Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Tubular Lock (2-1/2" x 3-1/2")

Privacy for a bathroom or bedroom. That is the version with the thumbturn that locks from the inside, and it ships with a privacy strike plate and a dust box. Passage has no locking at all, which is what belongs on a closet, pantry or laundry pocket door. Dummy has no latch and no strike; it is an edge pull for the second leaf of a double pocket door. Same finish range on all three, so a bathroom and a closet door down the hall still match. In oil rubbed bronze the three part numbers are 2015US10B privacy, 2014US10B passage and 2016US10B dummy.

It is sold as a complete set with screws and strike plate included. Which strike you get depends on function: the passage version comes with a passage strike plate, the privacy version with a privacy strike plate plus a dust box for the bolt, and the dummy comes with an edge pull rather than a strike, since it does not latch into anything. Nothing else has to be added to install the lock in a door that is already prepped.

Only if that prep is a 2-3/8 inch backset with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore, because the Emtek is 2-3/8 backset only and cannot be shifted. If the door was cut at 2-3/4, the other common backset, you need an adjustable unit instead: the Weslock 0577 privacy and Weslock 0627 round passage pocket door locks both have adjustable backsets, and the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable privacy lock at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches. Also check what the old trim covered, since the Emtek plate is 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches and will not hide a larger cutout.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock is built for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick and works at a 2-3/8 inch backset only. For a slab up to 2 inches, the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock lists a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range with an adjustable backset and full lip strike, and the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage pocket door lock covers that same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range in a non-locking function. Both hold the rectangular face if the rest of the doors in the unit are trimmed that way.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock is ordered in passage, privacy, or dummy function. When the opening has to be keyed, the Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction, so the rectangular brass character carries over from the Emtek, which is itself a brass tubular lock.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock starts at a 1-3/8 inch minimum door thickness. For a thinner door, the Pamex PF2 round sliding door lock lists a 1-5/16 to 1-9/16 inch door thickness range and uses the same 2-3/8 inch backset the Emtek does, so the bore location does not change. The Pamex PF1 square style sliding door lock covers that same 1-5/16 to 1-9/16 inch range with a square face.

Ten finishes: 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) and Polished Chrome (US26). Every one of the ten is built in passage, privacy and dummy, so mixed functions across a floor of pocket doors still come out in one finish. A split finish, one finish on each face, can be specified as an order note if the two sides of the door face different rooms.

Emtek classes it as residential. It is a tubular lock with brass trim, which suits houses, condos and apartment interiors rather than a high-traffic commercial opening. Where the duty is heavier, Deltana's SDLA325 is a heavy-duty privacy pocket door lock at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches with an adjustable backset, and the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch is the other privacy option to look at.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock in dummy function is supplied with an edge pull and is intended for double door application. The Omnia counterpart is the 7012/PD, a modern rectangular pocket door lock set with mortise edge pull in pair dummy function. If one leaf of the pair needs to operate rather than sit fixed, the Omnia 7012/N is the modern rectangular pocket door passage lock, also with a mortise edge pull.

The Emtek pocket door tubular lock has a rectangular 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch face. In round, there is 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. In square, there is the Orca Hardware PDLSQ privacy function square pocket door lock and the Pamex PF1 square style sliding door lock.

No, they solve different parts of the opening. The Orca Hardware PK1200 is a pocket door frame kit listed 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. The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock is the tubular latch and 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch trim that goes into the door leaf itself, so it does not stand in for either the frame kit or the track.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock has a 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inch face, so anything wider than that in the door will show. The Deltana SDL60 is a decorative pocket door lock with a 6 inch privacy face, and the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable privacy pocket door lock at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches. Measure the existing cutout in both directions before choosing, since trim plates cover an opening rather than reduce it.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock measures 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches. For a shorter face on the same 2-1/2 inch width, the Deltana SDL25 pocket door lock is 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches in privacy and the Deltana SDP25 is 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches in passage, so a bath door and a closet door in the same run can be trimmed identically.

The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with privacy function and emergency release. It sits alongside the Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock in privacy function, which is supplied with a privacy strike plate and dust box, and both keep a rectangular face on the door.

Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is a living finish. It is bare brass with no coating, so it darkens and patinas with handling, which is the point for some jobs and a callback for others. The two coated brass options that hold their appearance are Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3) and Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14). Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) also wears through at the touch points over time on most brass hardware. If a property has to look identical across every pocket door for years, the Lifetime finishes, Satin Nickel (US15) or Flat Black (US19) are the steadier picks.

The Emtek rectangular pocket door tubular lock is sold in passage, privacy, and dummy. In passage, the Deltana SDP25 at 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage, and the Omnia 7012/N with mortise edge pull line up. In privacy, the Deltana SDL25 at 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy, the Omnia 7012/L, the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch, and the Orca Hardware PDLRD round and PDLSQ square locks all carry the privacy function. In dummy, the Omnia 7012/PD is the pair dummy set.
