Orca Hardware PDLRD Privacy Function Round Pocket Door Lock

It locks. The PDLRD-PR is a privacy function pocket door lock, the bed and bath setup where you turn the thumbturn from inside the room to hold the door shut. That is different from a passage pull like the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Pull - Passage or the Weslock 0627, which move the door but never latch it locked. If you want a keyed pocket door, privacy is the wrong function and you would be looking at something like the Omnia 7035/A keyed entry pocket door lock instead.

The Orca PDLRD is a round-trim pocket door lock with a privacy/bed/bath function. If the opening needs an adjustable backset in the same round shape, the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Privacy Pull is a round pocket door privacy pull with adjustable backset, and the Pamex PF2 is a round sliding door lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset. Both keep the round escutcheon look while changing how the latch centers in the door edge.

The Orca PDLRD is privacy/bed/bath only. For a keyed pocket door, the Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction, and the Emtek 2153 narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock at 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch is a keyed mortise option for a taller, narrow stile trim.

Four: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, black, and polished chrome. That covers the usual apartment and hospitality palettes, so a property manager standardizing bath and bedroom pocket doors across a building can generally match the existing lever and hinge finish without mixing brands. Finish is the only thing you choose on the PDLRD-PR, so ordering is a single decision.

The PDLRD-PR only covers the privacy opening, so for the closet or hall door you need a separate passage unit. In a round trim, the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Pull - Passage and the Weslock 0627 round passage pocket door lock both keep the same circular look. If you would rather standardize the whole run on one brand, Deltana pairs its SDL25 privacy with the matching SDP25 passage in the same 2-1/2 by 2-3/4 inch trim.

The Orca PDLRD-PR is a privacy round lock and the data we hold on it does not describe an outside release. If an emergency unlock is a requirement, the Omnia 7012/L modern rectangular pocket door lock is spec'd with privacy function and emergency release. That is the one to put on a bathroom in a rental or hospitality setting where staff need access from the corridor side.

Mostly appearance, but it changes the mortise cutout in the door edge and face, so swapping shapes later means patching. The PDLRD-PR uses round trim. Rectangular alternatives run from compact, like the Emtek 2102 privacy pocket door lock at 2-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches, up to long plate styles such as the Deltana SDL60 decorative 6 inch privacy lock and the Emtek 2153 narrow modern rectangular mortise lock at 2 by 7-1/4 inches. Pick the shape first, then match every pocket door in the run to it.

All four carry a privacy/bed/bath function. The Orca PDLRD uses round trim. The Deltana SDL25 is a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch privacy pocket door lock, the SDL60 is a 6 inch decorative privacy lock for a taller trim look, and the SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable privacy lock at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch. Pick on plate size and trim style, since the locking function is the same across them.

Both are privacy/bed/bath pocket door locks. The Emtek 2102 uses a 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch rectangular plate; the Orca PDLRD uses round trim and is offered in oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, black and polished chrome. Emtek's matching passage version is the 2101 at the same 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch plate if some doors on the job do not need locking.

For a non-latching decorative pocket door, use a dummy set rather than the privacy Orca PDLRD. The Omnia 7012/PD is a modern rectangular pocket door lock set with mortise edge pull in a pair dummy function, and the Omnia 7012/N is the passage version with mortise edge pull if you still want the door to latch closed without locking.

The Orca PDLRD covers the privacy/bed/bath doors. Several peer lines are sold as matched pairs if you want identical trim on every door: Deltana SDL25 privacy and SDP25 passage both at 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch, Emtek 2102 privacy and 2101 passage both at 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch, and Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy and 0527 rectangular passage, the 0527 being a no-locking version rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

It is catalogued as commercial, and the product write-up calls the application residential. Because those two point different directions, treat the PDLRD-PR as the round privacy pocket door lock it is and spec it against your own opening requirements. If a project specification demands documented commercial-duty pocket door hardware, a heavy-duty option such as the Deltana SDLA325 heavy-duty adjustable privacy pocket door lock is worth pricing alongside it.

For a traditional opening, the Emtek #8 Classic Arched pocket door mortise lock is a brass unit with a 2-7/8 inch by 7-5/8 inch arched plate, a much taller trim than the round Orca PDLRD. It is a mortise lock, so the door edge prep differs from the compact round PDLRD cutout.
