Don-Jo PDL-101-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door lock work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The PDL-101 ships with pins and screws sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, which is the standard commercial door thickness, and the lock itself is adjustable to accommodate a range of door thicknesses. If your pocket doors are thinner residential slabs, the adjustment covers you; if they are 1-3/4 inch commercial doors, the included hardware is already the right length.
2) Does the Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door lock need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The PDL-101 is field reversible, so the same lock adapts on site to a left- or right-hand pocket door without extra parts. For a property manager buying a shelf pack of 10 for a floor of units, that means one part number covers every opening regardless of which way the doors slide.
3) Is the Don-Jo PDL-101 a privacy lock or just a passage pull?
Privacy. The PDL-101 is a privacy/bed/bath function pocket door lock, meaning it locks from inside the room for bathrooms, bedrooms, exam rooms, and fitting rooms. It is not a keyed entry lock and it is not a passage set. If you want the same size hardware with no locking at all, the Deltana SDP25 is the passage version at the same 2-1/2 x 2-3/4 inch footprint; for a keyed pocket door opening, the Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock.
4) What size cutout does the Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door lock need in the door edge and face?
The PDL-101 plate measures 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, so that is the footprint you are working to on the door face. It is a compact rectangular unit that drops into a standard pocket door lock prep rather than a tall mortise case. Larger-plate alternatives exist if you are covering an old cutout: the Deltana SDL60 is a 6 inch decorative pocket door lock, and the Emtek #8 Classic Arched mortise lock runs 2-7/8 by 7-5/8 inches.
5) I need to replace an existing 2-1/2 x 2-3/4 pocket door privacy lock. What matches it?
The Don-Jo PDL-101 is a direct size match at 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches with privacy function, so it drops into the same footprint. The Deltana SDL25 is the other privacy lock we carry at exactly that 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 size. Watch out for near-misses: the Emtek 2102 privacy pocket door lock is 2-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches and the Deltana SDLA325 is 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches, so neither covers the same hole.
6) My pocket door is thinner than a commercial slab. Should I still use the Don-Jo PDL-101?
The PDL-101 adjusts for various door thicknesses and includes the pins and screws for 1-3/4 inch stock, so it is at its best on full-thickness doors. On light residential doors around 1-3/8 to 1-9/16 inches, the Pamex PF1 square and PF2 round sliding door locks are specified for 1-5/16 to 1-9/16 inch doors, and the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. All three are privacy or locking sliding door hardware in that thinner range.
7) Is there a pocket door privacy lock with an emergency release for a bathroom instead of the Don-Jo PDL-101?
The Omnia 7012/L modern rectangular pocket door lock is a privacy function unit with an emergency release, which is what a bathroom or patient room needs when staff have to get in from the corridor side. The Don-Jo PDL-101 is a privacy/bed/bath lock in brass, field reversible for left- or right-hand openings. If the requirement on the drawing calls out outside release, the 7012/L answers it directly.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door privacy lock in the same 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch size?
The Deltana SDL25 is the direct size-for-size counterpart. It is a pocket door lock measuring 2-1/2 inches by 2-3/4 inches with a privacy function, the same face dimensions and the same privacy/bed/bath function as the Don-Jo PDL-101. If an existing PDL-101 is being replaced and the mortise pocket in the door edge and the face cutout are already sized, the SDL25 works to the same footprint.
9) I need a pocket door lock for a bedroom but no locking - what takes the place of a Don-Jo PDL-101?
Use a passage version instead. The Deltana SDP25 is a pocket door lock in the same 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch size with a passage/hall/closet function, so it operates the door without a privacy latch while keeping the same face dimensions as the Don-Jo PDL-101. The Weslock 0527 rectangular pocket door lock is also a passage, no-locking unit and covers doors from 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, and the Emtek 2101 is a passage pocket door lock at 2-3/8 inches by 3-1/8 inches.
10) What do I use on a pocket door that needs to be locked with a key rather than a privacy turn?
A privacy lock like the Don-Jo PDL-101 has no cylinder, so it will not secure a room against entry. For a keyed opening, the Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction, and the Emtek 2153 narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock is a keyed unit with a 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch face for a taller mortise prep.
11) What finishes does the Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door lock come in, and can I match chrome trim on one side and brass on the other?
Nine finishes: 605 polished brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 620 antique nickel, 622 matte black, 625 polished chrome, and 626 satin chrome, plus split finishes. The split options are ordered as 605/625 (polished brass one side, polished chrome the other) or 625/605 for the reverse orientation, so you can match a brass corridor and a chrome bathroom on the same door.
12) Is the Don-Jo PDL-101 pocket door lock rated for commercial use?
It is classified as commercial-grade hardware and meets ANSI D0831. The body is solid brass rather than a zinc casting, which is what carries it through hotel guest rooms, patient rooms, and multifamily bathrooms where a residential privacy latch gets replaced every couple of years.
13) Does ordering a Don-Jo PDL-101 cover the pocket door frame and track too?
No. The PDL-101 is the lock itself, supplied with pins and screws for the door. The pocket and the roller system are separate items: the Orca Hardware PK1200 is a pocket door frame kit for 1 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, and the NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated up to 250 pounds. A new opening needs the frame and track in addition to the lock.
14) What is the difference between a Don-Jo PDL-101 and a round-face pocket door privacy lock?
The difference is the shape of the trim and therefore the door face prep. The Orca Hardware PDLRD is a privacy function round pocket door lock and the Orca Hardware PDLSQ is the square-face version of the same privacy function; the Weslock 0627 is a round pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and full lip strike in a passage function. The Don-Jo PDL-101 is a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch privacy unit. Where a fleet of doors is already bored round, the PDLRD keeps the trim consistent without patching.
15) What is a heavier-duty pocket door privacy lock than the Don-Jo PDL-101?
The Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty pocket door lock with a privacy function and an adjustable body, measuring 3-1/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches. That face is wider and shorter than the 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch Don-Jo PDL-101, so on a retrofit the existing cutout has to be checked against the new plate before committing.
16) Will a Don-Jo PDL-101 work if I only need a pull with no latch at all?
No. The PDL-101 is a privacy/bed/bath lock, so it latches and locks. For a non-latching opening such as a closet or a fixed leaf of a pair, the Omnia 7012/PD is a pocket door lock set with a mortise edge pull in a pair dummy function, and the Omnia 7012/N is the passage version of the same modern rectangular trim with a mortise edge pull.
17) Which pocket door privacy locks give a larger decorative face than a Don-Jo PDL-101?
The Deltana SDL60 is a decorative pocket door lock with a privacy function at 6 inches, and the Emtek #8 classic arched pocket door mortise lock is a brass unit with a 2-7/8 inch by 7-5/8 inch face. Both are considerably taller than the 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch Don-Jo PDL-101, which means a longer mortise in the door edge and a bigger trim footprint - worth confirming against the existing prep on a replacement.
18) Is the Rockwood 891 an alternative to a Don-Jo PDL-101?
Yes, for function. The Rockwood 891 is a pocket door privacy latch with a privacy/bed/bath function, the same function class as the Don-Jo PDL-101, which is a commercial brass privacy lock. Both suit an interior opening that needs to be secured from the inside only, such as a restroom or a private office.
19) How is the Don-Jo PDL-101 packaged if I am buying for a whole building?
The PDL-101 is sold in shelf packs of 10, so ordering runs in multiples of ten locks per finish. That suits a floor of guest rooms or a unit turnover run better than buying singles, and it is why contractors and distributors standardizing one finish across a property tend to spec this one.
