{"product_id":"pocket-door-lock-with-flush-pull-handles-hook-bolt-and-privacy-turn","title":"Pocket Door Lock with Flush Pull Handles, Hook Bolt and Privacy Turn","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pocket door slides away into the wall, which is the whole point of it and also the reason it almost never locks. There is nowhere to hang a lever and nowhere to sink a cylinder, so most of them get a finger hole with no mechanism behind it. The bathroom door stays open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo lever. No knob. Nothing standing out from the face of the door. Turn the bar with one finger and the hook is out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe door still looks like a door\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom across the room there is one slim oval on the face, about a hand-span tall, sitting almost flat against the timber. Nothing projects. Nothing throws a shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters more on a sliding door than anywhere else in the house. Anything standing proud of the face has to clear the frame on every single pass, and a door you have to nurse past its own hardware is a door that ends up propped open. In a wall pocket it stops being a preference at all, because the door has to travel into the wall and a lever cannot follow it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything that does the work is in the door edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSlide the door open and the edge tells you the rest. A slim plate runs down it, screwed top and bottom, with two openings cut into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper one holds the hook bolt, a flat wedge that swings out of the plate and hooks downward into the frame. A sliding door needs that shape, because an ordinary sprung latch has nothing to push against on a door that moves sideways rather than swinging. The lower opening is the edge pull. Press it and a small bar springs out to be gripped, so a door that has run its full travel into the wall can still be brought back. Let go and a spring returns it flush with the edge, so nothing is left standing out to catch the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt locks for privacy, and it opens with a coin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc at the bottom of the pull is the control. On the inside face it carries a flat bar, and a quarter turn throws the hook. On the outside face the same disc carries a narrow slot, and a coin turns it from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo the door locks from inside and opens from the landing, which is exactly what you want on a bathroom with a small child behind it. There is no key and no cylinder anywhere on it. This is a lock for the doors inside a house — a bathroom, a bedroom, an office off the hall — and a front door needs something else entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasure the thickness of your door first\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is mortised into the door rather than screwed onto the surface, so the door has to be thick enough to take it. It fits doors from 1-9\/16 to 1-31\/32 inches thick, which is 40 to 50 millimeters, and outside that range in either direction it will not go in. Sliding doors, pocket doors, barn doors and folding doors all take it, provided the leaf falls inside those two figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut a tape across the edge of yours before you order, because it takes ten seconds and it is the single number that decides whether this one fits. Get it right, pick the finish against whatever else is already on the doors, and the room ends up with a lock nobody notices until the moment they need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 6.06 x 1.38 x 0.88 in (15.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor thickness: Fits doors 1-9\/16 in to 1-31\/32 in thick (40 to 50 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill not fit: Any door thinner than 1-9\/16 in (40 mm) or thicker than 1-31\/32 in (50 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoor types: Sliding, pocket, barn and folding doors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for: An exterior or front door, or any door that has to be locked with a key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting: Mortised into the door edge, with the pull plate recessed into the door face\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFace plates: 6.06 x 1.38 in (15.4 x 3.5 cm), one on each face of the door\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLock body: 3.94 x 2.6 in (10 x 6.6 cm), mortised into the door edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge plate: 6.38 in (16.2 cm) long, screwed top and bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Zinc alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Electroplated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors: Matte Black, Gray, Gold, Rose Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLock: Hook bolt, thrown from the door edge into the frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside face: Flat bar thumb turn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside face: Coin slot release\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge pull: Spring loaded, returns flush with the door edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeys: None.
