Door Lock Extensions & Shootbolts

Shoot Bolts & Door Lock Extensions

French door slave leaf loose, or the top or bottom bolt broken? Shoot bolts lock the top and bottom of a door. You can often replace just the shoot bolt or extension, not the whole lock.

We stock French door finger shoot bolts from Mila, Maco and Avocet, the Fuhr 856R / 856V extension set, and corner sets from Yale (200mm), Avocet Trivalent (160mm) and GU (160mm).

What to Check

French door slave leaf

The second door of a French pair usually has finger shoot bolts that lock it at top and bottom.

Corner sets

Corner sets carry the lock round the corner of the door to bolt into the top or bottom of the frame. Measure the length, such as 160mm or 200mm.

Lock make

Look for a name on the faceplate, such as Fuhr, GU, Avocet or Yale.

Faceplate

Measure the width and length of the faceplate and the position of the screw holes.

Shoot Bolt Guide

Finger Shoot Bolts

On French doors, the slave leaf is usually locked by finger operated shoot bolts at the top and bottom. Replacing a worn shoot bolt can stop the slave door rattling.

Extensions and Corner Sets

These connect to the main multipoint lock and add locking points at the top and bottom of the door.
