How A French Door Lock Works

A French door is a pair of doors that meet in the middle. The active leaf is the one you use every day — it has the handle, the deadbolt, and (on most modern French doors) a multi-point hardware set that throws bolts at the top and bottom of the door when you lift the handle.

The inactive leaf stays bolted shut. It locks into the floor and the header with surface bolts (also called flush bolts), and the active leaf latches into it. When something stops working, it's almost always one of these three things: alignment, gearbox, or surface bolts.

If your French door has any of these:

  • check_circleA lever or lift handle that engages bolts when you raise it
  • check_circleVisible bolts at the top and bottom of the door edge
  • check_circleA separate deadbolt and lever on the active leaf
  • check_circleSmall flush bolts top and bottom on the inactive leaf edge
  • check_circleAn astragal (the vertical seal between the two leaves)

…we service it. Hoppe, Andersen, Amesbury Truth, Pella, Marvin, and most premium hardware brands.
