Emtek 2108 Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock (2-1/2" x 4-1/2") - Privacy

If the door was bored for standard hardware, yes. The 2108 works off the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the prep most interior doors already carry, so in a lot of retrofits there is no new boring at all. The rectangular face measures 2-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches. What actually decides the job is the edge of the door: the latch mortise and the strike cutout in the jamb have to line up with the new hardware, and that is the part worth checking before the old lock comes out.

Two parts sit closest to the Emtek 2108, which is a rectangular privacy pocket door lock with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" plate in brass. The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with a privacy function and an emergency release. The Weslock 0577 is a rectangular privacy pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and a full lip strike, listed for doors 1-3/8" to 2" thick. The Emtek 2108 fits doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick and ships as a complete set with screws and strikeplate.

The Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock is listed for doors 1-3/8" to 2" thick and comes with an adjustable backset and a full lip strike, so it reaches a full 2" slab. The Emtek 2108 is built for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick. If the same 2" opening only needs to latch without locking, the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage pocket door lock carries the same 1-3/8" to 2" thickness range.

Depends what came out. The Emtek 2108 presents a rectangular 2-1/2 by 4-1/2 inch face, so it will cover a smaller footprint like the Deltana SDL25 at 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, or the Deltana SDLA325 at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches, without patching. It will not cover something longer: the Deltana SDL60 is a 6 inch plate, and swapping that out for the 2108 leaves bare mortise showing at the ends. Hold a tape on the existing plate before ordering, because filling a pocket door mortise means pulling the slab off the track.

Both corner styles are covered on the Emtek 2108, whose latch faceplate is round corner or square corner. Match it to what is already cut in the door edge: a square corner mortise was chiseled square by hand, a round corner mortise came off a router or a boring jig. Getting this right is the difference between a faceplate that sits flush and one that needs the edge re-chiseled with the door hanging in the pocket.

It ships as a complete set, strike plate and screws included, and the screws are finish matched to the lock so the fasteners on the face are not a different color than the plate. Emtek does not break the screws or strikes out as separate parts, which matters if you are keeping spares for a building: a lost strike or a stripped screw means buying another set, not a replacement piece. Order accordingly if you are doing several openings at once.

Privacy is what the Emtek 2108 is, and it is the right call on a bathroom, a bedroom, or a laundry that doubles as a changing space. It locks. On a pantry, a closet, or a hallway opening that never needs to lock, you want passage instead: the Deltana SDP25 at 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage lock, or the Omnia 7012/N passage version with a mortise edge pull. And if the door only needs a finger pull to move it and nothing else, the Omnia 7012/PD is the pair dummy set. Buying privacy for a closet is money spent on a mechanism nobody will ever throw.

Yes. The Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction, so it carries a key cylinder for an office, storage, or utility pocket door. The Emtek 2108 is a non-keyed privacy lock in brass, intended for bed and bath openings. Anywhere the pocket door has to be secured to a key rather than thumb-turned from inside, the 7035/A is the function to specify.

The Emtek 2108 is a privacy/bed/bath pocket door lock, which is more than a closet or hall pocket door usually calls for. Passage alternatives include the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage pocket door lock with no locking, listed for doors 1-3/8" to 2" thick; the Omnia 7012/N modern rectangular pocket door passage lock with a mortise edge pull, which keeps the same rectangular trim shape as the 2108; the Deltana SDP25 pocket door lock in passage at 2-1/2" x 2-3/4"; and the Weslock 0627 round passage pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and full lip strike if round trim suits the door.

The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with a privacy function and an emergency release, so it answers a spec that calls for outside access to a locked bath or bedroom pocket door. It sits in the same rectangular privacy family as the Emtek 2108, which is a privacy/bed/bath pocket door lock with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangular plate. Where a facility standard or building spec names an emergency release by function, order to the 7012/L.

The Emtek 2108 plate measures 2-1/2" x 4-1/2". The Deltana SDL25 pocket door lock in privacy is 2-1/2" x 2-3/4", the same width in a shorter plate, and the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable pocket door lock in privacy is 3-1/4" x 2-1/4". Both are privacy/bed/bath function like the 2108. Check the existing cutout in the slab against the plate dimension before choosing, since a shorter plate will not cover a longer mortise left by the outgoing lock.

The Deltana SDL60 is a decorative pocket door lock in privacy with a 6" plate, longer than the 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" plate on the Emtek 2108, and it is the option when the mortise in the slab is taller than a 4-1/2" plate will cover or when the design calls for a longer trim. Both are privacy/bed/bath function, so the way the door locks from inside is the same.

Two items in the pocket door category are not locks at all. The Orca Hardware PK1200 is a pocket door frame kit, the split-stud frame the door runs inside, listed for 1" or 1-3/4" door thickness. The NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72" pocket door aluminum track rated up to 250 pounds, the overhead track the door hangs from. The Emtek 2108 is the privacy lock and pull hardware that mortises into the leading edge of the slab, so a frame kit or a track is bought alongside it on a new pocket door opening, never in place of it.

Twelve, and the screws come finish matched so the fasteners on the face are not a mismatch. The full run is Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Unlacquered brass is the one to be deliberate about: it has no clear coat, so it will patina with handling. Spec one code across every pocket door in a unit and they read as one set.

Emtek specs the 2108 as residential hardware, brass through the plate and substrate. That suits a house, a condo, or an apartment bathroom fine. For a heavier traffic opening where you expect the lock to get worked hard, the Deltana SDLA325 is sold as a heavy-duty pocket door lock with an adjustable backset in the same privacy function.

Within the privacy/bed/bath function, the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch, the Orca Hardware PDLRD round pocket door lock, the Orca Hardware PDLSQ square pocket door lock, the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable lock at 3-1/4" x 2-1/4", and the Weslock 0577 rectangular lock with adjustable backset and full lip strike all lock the same way from inside. The Emtek 2108 is classed as residential hardware in brass with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangular plate, which is the deciding factor when a facility standard sets one trim shape and one function across every pocket door.

The Omnia 7012/PD is a modern rectangular pocket door lock set with a mortise edge pull in pair dummy function, meaning trim on both faces with no latching or locking mechanism behind it. The Emtek 2108 is a privacy/bed/bath pocket door lock that actually secures the door from inside. The 7012/PD carries the same modern rectangular look, so it is the match on a second pocket door in the same room that only needs a pull, not on a bath or bedroom door.
