Orca Hardware PDLSQ Privacy Function Square Pocket Door Lock

The Orca PDLSQ is a privacy/bed/bath function pocket door lock with square trim. The closest square-trim equivalent is the Pamex PF1 Square Style Sliding Door Lock, which fits doors 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch thick. If square trim is not a requirement, the Emtek 2102 Privacy Pocket Door Lock (2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch) and the Deltana SDL25 (2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch) are both privacy-function pocket door locks, and the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

No. The PDLSQ is privacy/bed/bath function, which locks from the inside only. For a keyed pocket door opening, 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 (2 inch by 7-1/4 inch) is a keyed mortise unit.

The PDLSQ is a privacy/bed/bath function lock, so on a closet or hall pocket door where no locking is wanted, use a passage unit instead. Passage options include the Deltana SDP25 (2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch), the Emtek 2101 (2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch), the Weslock 0527 rectangular passage pocket door lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Omnia 7012/N modern rectangular passage lock with mortise edge pull.

The Orca PDLSQ is a square-trim privacy pocket door lock. Where the existing prep needs some tolerance, the Weslock 0577 rectangular privacy pocket door lock offers an adjustable backset and a full lip strike, the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Privacy Pull has an adjustable backset, and the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable privacy pocket door lock measuring 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch.

The PDLSQ is listed as a privacy/bed/bath lock, and no emergency release feature is part of its description. If an outside release is a requirement for you, for example in a rental or a care facility, the Omnia 7012/L modern rectangular pocket door lock is specified with privacy function and an emergency release.

Orca describes the PDLSQ as a residential application product. If you are specifying for a commercial corridor or a high-traffic institutional restroom, a heavy-duty unit such as the Deltana SDLA325 or the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch is the closer fit for that duty.

The Orca PDLSQ is the square-trim privacy pocket door lock. For round trim on the same type of opening, the Pamex PF2 Round Sliding Door Lock has a 2-3/8 inch backset and fits doors 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch thick, and the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Privacy Pull with adjustable backset is a round privacy option. On the passage side, the Weslock 0627 is a round pocket door lock with adjustable backset and full lip strike.

Square-trim pocket door pulls are the common mix-up. The Sure-Loc Square Pocket Door Pull with adjustable backset and the Sure-Loc Round Pocket Door Pull are passage units, and the Sure-Loc DP711 pocket door pull for sliding and barn doors is passage as well - none of them latch for privacy. The Omnia 7012/PD is a pair dummy set, so it provides trim and an edge pull with no latching at all. The Orca PDLSQ is privacy/bed/bath function.

The Orca PDLSQ is a privacy/bed/bath pocket door lock in a square trim. Where you need to be able to get into an occupied bath from the corridor side, the Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with privacy function and emergency release, and the Rockwood 891 pocket door privacy latch is another privacy-function option for the same application.

The PDLSQ uses a compact square trim. For a larger face plate, the Deltana SDL60 is a 6 inch decorative privacy pocket door lock, the Emtek #8 Classic Arched pocket door mortise lock measures 2-7/8 inch by 7-5/8 inch in brass, and the Emtek 2153 Narrow Modern Rectangular mortise lock runs 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch for a tall narrow look.

Four finishes: oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, black, and polished chrome. If you are matching existing hardware across a run of doors, black and oil-rubbed bronze read very differently in person, so match to the hinges and levers already hung rather than to the finish name.

The PDLSQ is sold as a privacy pocket door lock rather than a single face plate, so it covers the locking side and the pull side of the door with the mating strike. Order one per pocket door leaf. On a converging pair of pocket doors you need one unit per leaf plus a pull for the passive side.
