Information of pocket door lock

Once installed, if everything is not installed flush, you may meet resistance when unlocking or locking the door – make sure its flush. 

Also, be aware of the side to side play of your door.  If your door wiggles too much, its more difficult for the deadbolt to catch. 

These types of locks, and particularly this pocket door model, are not meant for thinner doors.  Also, the round pocket door security lock was not meant to guard against any sort of focused attack. 

These are interior locks meant to provide privacy, not turn your home into a lockdown facility.

You may also need to have on hand a good drill, a bit, a hammer, a chisel, a tape measure, nails, and a hole saw kit – depending on the state your door is in when you attempt to install this pocket door with lock.

Overall, this lock is inexpensive and has a lot going for it, and comes in a wide variety of colors. 

Most of what might be seen as drawbacks are really just considerations for anyone installing a pocket door lock like this model.
