Truth 5-point tongue multipoint locks combine vertical shootbolts with horizontal tongues for comprehensive door security at five locking points. These pre-packaged new construction kits include everything needed for installation—gear, locking bars, strikes, and cover plates—making them ideal for contractors and homeowners building or replacing entry door lock systems.
Truth Hardware 5-Point Tongue and Shootbolt Multipoint Lock Systems
Truth Hardware's Sentry series 5-point tongue multipoint locks represent a robust security solution for hinged entry doors. These systems engage the door frame at five separate points—combining the strength of vertical shootbolts with horizontal tongues that extend into dedicated strike pockets. Built with 300 series stainless steel construction, these locks are engineered for long-term durability and reliable operation. MPLocks carries complete kits sized for various door heights, ensuring you can find the right configuration for your specific installation requirements.
Complete New Construction Kits for Streamlined Installation
Each Truth 5-point tongue kit arrives as a complete package, eliminating the guesswork of sourcing individual components. The kits include a 45mm backset gear assembly with integrated lower and upper locking bars, a center strike plate, two tongue strikes, two shootbolt strikes, and lock installation cover plates. This all-in-one approach saves time on the job site and ensures every component is designed to work together seamlessly, whether you're a contractor handling multiple installations or a homeowner tackling a single door project.
Five-Point Engagement for Enhanced Security
The combination of shootbolts and tongues creates a distributed locking system that resists forced entry attempts more effectively than single-point locks. Vertical shootbolts extend into the head jamb and threshold, while horizontal tongues secure the door at mid-height positions. This multi-directional engagement also helps maintain consistent weathertight seals by pulling the door firmly against the frame at multiple points, reducing drafts and improving energy efficiency.
Truth 5-point tongue kits are available in various size ranges to accommodate different door heights. When selecting a kit, measure your door from the bottom edge to the top edge and match it to the appropriate size range. The locking bars and extension components are designed to work within specific height windows, so accurate measurement is essential. If your door falls between standard sizes or you're unsure which kit fits your application, confirming the exact dimensions before ordering will prevent installation complications.
