Passive locks and concealed rods are specialized hardware components designed for use in multipoint locking systems, most commonly installed in hinged or patio doors. These components allow the door to be securely latched at multiple points along its edge, with the rods and locking mechanism hidden inside the door frame for a clean, tamper-resistant finish. Passive rods engage automatically when the active door panel is locked, providing top and bottom security for the inactive panel,ensuring both convenience and protection without visible hardware cluttering the door's appearance.

How Passive Rods & Locks Work

In a standard multipoint system, the passive lock does not have a thumb turn or direct handle on the inactive panel. Instead, concealed rods,sometimes called shootbolts,extend into the door frame at the head and sill when the main lock is operated from the active door. This passive mechanism is especially popular in double-door setups or French doors, where one panel is fixed until released by the main lock. The passive rod system ensures that the secondary panel remains tightly closed and secure, even when the active panel is in use.

Compatibility and Applications

This collection features genuine AmesburyTruth passive locks and concealed rods, engineered for use in a wide range of premium residential and commercial doors. Compatible with well-known door brands and models that specify 60/92 and 70/92 hardware configurations, these components are trusted by manufacturers and installers for their durability and precision fit. The concealed design is ideal for modern doors where both aesthetic and security are top priorities. If you need a replacement for an existing system, make sure to match the passive rod size, standoff thread (such as this short standoff style), and faceplate shape.

Replacement & Installation Tips

Always verify handing (right or left) for a proper fit,see the right hand passive lock or left hand version.
