Review on HOMOTEK Privacy Sliding Door Lock with Pull - Easy Replacement for Old/Damaged Pocket Door Locks, 2-3/4”x2-1/2”, 1-3/8” Thickness, Black by Chris Peck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good but needs milling to fit

I have made sure this lock is the perfect size for the lock I am looking to replace. The dimensions and position of the screw holes were identical. However, I found two problems. The strike plate was shorter than the original. It doesn't look great, but it doesn't matter. However, the internal mechanism moves back a quarter of an inch when closed. So when I installed the lock and tried to close it, I couldn't. The latch has not been completely removed. To do this I had to take a Dremel and cut out a significant portion of the door down to the screw holes to allow the lock to retract.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No instructions
