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

Yes on both counts. The Square pocket door tubular lock covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch and drops into the standard 2-1/8 inch door prep, so a bored door needs no special routing. The one hard constraint is backset: 2-3/8 inches only, with no adjustment. Before ordering, measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore and confirm it lands at 2-3/8 inches.

Not the Emtek Square. It tops out at 1-3/4 inch doors and is fixed at a 2-3/8 inch backset. For a 2 inch door, Weslock's 0577 privacy and 0527 passage pocket door locks carry a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the 0577 is described with an adjustable backset and full lip strike, which is what solves a prep that does not line up. The Weslock 0627 round passage lock is also an adjustable backset option. Going the other direction, on a thin door of 1-5/16 to 1-9/16 inches, look at the Pamex PF1 square style or PF2 round sliding door locks.

Function, and what ships in the box. 2134 is passage: it latches, nothing locks, and it comes with a passage strike plate. 2135 is privacy: it locks from the inside for a bath or bedroom, and it comes with a privacy strike plate and a dust box. 2136 is the dummy set: no latch at all, supplied with an edge pull, and intended for double door application. Trim is the same 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch square brass face on all three, and all three come in the same ten finishes.

Depends what is coming off the door. The Emtek Square face measures 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches, so it covers an opening up to that and nothing larger. A Deltana SDL25 or SDP25 being removed is 2-1/2 by 2-3/4, so you would be short in one direction. Where the old mortise is bigger, the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty lock at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches or the 6 inch Deltana SDL60 decorative pocket door lock cover more area. Then check the bore: the Emtek is fixed at a 2-3/8 inch backset in standard 2-1/8 inch prep, so an old prep on a different backset needs an adjustable-backset lock instead.

Two sets, and they are not the same set. The dummy, model 2136, is the one built for double door application: it has no latch and comes with an edge pull, so it handles the second leaf. Run it with the 2135 privacy lock on the leading leaf if the room has to lock, since the privacy strike plate and dust box ship with the privacy lock. If the pair does not need to lock, the 2134 passage set comes with its own strike plate. On a single pocket door you only need the one set.

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock is built in three functions: passage as code 2134, privacy as code 2135 and dummy as code 2136. 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 body carries a cylinder rather than a thumbturn.

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock is a 2-3/8 inch backset only, so the edge bore has to land at that dimension. Where the door is already bored elsewhere, the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock and the Weslock 0627 round passage pocket door lock both list an adjustable backset with a full lip strike, and the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable pocket door lock with a 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inch privacy plate. The Pamex PF2 round sliding door lock is fixed at the same 2-3/8 inch backset as the Emtek.

Emtek specifies the Square pocket door tubular lock as residential. Construction is brass, with a 2-1/2 inch square trim and a mechanical, non-electronic latch. For a heavier duty opening, Deltana's SDLA325 is a heavy-duty pocket door lock with an adjustable backset at 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches in privacy function, and the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch is another privacy option to look at for institutional work.

Trim shape is the decision, and it follows the rest of the room's hardware. The Emtek Square is a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch square face in contemporary styling, which lines up with square rosettes and rectangular levers. If the door hardware around it is round, Orca Hardware's PDLRD is a round privacy pocket door lock and Pamex's PF2 is a round sliding door lock on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Orca's PDLSQ is the square privacy version from that same line, and Omnia's 7012 family (7012/N passage, 7012/L privacy with emergency release, 7012/PD pair dummy) is rectangular rather than square.

No. The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock is a tubular lock sold as a complete set with screws and a strike plate, mounted in a standard 2-1/8 inch door prep on the face of the slab. The NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated up to 250 pounds, and the Orca Hardware PK1200 is a pocket door frame kit listing a 1 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Those two carry and house the door inside the wall and do not latch it, so a pocket door opening usually needs one of them plus a lock, not one instead of the other.

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock has a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch trim, so anything cut wider or taller than that will show. Deltana runs larger plates across its pocket door line: the SDL60 decorative pocket door lock is a 6 inch privacy unit, the SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable pocket door lock is 3-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches in privacy, and the SDL25 privacy and SDP25 passage locks are both 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches. Measure the existing cut-out in both directions before choosing between them.

The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with privacy function and an emergency release, which is the one to quote when a bath or bedroom spec calls for outside access to the locked door. The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock in privacy, code 2135, is supplied with a privacy strike plate and a dust box, and is a brass residential unit with a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch square trim.

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock in passage, product code 2134, is supplied with a passage strike plate and no locking mechanism. Cross-brand passage equivalents are the Deltana SDP25 pocket door lock, a 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inch passage/hall/closet unit, the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage pocket door lock with no locking and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Omnia 7012/N modern rectangular pocket door passage lock, which comes with a mortise edge pull.

Ten finishes, and every one of them is available 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). A split finish can be requested at order time if the pocket door needs one finish facing the hall and another facing the room.

No. Unlacquered Brass, US3NL, is a living finish: the brass is left bare, so it darkens and patinas with handling and each set ages a little differently. That is the point of it for some jobs and a callback waiting to happen on others. If the client expects the hardware to look the same in two years, order one of the other nine finishes instead, such as Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), Satin Brass (US4) or Satin Nickel (US15).

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock in privacy, code 2135, is sold as a complete set with screws, a privacy strike plate and a dust box, in a 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch brass trim. The Rockwood 891 is a pocket door privacy latch in privacy/bed/bath function, which is the latching component on its own rather than a trimmed set. Pick by how much of the assembly the opening still needs.

The Emtek Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock is a square 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inch trim. For a rectangular cut-out, the Omnia 7012 series runs modern rectangular trim across all three functions: the 7012/N passage lock with mortise edge pull, the 7012/L privacy lock with emergency release and the 7012/PD pair dummy set. Weslock also runs rectangular, with the 0527 passage and the 0577 privacy, both listing a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range.
