A modular multi-point lock system that is both simple to install and easy to service. By inserting the lock case into a recess for containing the lock case that is located in the edge of the door, the shootbolt drive mechanism located within the lock case will engage first and second shootbolts respectively installed into recesses in the top and bottom of the door that communicate with the recess for containing the lock case, without requiring a manual interconnection to be made between the lock case and shootbolts. Similarly, the lock case can be removed from the door without removing the first and second shootbolts.
