This 73 to 81 inch double door multipoint lock kit from Truth Hardware provides a complete 5-point tongue locking system for French door installations. Designed for pairs of hinged doors, these kits include the gearboxes, extensions, and locking points needed to secure both active and inactive leaves. Ideal for homeowners and contractors replacing worn multipoint systems on standard-height double French doors.
When double French doors lose their secure engagement or become difficult to operate, a complete multipoint lock kit offers the most reliable path to restoration. These Truth Hardware 5-point tongue assemblies are engineered specifically for door heights between 73 and 81 inches, a common range for residential French door pairs. MPLocks carries these kits to help contractors and homeowners restore full function to their double door entries without piecing together individual components. The tongue-style locking points provide smooth, consistent engagement with the strike plates on both the frame and astragal, ensuring both doors seal securely when closed.
Replacing multipoint hardware on double doors requires coordination between the active leaf and the passive leaf. These kits are configured to address both, including the necessary gearboxes, extension pieces, and tongue bolt mechanisms sized for the 73 to 81 inch height range. Rather than sourcing individual parts that may or may not work together, a complete kit ensures compatibility across all components. This is especially valuable when the original lock system has failed completely or when previous repairs have introduced mismatched hardware.
The tongue-style locking mechanism featured in these kits provides a different engagement profile compared to hooks or shootbolts. Tongues extend horizontally into strike pockets, creating a secure connection that resists forced entry while remaining easy to operate with a single handle motion. For double door applications where both leaves must seal properly against weather and security threats, the 5-point configuration distributes locking force across multiple locations along the door edge, reducing stress on any single point.
Proper measurement is essential before ordering a multipoint lock kit. Door height should be measured from the top of the door slab to the bottom, not including any threshold or weatherstripping. For double door installations, both doors should fall within the 73 to 81 inch specification. If your doors measure outside this range, Truth Hardware offers kits for other height increments. Additionally, confirm the backset dimension and faceplate width of your existing hardware to ensure the new kit will align with your door prep.
