Orca Hardware SQPK Series Passage Pocket Door Lock

Passage function only, so there is no locking at all. The SQPK Series pocket door lock latches or pulls the door closed and opens from either side with no thumbturn, no privacy button, and no key. Right for a closet, a hall, a pantry, or a laundry pocket door. If the opening is a bathroom or bedroom that needs to lock from inside, look at a privacy version instead, such as the Weslock 0577 or the Rockwood 891 privacy latch.

The Weslock 0527 is a rectangular passage pocket door lock with no locking, the same passage/hall/closet function the Orca SQPK Series carries, and it lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Deltana SDP25 is another passage option in a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch plate, and the Emtek 2101 is a passage pocket door lock in a 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch plate. All three latch nothing and simply pull the door closed, which is how the SQPK behaves on a hall or closet opening.

A passage unit like the Orca SQPK Series is hall and closet function and does not lock, so a bath opening needs a privacy version. The Weslock 0577 is a rectangular privacy pocket door lock with adjustable backset and full lip strike, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Deltana SDL25 is privacy in a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch plate and the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable privacy unit at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch. The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular privacy lock that adds an emergency release, which matters where staff need to open the door from the corridor.

A passage unit such as the Orca SQPK Series has no cylinder. 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 is a narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock in a 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch plate, keyed. The Emtek 2153 plate is long and narrow, so confirm the stile on the pocket door has 7-1/4 inch of vertical room before specifying it.

Order it as Orca Hardware TH-SQPK-S, the SQPK Series passage pocket door lock, and specify one of the four finishes (oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel, polished chrome, black). Finish is the only option to call out; there is no handing or function variant to pick.

Rectangular trim. The SQPK is the square/rectangular plate style rather than a round escutcheon, which matters if you are matching existing pocket door plates in the same building. Round-trim alternatives include the Pamex PF2 and the Weslock 0627 round passage pocket door lock.

The Orca SQPK Series is passage/hall/closet, so it has a working latch action that holds the leaf in the jamb. The Omnia 7012/PD is a dummy function set with a mortise edge pull, meaning it is trim and a pull only with no latching at all. Use the dummy on a leaf that stays parked or is held by a magnet or floor stop, and the passage unit where the door needs to be caught in the closed position.

The Orca SQPK Series is a rectangular pocket door passage lock. For a round trim in the same passage function, the Weslock 0627 is a round passage pocket door lock with adjustable backset and full lip strike, and the Pamex PF2 is a round sliding door lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Pamex PF1 is the square version of that same Pamex trim if the shape is the only thing changing.

The Orca SQPK Series uses a compact rectangular plate. If the opening currently carries a long plate, the Emtek #8 Classic Arched pocket door mortise lock is a 2-7/8 inch by 7-5/8 inch brass unit, the Emtek 2153 narrow modern rectangular mortise lock is 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch, and the Deltana SDL60 is a 6 inch decorative privacy pocket door lock. Those cover an existing tall mortise cutout that a compact plate would leave exposed.

No. The Rockwood 891 is a pocket door privacy latch, so it locks the opening, while the Orca SQPK Series is passage/hall/closet and does not. They mount in the same kind of pocket door but answer different door schedules - specify the 891 where the room needs to be secured from inside, and a passage unit on corridor, hall and closet leaves.

Yes, several families run both functions so a whole unit reads the same. Deltana pairs the SDP25 passage with the SDL25 privacy, both in a 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch plate. Emtek pairs the 2101 passage with the 2102 privacy, both 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch. Omnia runs the 7012/N modern rectangular passage with mortise edge pull, the 7012/L privacy with emergency release, and the 7012/PD pair dummy on the same rectangular trim. Weslock runs the 0527 passage against the 0577 privacy in rectangular. That lets you keep one plate shape on hall, bath and closet doors.

The Weslock 0527 rectangular passage unit and the Weslock 0627 round passage unit both carry an adjustable backset with a full lip strike, which is useful when the pocket frame and jamb reveal vary from door to door across a building. The Deltana SDLA325 is the adjustable option on the privacy side. The Emtek 2101 passage and Deltana SDP25 passage units are fixed-plate designs at 2-3/8 inch by 3-1/8 inch and 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch respectively.

If the edge pull needs to be part of the same unit, the Omnia 7012/N modern rectangular passage lock includes a mortise edge pull, and the Omnia 7012/PD dummy set does as well. The Weslock 0527 passage unit and the Weslock 0627 round passage unit are specified with a full lip strike. Confirm the edge pull on the take-off before you count the pocket doors as complete, since the leaf cannot be pulled out of the pocket without one.

No handing to specify on the SQPK. Passage pocket door hardware mounts symmetrically into the door edge and stile, so the same part works on a left- or right-sliding pocket door. The only decision at order time is finish.
