Orca Hardware AH-PRIVLATCH-BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What other pocket door privacy locks could I use if the Orca AH latch does not suit my door thickness?
Two peers publish a thickness range. The Cal-Royal SDL16 pocket door privacy lock covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and has decorative coined edges. The Weslock 0677 round privacy pocket door lock covers 1-3/8 up to 2 inch doors, so it is the one to look at for a thicker slab.
2) I need a pocket door lock that takes a key, not just privacy. What should I order instead of the Orca AH latch?
The Orca AH-PRIVLATCH will not do it, it is privacy function only with no keyed cylinder. For a keyed pocket door, look at the Delaney Contemporary Square entrance pocket door lock, which is an entrance-function unit. If you want no lock at all, the Delaney Contemporary Round passage pocket door lock is the passage version.
3) What is a direct alternative to the Orca AH-PRIVLATCH privacy latch for a sliding or pocket door?
The Orca AH-PRIVLATCH is a stainless steel privacy latch for sliding doors. Two close alternatives with the same privacy/bed/bath function are the Weslock 0677 Round Privacy Pocket Door lock, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Trimco 1065 pocket door pull with privacy locking function in a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch face. The Cal-Royal SDL16 is also a privacy pocket door lock, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
4) Can I use the Orca AH privacy latch in a commercial building, or is it residential only?
The AH-PRIVLATCH is carried as a commercial-rated item, and the product literature also lists residential application. In practice that covers multi-family units, hospitality guest bath pockets, and office or clinic sliding doors where a simple privacy lock is all the opening needs.
5) What is the difference between an Orca AH privacy latch and a pocket door privacy pull like the Trimco 1065?
They solve the opening differently. The Orca AH-PRIVLATCH is a privacy latch for sliding doors. The Trimco 1065 is a pocket door pull with a privacy locking function built into the flush pull, measuring 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inches, so it combines the finger pull and the lock in one mortised cup. Pick the Trimco if you want the pull and lock as a single flush unit; pick the Orca latch if your pull is already selected or specified separately.
6) Is there a template for mortising the Orca AH-PRIVLATCH into the door edge?
Yes. Orca publishes both a template spec sheet and an installation instruction sheet for the AH-PRIVLATCH, linked from the product literature. Pull the template before you route the door edge so the latch and strike prep line up.
7) Does the Orca AH-PRIVLATCH match a decorative or traditional trim style, or should I look at another brand?
The Orca AH-PRIVLATCH is offered in Black and Satin Stainless. If the job calls for a specific trim style, the Cal-Royal SDL16 has decorative coined edges, the Delaney 2701 is a traditional square profile, the Delaney 37000 is a contemporary square, and the Delaney 442224 and Weslock 0677 are round.
8) What finishes does the Orca AH-PRIVLATCH sliding door privacy latch come in?
Two finishes: Black and Satin Stainless. If you are matching other hardware on the opening, Satin Stainless suits brushed-nickel and stainless pulls, Black suits matte black barn door hardware.
9) I am standardizing bathroom pocket doors across a building. Does the Orca AH latch come in enough finishes to match everything?
For a fleet rollout you have Black and Satin Stainless on the AH-PRIVLATCH, both in stainless steel. If your buildings run brass, bronze, or a decorative style, the Delaney Traditional Square privacy pocket door lock is the traditional-profile alternative to look at, and the Cal-Royal SDL16 offers a coined-edge face.
