Yes, edge prep is required. The Traditional Square privacy lock needs a mortise cut into the leading edge of the pocket door for the latch body, plus the face cutout for the 2-1/2 x 2-3/4 inch plate. It is not a surface-applied pull, so budget the router work into the install. On an existing door with no prep, that is the job.

One part number covers both. The Traditional Square privacy lock is reversible for a left or right hand door, so you order by finish only and set the handing at install. For a property manager stocking a few spares across a building, that means one bin instead of two.

The Cal-Royal SDL16 pocket door privacy lock is the nearest match. Both are privacy-function pocket door locks and both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so the same door edge prep range applies to either. The difference is the face treatment: the Delaney is a Traditional Square design in zinc, while the SDL16 carries decorative coined edges. If you are matching a square-cornered plate on the other doors, the Delaney holds that profile; if the coined edge suits the trim, the SDL16 covers the same opening.

Yes. The Trimco 1065 pocket door pull with privacy locking function carries the same 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch face dimension as the Delaney Traditional Square privacy pocket door lock, and both perform a privacy function. That matters when you are dropping a replacement into an existing edge and face cutout and do not want to patch or enlarge it.

Privacy function means it locks from the inside for a bath or bedroom and is not a keyed security lock. The Delaney Traditional Square is a privacy pocket door lock, which is the right function for bath, bedroom, and dressing room pockets. If you need a keyed or passage pocket door set, this is not the part.

A pocket door lock like the Delaney Traditional Square mortises into the door edge and sits flush in the face so the door still passes into the wall pocket, which is why the edge prep is mandatory. If the door is a surface-mounted slider rather than a pocket, the Orca Hardware AH Series privacy latch for sliding doors is the type built for that application.

The Orca Hardware AH Series privacy latch for sliding doors is the lighter-duty route. It is a privacy latch for sliding doors rather than a full pocket door lock body, so it is a smaller intervention on the slab. The Delaney Traditional Square privacy pocket door lock requires door edge prep and takes a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch face. Both give you a privacy function on a sliding opening; choose on how much prep the door can take.

Face shape and door thickness range separate them. The Delaney Traditional Square is a square-profile privacy pocket door lock in zinc with a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch face, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick and reversible for left or right hand. The Weslock 0677 is a round privacy pocket door unit fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick doors. Pick by the slab thickness on the opening and by whether the surrounding trim reads square or round.

Not as a like-for-like swap. The Orca Hardware AH Series is a privacy latch for sliding doors, while the Delaney Traditional Square is a privacy pocket door lock with a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch face that requires door edge prep and is reversible for a left or right hand door. They share the privacy function, but the Orca latch is not built to fill the same face and edge cutout. For a true drop-in against that cutout, the Trimco 1065 matches the 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch dimension.

The Delaney Traditional Square privacy pocket door lock is reversible for a left or right hand door, so one part number covers both swings across a building and you are not sorting handing at the door. Among the privacy pocket door alternatives, the Cal-Royal SDL16 and the Weslock 0677 are both privacy-function pocket door locks covering the same style of opening; if standardizing one SKU across mixed handing is the goal, the Delaney is the one that states reversibility.

Zinc is the substrate on the Delaney Traditional Square, which is the usual cast material for pocket door flush hardware. It is a residential-grade privacy latch, not a cycle-rated commercial lockset, so it suits apartment baths and bedrooms rather than a high-traffic public restroom.

The Delaney Traditional Square privacy pocket door lock is offered in 622 Matte Black, along with 605 Bright Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 625 Bright Chrome, US15A Antique Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed and US12P Tuscany Bronze, so a single square-face privacy lock can follow the finish schedule across a whole unit. The comparable privacy pocket door locks, such as the Cal-Royal SDL16 and the Weslock 0677, are specified by function and door thickness rather than by that finish range.
