Door Hardware - Sliding Door Lock Sets

Sliding door lock sets: a single latch, not a multi-point chassis

Everything here throws one bolt where the moving panel meets the frame, simpler to install and service than the three-point hardware covered elsewhere in this catalog, though it won't resist a forced door quite the way multi-point locking does. The Rectangular Patio Sliding Door Set comes in 1 3/4" x 11" and a larger 2 1/2" x 13" and 1 3/4" x 13", while the Rectangular Entry Sliding Door Set runs a narrower 1 3/8" x 11", built for a lighter entry stile than the patio versions carry, and generally the first size to check when replacing existing hardware.

Patio Sliding Door Lock versus Privacy Sliding Door Lock

The Patio Sliding Door Lock keys from the outside as well as turning from within, since a patio opening is still an exterior one that a stranger could walk up to. The Privacy Sliding Door Lock drops the exterior key altogether: turn it from the inside only, the right call for a bath or closet slider, where nobody ever needed to lock it from the hallway to begin with, and a key would only slow things down.

Why the Pocket Door Lock stands apart

A pocket door retracts into the wall cavity rather than swinging on hinges, leaving no face where a protruding handle or lever could sit. That's the reasoning behind the Pocket Door Lock, at 2 1/2" x 8": a recessed pull paired with an edge-mounted latch, sized to pass through the wall pocket without catching on the frame as it travels. None of the patio or entry sets above will fit here; there's nowhere for their hardware to sit once a door disappears into the wall like this one does. Measure the existing pocket lock before ordering a replacement, since not every edge latch shares the same mounting depth.
