Multipoint Lock Measuring Devices - Precision Tools

Accurate Measuring Tools for Multipoint Lock Identification

Finding the correct replacement hardware for multipoint locks often hinges on precise measurements. European manufacturers like Hoppe, Fuhr, and G-U Ferco specify critical dimensions—such as backsets, PZ spacing, and faceplate widths—in millimeters, while American door hardware traditionally uses inches. MPLocks offers measuring devices designed specifically to bridge this gap, giving you the conversion references needed to confidently identify compatible replacement parts for your door or window lock system.

Essential for Cross-Referencing European and American Lock Specifications

When replacing multipoint lock components, getting measurements right the first time saves both time and frustration. A backset listed as 35mm on a European lock needs to be accurately converted to confirm it matches your existing hardware. These measuring tools provide instant reference between millimeters and inches, eliminating guesswork when comparing specifications from different manufacturers or matching parts across various multipoint lock brands commonly found in residential and commercial applications.

Dual-Sided Design for Quick, Reliable Conversions

The conversion charts in this collection display millimeter measurements on one side and inch equivalents on the other, covering the most common ranges encountered in multipoint lock hardware. This dual-sided format allows for rapid back-and-forth reference without calculations or smartphone apps. Whether you're measuring cylinder lengths, strike plate dimensions, or handle screw spacing, having a physical reference tool on hand streamlines the identification process considerably.

Understanding Common Multipoint Lock Measurements

The most frequently needed conversions involve PZ measurements (the distance from the center of the cylinder to the center of the handle spindle), backset dimensions, and faceplate widths. European multipoint locks commonly use 92mm PZ spacing, which translates to approximately 3-5/8 inches. Knowing how to accurately convert these critical dimensions helps ensure your replacement cylinders, handles, and lock cases will align properly with your existing door preparation and strike plates.
