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 Charles Quinones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks good but isn't very forgiving

I bought two of the same dimensions to replace the pocket door hardware in my house which helped a lot compared to others I've found has to determine the correct fit. They also look very nice and feel high quality. They are fairly easy to install, although you have to flip the handles to turn the mechanism the other way. This works well for the most part, but opening is not very forgiving on doors like mine which have a lot of play and may not always line up with the slot (I need something to help the door stay closer to the center of the opening) . ). Also, the screws for the pressure plate protrude a bit, which increases the clearance between the door and the lock a bit (I might try sanding them down with a dremmel). One of our doors also doesn't appear to be square in our 20 year old house. As a result, one of our doors locks most of the time while the other doesn't actually lock unless you lock it before closing it.

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • I won't say anything
