Kwikset 335 26D RND PCKT DR LCK Round Bed/Bath Pocket Door Lock in Satin Chrome

Perfect for that slim pocket door. Works great and easy to install.

DID NOT LIKE THAT FACE PLATE DID NOT FIT

Perfect fit and easy to install.

I bought the product *like-new* and it was missing a couple of screws. I was replacing the exact lock I had on my pocket door already so I had the screws but it should've came with all the needed screws.Also it had white paint stuck to it, I tried scraping it off as it did not match the paint on the door I have. It's stuck pretty good so I'll have to find another method to clean it off.The product itself works as should. Im just salty about the *like-new* aspect. As it was NOT *like-new*

This is one great, but picky little door lock.I bought it for a hallway bathroom with a pocket door. I am currently taking care of my Mom who is recovering from surgery. I wanted a lock to install as a measure for me to avoid walking in on her than to actually offer full privacy because if she were to fall and really need my help I want to be able to easily get inside. The door I have was already predrilled for a standard door knob and this lock can be unlocked with a flat head screwdriver or even a penny on the outside so it fit the bill perfectly.After installing it I encountered the same problems other people were having. The lock got significantly harder to operate. I could turn it, but I wasn't sure if my Mom could. The locking dial is very shallow and seems like it would be difficult to grab and turn for arthritic people. It turned out she could still operate it, but I wasn't satisfied and did a little testing. Turns out that to loosen up the lock you need to make sure that the plate that screws into the door jamb is absolutely flush with the jamb. My door's jamb was countersunk too deeply when it was pre drilled and the plate sat about 1/8th of an inch inside the jamb. I cut up some of the cardboard box the lock came in, folded it and fit it behind the plate so that when screwed in the plate was flushed. Doing this halved the resistance needed in turning the lock's mechanism.I did this to the deadbolt hole in my door frame as well so that the lock could catch easier on the plate that they supplied me with.Unfortunately there is one other problem with this lock that was harder to fix. Pocket doors tend to have a excessive side to side play. I can push on mine when closed and see it swing half an inch to either side. If I press on this door lock while I turn it, the deadbolt will not fit into the catch installed in the door frame. The bolt will be off by half an inch so this lock will only work if I let the door settle into the middle position and then turn it without pushing against the door.This I don't think will give me or my Mom much trouble to get the hang of. The problem lies in getting it to unlock. Both me and my Mom can't help but push a bit when unlocking the door, by doing this the nifty pop out thumb grab on the lock's deadbolt gets caught in the door frame plate that is supposed to only catch the locking mechanism itself. When this happens the best solution I found was to pull the pocket door toward me while applying pressure on the lock's dial to unlock it the rest of the way. I can do this, my Mom can't.The solution here I think is that I need to glue a little barrier to block the thumb grab from catching on the left side of the plate installed in the door frame. Thank God that the hook inside the deadbolt grabs only the right side of same plate, otherwise the lock would be made useless.Once installed the lock looks great, I only wish that the manufacturers took into account that most pocket doors have a lot play in them when designing this. At least the faults of the lock were easily fixable once I was able to narrow down the source of the problems.

Assembles well, and has the pattern for cutting a hole it worked, and I’m happy as a clam!

This Kwikset pocket door privacy latch makes a great conversion to the existing 2-0 hinged door bore installed for our toilet closet pocket door project. What's not shown is the strike plate and a black rear facing plastic cavity housing that you must carve out on the strike jamb first before the metal strike plate. I used a 7/8" flat wood bore bit for the initial hole in the center and then used a Dremel tool with a 1/8" flute wood bit attached to the 2' flexible wand to carve out all my pencil marks. Otherwise you need sharp chisels and much patience to not splinter up your jamb. It took me a total of 90 min to install these 2 pcs with my 3 chisels and dremel tool, including spending time sharpening my chisels. If i had it to do over, I know i could have it done inside 30 min as there are multi levels to carve out so it fits perfectly. Make your pencil marks carefully with a sharp pencil.Aside from the traditional square latch with a small turn knob, this one has a larger turn knob and makes for a very smooth latching feel. Between the two designs, it's just preference if you like to leave the door slightly out vs from a fully seated position to just grab the inlet or grab the edge lever to close. This Kwikset lever will snap into place for a flush look and then you push in again to release the lever to grab by. One small issue you will most likely encounter with this conversion kit, the old door knob had a larger radius housing as most will, and the original door paint did come off onto the old knob, as probably the paint was not completely dry when originally installed and it left an unpainted ring around the new housing. So now I just touch it up as best as possible with matching paint.One word of advice- before you order this product, you must inspect very carefully that your existing hinged door is perfectly flat and has a perfectly straight edge leading to the strike jamb. Lay a 6' straight edge diagonally in both axis. If the straight edge touches the door completely along both diagonals, the door is perfectly flat and will work nicely, not rubbing wood components inside the pocket or stop moulding....provided your pocket frame was installed in plumb walls. Not a single wall inside my toilet closet was plumb. FYI-new unfinished 2-0 hollow wood doors are approx $20 at Home Depot or your local home improvement center, and will require boring the 2 1/8" hole and edge bore.

Works well but alignment of door when locking is critical. Pocket doors have side to side movement.

Good manufacturing quality. The bolt latch don’t catch Easley!

Installation was very easy and it locks well.Great value for money

Doesn’t seem to function as well as hoped, looking for an alternative.

These seemed to be good quality, dark colour and shipped before expected. Unfortunately, ended up returning due to design change.

Delivery was unexpectedly quick. Replacement for existing item for which the internal spring had disconnected. Even though Kwikset has a lifetime guarantee, I wanted to save the hassle of trying to find the old receipt and go through the process. Drop in replacement for previous model. Works like a charm: locks, and extendable button allows you to pull the pocket door out of its slot when it has been pushed in all the way.
