Emtek 2156 Narrow Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Lock (2" x 7-1/4") - Dummy

Dummy function only. The 2156 Narrow Modern Rectangular set has no latch, no privacy turn and no key, so it will not hold a pocket door closed. It's the trim and edge pull for a door that stays put or is held by something else, and it's sold as a complete set for both faces. If you need the door to stay shut, look at a privacy or passage pocket door lock instead, like the Weslock 0577 privacy or the Weslock 0527 passage.

Surface mount, no door prep required. The 2156 trim plates are 1/8 inch thick and sit on the face of the door, which makes it a practical retrofit on a door that's already hung in the pocket. That 1/8 inch of standoff is the number to check against your jamb reveal if the door has to pass a strike side.

The Omnia 7012/PD is the nearest match, a modern rectangular pocket door set with a mortise edge pull in pair dummy function, so it does the same job with the same profile language. If you want that Omnia rectangular trim but need the door to latch, the 7012/N is the passage version and the 7012/L is privacy with an emergency release.

No. The 2156 tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a door that thick, the Weslock 0527 passage and Weslock 0577 privacy pocket door locks are rated to 2 inches.

The 2156 is a dummy, so it has no latching or locking mechanism at all. For a bath or bedroom pocket door, the Omnia 7012/L Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock carries a privacy function with an emergency release and shares the modern rectangular styling. The Weslock 0577 Rectangular Privacy Pocket Door Lock is another rectangular privacy option, with an adjustable backset and full lip strike and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. If the trim shape is open, the Deltana SDL25 at 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch and the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch are both privacy function as well.

The Omnia 7012/PD Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock Set is the closest match. It is a modern rectangular pocket door lock set in dummy function, the same function the Emtek 2156 carries, and the 7012/PD is supplied with a mortise edge pull as part of the set. The Emtek 2156 is a brass mortise pocket door lock with 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch rectangular trim plates, so the trim proportions differ between the two even though the function and rectangular styling line up.

A dummy set like the Emtek 2156 is pull hardware only - it gives the door a finished face and a place to grip, with no latch. A passage set operates a latch that holds the door closed without locking. The Omnia 7012/N Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Passage Lock is the passage counterpart in the same modern rectangular look and comes with a mortise edge pull. The Weslock 0527 Rectangular Passage set is another rectangular passage option and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Deltana SDP25 is a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch passage lock.

The Emtek 2156 is a dummy set and is not keyed. For a pocket door that has to take a key - an office, a storage room, a unit that needs to be secured - the Omnia 7035/A Keyed Entry Pocket Door Lock is the option in the same modern rectangular trim style and solid brass construction.

The Emtek 2156 needs a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thinner leaf, the Pamex PF1 Square Style Sliding Door Lock and the Pamex PF2 Round Sliding Door Lock both cover a 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch door thickness range, with the PF2 on a 2-3/8 inch backset. The PF1 gives you a square trim shape and the PF2 a round one.

Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). All are on a brass body, and the US3NL unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than hold its shine, which is the one to pick deliberately if you want a living finish and the one to avoid if you're matching a fixed set of doors.

The plate measures 2 x 7-1/4 inches, a narrow rectangular profile. On a pocket door that's tall and slim rather than a broad escutcheon, so it suits contemporary flush doors and stays clear of narrow stiles on glass or panel doors.

It's a residential product, brass bodied, and dummy function. For apartments, condos and single family work it's the right class of hardware. For a commercial corridor or an institutional opening where you need a rated or heavier duty part, this isn't it, and neither the grade nor a fire rating is something the 2156 carries.

No. The Emtek 2156 is the lock and trim hardware that mounts on the door face - a brass mortise pocket door lock in dummy function. The Orca Hardware PK1200 Pocket Door Frame Kit is the pocket frame the door runs inside, and the NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated up to 250 pounds. Those carry the door; the 2156 finishes it. A pocket door opening typically needs both, and the PK1200 frame kit is specified for 1 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness.

The Emtek 2156 uses a rectangular trim plate measuring 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch. For round trim, the Orca Hardware PDLRD Privacy Function Round Pocket Door Lock, the Weslock 0627 Round Passage Pocket Door Lock with adjustable backset and full lip strike, and the Pamex PF2 Round Sliding Door Lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset are the round-face alternatives. Note the function changes with them: the PDLRD and the 0577-style privacy sets lock, the Weslock 0627 is passage, while the 2156 is a dummy.

The Weslock 0577 Rectangular Privacy Pocket Door Lock and the Weslock 0627 Round Passage Pocket Door Lock both carry an adjustable backset with a full lip strike, and the Deltana SDLA325 Heavy-Duty Pocket Door Lock is an adjustable unit at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch. The Emtek 2156 takes a different approach - it is surface mount with no door prep required, on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.

It's catalogued and built as a mortise type pocket door lock, but the trim needs no door prep. That combination is the thing to understand before you cut anything: the plates land on the face of the door, 1/8 inch proud, and you are not routing a lock case into the stile the way you would for a mortise entry set.

The Rockwood 891 Pocket Door Privacy Latch is a pared-back privacy latch for a pocket door, without the decorative trim treatment. Compared with it, the Emtek 2156 is a brass mortise pocket door lock with contemporary 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch rectangular trim plates in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Flat Black US19 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. The functions differ as well - the Rockwood 891 is privacy, the 2156 is a dummy with no latch.

The Emtek 2156 trim plate measures 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch and is 1/8 inch thick. Among rectangular alternatives, the Deltana SDL60 Decorative Pocket Door Lock is a 6 inch privacy unit, and the Deltana SDLA325 Heavy-Duty Pocket Door Lock is adjustable at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch, also privacy. Both are privacy function rather than dummy, so the trim change comes with a function change.
