Emtek Round Pocket Door Tubular Lock (2-1/2" Diameter)

Privacy is the bath and bedroom function: it locks from the inside and ships with the privacy strike plate and a dust box. Passage does not lock at all and is what goes on a closet, pantry or laundry pocket door; it comes with the passage strike plate. Dummy is trim with an edge pull and no latch, used on the second leaf of a pair of doors. Part numbers run by function and finish: privacy starts 2145 (2145US15 is satin nickel), passage 2144, dummy 2146.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock is 2-3/8 inch backset only, so an existing bore at another dimension will not line up. Three pocket door locks are built with an adjustable backset: the Weslock 0627 round passage with adjustable backset and full lip strike, the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy with adjustable backset and full lip strike, and the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty pocket door lock, adjustable, 3-1/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches in privacy. The Weslock 0627 is the round-faced one of the three.

The Orca Hardware PDLRD is a round pocket door lock built in privacy function, so it keeps the round face rather than switching the opening to a rectangular plate. The Emtek 2145 privacy is a tubular pocket door lock with round trim measuring 2-1/2 inches in diameter in brass, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Confirm the door thickness and bore the PDLRD needs before swapping, since the two are matched on face shape and function rather than on prep.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock is made in three functions: passage under 2144, privacy under 2145, and dummy under 2146. For an opening that has to be keyed, the Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction. Expect a rectangular face on the Omnia rather than the 2-1/2 inch round face of the Emtek, so a keyed door in a run of Emtek round doors will not read the same across the group.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock covers doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick, so a full 2 inch slab is past its range. Two Weslock pocket door locks carry a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range: the 0527 rectangular passage with no locking, and the 0577 rectangular privacy with adjustable backset and full lip strike. Both use a rectangular face rather than round trim, so a thick door handled that way will not match round trim elsewhere in the same run.

The Pamex PF2 is a round sliding door lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset, the same backset the Emtek 2144 passage uses. The difference is door thickness: the PF2 covers 1-5/16 inches to 1-9/16 inches while the Emtek round takes 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, so measure the slab first. The Weslock 0627 is the other round-faced passage option, and it carries an adjustable backset instead of a fixed one.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock starts at a 1-3/8 inch minimum door thickness, so a 1-5/16 inch slab sits under it. Both Pamex sliding door locks list a 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch door thickness range: the PF2 in a round style with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the PF1 in a square style. The PF2 is the one that keeps a round face on the door.

No. What ships is the lock set itself, sold complete with the mounting screws and the strike plate, plus the dust box on the privacy version. The pocket frame that the door slides into and the overhead track are separate purchases. For those, the Orca Hardware PK1200 pocket door frame kit covers 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.

Ten finishes, and every one of them is offered in all three functions: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel Lifetime US14, Satin Nickel US15, Pewter US15A, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Satin Brass US4 and French Antique US7. Match on the US code and it lines up with the same code on your other Emtek trim. Worth knowing on US3NL: unlacquered brass is a living finish, it darkens and patinas with handling rather than staying bright. A split finish, one finish on each face, can be specified when you order.

Emtek specifies the round pocket door lock as residential, and it is built in brass. For rental units, single family and multi-family interior pocket doors, closets and baths, that is the intended use. Where the opening takes commercial traffic and you want something built heavier, the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty privacy pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and a 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inch face, and the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch is another privacy option.

The Emtek set is a 2-1/2 inch round face in an American Classic style. Squared off alternatives: the Orca Hardware PDLSQ is a square privacy pocket door lock, the Pamex PF1 is a square style sliding door lock, and the Omnia 7012 series is modern rectangular trim across a full function range, 7012/N passage with mortise edge pull, 7012/L privacy with emergency release, and 7012/PD pair dummy. One caution on the Pamex, both the PF1 and the round PF2 are listed for doors 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch, so neither covers a 1-3/4 inch door the way the Emtek does.

The Emtek dummy, product code 2136 and ordered as 2146, is supplied with an edge pull and is intended for a double door application, with the privacy strike plate and dust box coming with the privacy lock. The Omnia 7012/PD is the other route: a modern rectangular pocket door lock set with mortise edge pull in pair dummy function. Both put a non-latching face on the doors with a pull on the lead edge; the Emtek keeps the 2-1/2 inch round trim and the Omnia runs rectangular.

No. The Orca PK1200 is a pocket door frame set, built for door thicknesses of 1 inch or 1-3/4 inches, and the NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated up to 250 pounds. Those are the pocket and the hanging system inside the wall. The Emtek 2144 passage, 2145 privacy, and 2146 dummy are the latch and trim that mount in the face of the door, sold as a complete set with screws and strike plate. A pocket door opening usually needs both, and one does not stand in for the other.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock has a 2-1/2 inch diameter face, which will not reach across a larger opening left by a previous lock. Two Deltana pocket door locks carry a bigger footprint in privacy function: the SDL60 decorative pocket door lock at 6 inches, and the SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable at 3-1/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches. Measure the existing cutout in both directions before choosing, since the SDL60 is the taller face and the SDLA325 is the wider rectangle.

The Omnia 7012/L is the pocket door lock in privacy function that names an emergency release, on modern rectangular trim. That matters on a bathroom or bedroom pocket door in a rental or a guest suite where staff need a way in. If the emergency release is the deciding requirement, specify the 7012/L; if the round 2-1/2 inch face is the deciding requirement, the Emtek 2145 privacy is the round-trim privacy option.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock ships as a complete set with screws and a strike plate: the 2134 passage comes with a passage strike plate, and the 2135 privacy comes with a privacy strike plate and dust box. The Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy and the Weslock 0627 round passage are both built with a full lip strike. That lip is the practical difference on the jamb side, so check the jamb prep and the reveal at the pocket before treating one as a drop-in for the other.

Emtek's round pocket door trim is 2-1/2 inches in diameter, which is a compact face. If you want more plate on the door, the Deltana SDL60 is a 6 inch decorative privacy pocket door lock, and Deltana's SDL25 privacy and SDP25 passage locks run 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches. Another round option at a similar scale is the Orca Hardware PDLRD privacy pocket door lock.

The Emtek round tubular pocket door lock is a residential brass pocket door lock. Where a privacy pocket door falls under a commercial spec, the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch and the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable pocket door lock are the privacy latches to look at instead. Both put a privacy function on the door in a different build than the residential brass round set, so run the specified function and door thickness against whichever you choose.
