Dynasty HardwareRound Bed/Bath Privacy Pocket Door Latch Aged Oil Rubbed Bronze

I've installed many locks but never one for a pocket door (I've just installed pulls). The description does not indicate (unless I missed it) that the latch is also a pull. It can be pushed into the mechanism and released by pushing it again. It is rather small and might be insufficient for a heavy door (my door was a 24" solid). The locking mechanism is rather cleaver-the latch, once in the strikeplate, extends a pull (for lack of a better word) into the strikeplate which secures it. Trying to lock the door when it is already closed is difficult-the solution, I found is to extend the locking mechanism prior the closing the door and then push it into the strikeplate-works every time.The knob used for locking and unlocking the door is rather small for my big fingers but I can lock and unlock it.It's a relatively inexpensive device; but it does work.

Summary:Basically this is a solid, good looking and functional product. It's look is quite good and fits nicely with other oil rubbed bronze items in our house. There is one downside in that it was quite stiff or "catchy" when trying to open the lock. The functionality score I give below is due to this catchiness since it is hard to turn the knob. Quite hard. As a result I removed it and lubed it with a quality silicone lube and that helped it considerably. I still think there is more to it and that the lube is just a bandaid on the issue but it made it usable. I think the factory needs to spend a little time polishing off rough edges before assembling. If they solve that this would be an easy 5 out of 5 product. One other note is that it is very sturdy. In fact its the third lock I've put in this door and it is by far the sturdiest I've found. An interesting note is that it is just a touch lower than my previous lock so I had to shift the catch hole down 1/8".Pros (1 to 5 stars):Looks 5Sturdiness 5Ease of Installation 5Cons:Functionality 2

The design of my house has several pocket doors. I hate traditional pock door hardware which is small and not secure. These Dynasty Hardware for pocket doors utilize a traditional hole cut for a standard door knob and the latch and mechanisms are larger making it easier on the hands. The locking mechanism is much more sturdy and I prefer to use solid wood doors for my pocket door installation. These Dynasty Door mechanisms make the door much more secure and private.

I am a locksmith, so my installation experience may be somewhat biased. This pocket door lock was pretty easy for me to install. It utilizes a 2 1/8" door prep. (Standard for most knobs and deadbolts)-so that's a bonus. The finish was consistent throughout the surface of the product, construction was appropriate for the price point.The escutcheon plate on either side of the lock projects about 3/32, so make sure you have clearance between the door and the door pocket.Instructions were clear but basic, and there's a decent amount of drilling and chiseling to be done, so if you don't have many tools, or aren't comfortable with wood working, I suggest professional installation.

After the third time of getting locked inside the bathroom, I remove this lock. The bolt sticks and does not retract when you turn the knob. If you buy this be sure to leave a screwdriver in the room so you can get out when you're trapped. And for those of you who are wondering, yes the door jamb was properly chiseled and had plenty of clearance. The lock is not hanging up on the door frame it is hanging up internally.

I have only used the product a short time but it seems well made with parts that fit nicely together. The locking mechanism has a little resistance to it which I appreciate, but some might want one that glides easily. I docked a star because the instructions are very basic and I had to guess at a few things.

These are pretty cool. Definitely a step up from the typical pocket door latches

This worked perfectly, and came with everything I needed to replace a broken pocket door latch. It actually works better then the old one - smoother, easier to lock and I'm very happy with this. Installed like a charm.

So hard to find a pocket door handle this colour. We redid all our door hardware from silver to black and this was the final piece to the puzzle. Looks amazing, easy install. A little over priced but happy with purchase and would highly recommend.

Purchased this on a limb because I couldn't get the Weiser pocket door lock in rubbed bronze anymore, which we have on another door in the house. The Dynasty works in the same fashion as the Weiser with the hidden handle and locks securely. Seems well built and the colour matches the existing Weiser we have.

Very easy to install but doesnt not work good very hard to turn the knob you have to really push on it i suggest to buy johnson hardware

Comme mentionne

Great colour for match to black wrought iron
