HOMOTEK Privacy Sliding Door Lock with Pull - Replace Old Or Damaged Pocket Locks Hardware Quickly and Easily, 2-3/4”x2-1/2”, for 1-3/8” Thickness Door, Black

I got these to replace the original ollllddd ones in my pass-thru bathroom doors. They feel really sturdy and the black matte is really nice. Install went without issue and I did it in under an hour. Price was so amazing! I could not be happier. So easy peasy. They latch down & lock perfectly & I can now use the restroom in peace without my kids strolling in like it ain't nothing LMAOHad tried a different brand first but they felt really cheap and wouldn't even fit together plus the directions made zero sense. So glad I went with these on the second & final try!

After our bathroom remodel the old varnished brass/gold pocket door stuck out like a sore thumb. We had brushed nickel throughout bathroom so we ordered this replacement locking pocket door in brushed nickel. It looks fantastic!It fit really snug after removing the old one. I had to use a rubber mallet to tap it into place once I was able to fit it onto the door. Our old locking door hardware never locked - this one locks perfectly. I am really happy with this purchase. I am going to buy another one (non locking though) for the laundry room.The only real challenge I ran into with the replacement was that the old strike plate had a stripped Phillips screw. I had to do a web search to find out how to resolve. I used a thick rubber band, put it over the head of the screw driver and firmly pushed into the stripped screw and was able to remove it.CONSOnce in place it didn’t fit exactly where the other did and went in so snug it splintered the wood a little (see photos). Not a big deal to me though, I will clean this up and paint the door so it looks brand new.

I liked that it was easy to install, but it you have to switch the sides of the locks, that becomes tricky. The pieces of the lock are so flimsy, that it took me over an hour to piece it back together, since I had to switch the locking sides. Instructions were very unclear, so I just gave up on trying to dicepher the images.

The lock on our old fixture was not staying locked. Upon taking it apart, I found that the thin piece of sheet metal with two notches (once on each end) that is inside the mechanism and is meant to hold the lock hook down, had broken in two pieces. I measured all dimensions of my existing lock hardware mechanism and compared to the dimension diagram of this lock mechanism. It seemed to be an exact match of my current mechanism so I ordered one and it did turn out to be an exact match. The installation was a breeze. Very happy with the product, literature, and outcome. I actually ordered a spare as I have two pocket sliders and it one ever goes bad again, I do not have to research again as I spent time at various other hardware and home improvement stores looking for a drop in replacement.

5 stars--but--be careful.If you live in a new house and you are not very handy and have not installed this before: Don't. Hire someone. You are going to hire someone anyway after you mess this up, so save yourself the time and headache--and possibly, a new door!I have an old house, am pretty handy, AND (big part coming) the exact cut had already been made, as I was replacing, not installing from scratch. Even with all that, I look at it, and kind of laugh. It is far from perfect--that is, my installation. Example: I did not mortise out the strike plate area (besides the indentation for the latch), so it does not sit flush. Any smart guy would notice this, and instantly think less of you. : ) I think less of me already for this!However, since my purpose is to permanently close the pocket door, no one will see it. So, no matter.See what I mean?Anyway, really high qual item, nice finish, great price, I def recommend and will remember this brand--esp since it is such an odd name--Homo tek! Seriously!? : )(Pictured--Antique Brass)

Nice quality and easy to install

I'm leaving a three-star review for the HOMOTEK Privacy Sliding Door Lock with Pull. While the concept of a privacy lock with a pull is promising, I encountered some difficulties due to the size of the product.First and foremost, the idea of having a privacy lock with a pull for sliding doors is convenient and practical. It provides an extra layer of security and privacy, which is particularly valuable for certain settings.However, I found that the size of the lock posed some challenges in terms of functionality. The smaller size of the lock made it difficult to grasp and manipulate, which hindered the ease of opening and closing the sliding door. This aspect impacted the overall usability of the lock, as the goal of such a product is to enhance convenience and security.While I understand that compact designs can be appealing in terms of aesthetics and space-saving, there's a balance that needs to be struck between size and functionality. In this case, the size seemed to compromise the ease of use.On a positive note, the concept of a privacy lock with a pull remains a valuable one, especially for those who prioritize privacy and security in their living spaces.In conclusion, the HOMOTEK Privacy Sliding Door Lock with Pull offers a practical concept for enhancing privacy and security for sliding doors. However, the smaller size of the lock posed challenges in terms of ease of use, making it harder to open and close the door. If the size is adjusted to offer improved functionality, this product could offer greater value. Based on my experience, I believe a three-star rating accurately reflects my mixed feelings about the product's size-related challenges.

Works great!
