Shoot Bolts & Extensions

Shoot bolts are additional locking bolts that extend vertically into the door frame when the multipoint lock engages. In simplest terms, a shoot bolt door locking system creates extra security points beyond the standard hook and roller engagement, especially crucial for some doors (like tall doors and French doors). Shootbolts are also necessary for installations requiring enhanced perimeter security, which makes sense because 77% of break-in methods involve doors (27% force locks). If these systems are installed properly, you’ll have a door that defends effectively against frame bowing and spreading.

At Locks & Handles we can supply you with top-quality shootbolts and extensions, so you’ll be more confident in your installations. In addition, we have top-quality items from Fuhr, reliable versions from Avocet and Winkhaus, and even VERSA and TSS collections chosen by professionals. Nevertheless, you will never fret about adding vertical engagement points to tall doors ever again with our extensive array of products.

You can also see these systems on doors exceeding 2.1 metres in height. Many are spring-loaded or gear-driven to automatically extend when a user lifts the door handle. And if you’re lost as to which shootbolt or extension to get for your door, let Locks & Handles’ expert team guide you.
