while creating a tighter seal around the shootbolt entry point. The recessed design minimizes air infiltration compared to open strike plates, contributing to better energy efficiency and reduced drafts around your entry door.

Selecting the Right Throw Depth for Your System

When choosing a socket strike, matching the throw depth to your shootbolt is critical for proper engagement. These strikes accommodate 3/4 inch (approximately 20mm) throw shootbolts, which is standard for many HOPPE multipoint configurations. Before ordering, measure how far your shootbolt extends when fully locked—this measurement should match the strike's throw specification. Using a strike with insufficient depth prevents full shootbolt engagement, compromising security.
