Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Locks

Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Locks

Emtek rectangular pocket door locks combine low-profile sliding-door hardware with clean architectural lines for interior pocket doors. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection includes several Emtek rectangular hardware families, ranging from simple passage and privacy locks to tubular and mortise configurations with additional functions. Coordinating rectangular flush pulls are also included for projects that need a recessed grip without a locking mechanism.

Because Emtek offers several different pocket door mechanisms within the rectangular style, shoppers should choose by function and door preparation before comparing finish or appearance. Standard notched locks, tubular locks, mortise locks, and recessed flush pulls require different door preparations and are not automatically interchangeable.

Why Choose Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Hardware?

Emtek's rectangular pocket door collection provides several ways to coordinate sliding-door hardware with modern, transitional, and rustic interiors. The right product depends on whether the opening needs only a recessed grip, basic passage operation, privacy locking, or a more substantial mortise-lock function.

• Multiple lock types: The current collection includes standard notched pocket door locks, tubular pocket door locks, and mortise pocket door locks, giving shoppers several preparation and function options.
• Passage and privacy functions: Passage hardware is available for doors that do not need to lock, while privacy options provide interior locking for applications such as bedrooms and bathrooms.
• Dummy and keyed mortise options: Select Emtek mortise-lock families add dummy and single-cylinder keyed functions beyond the passage and privacy choices offered by simpler pocket door locks.
• Coordinating flush pulls: The collection includes rectangular recessed pulls in several sizes and styles for sliding doors that do not require a complete lockset.
• Broad finish selection: Current products are represented in brass, nickel, chrome, bronze, black, and manufacturer-specific patina finishes, depending on the product family.
• Coordinated design families: Emtek offers rectangular profiles that can coordinate with other Emtek door hardware collections when compatible styles and finishes are available.

Types of Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Hardware Available

Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Locks

Emtek's Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock is a taller-format alternative to a basic notched pocket door lock. It is available in passage and privacy functions and is designed around a standard notched pocket door preparation. Emtek specifies a 3-1/8-inch-high by 1-15/16-inch-deep notch and compatibility with doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick.

The passage version is non-locking, while the privacy version includes an interior locking thumbturn. Both are sold as complete sets with finish-matching screws and a strike plate. The current product measures 2-1/2 inches wide by 4-1/2 inches high.

Rectangular Pocket Door Tubular Locks

Emtek's Rectangular Pocket Door Tubular Lock provides another installation approach for shoppers using a standard tubular door preparation rather than the notched preparation of the Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock. Current functions include passage, privacy, and dummy.

Emtek identifies this family as having brass trim, an all-metal housing, and a cast nose bolt. Because a tubular lock and a notched pocket door lock use different preparation methods, confirm the existing or planned door prep before choosing between them.

Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Locks

For projects requiring a mortise lock body, Emtek's Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Lock is available in passage, privacy, dummy, and single-cylinder keyed functions. The current design uses a D-ring thumbturn and a through-bolt lock body, with a push-button finger pull incorporated into the trim.

The Modern Rectangular Mortise Lock measures approximately 2-7/8 inches wide by 7-1/4 inches high. Coastal Hardware currently specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8 inches and requires the door thickness to be specified when ordering.

Narrow Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Locks

Emtek's Narrow Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Lock offers a slimmer rectangular trim profile for shoppers who want the functionality of a mortise lock with more minimal visible hardware. Current Emtek options include privacy, passage, dummy, and single-cylinder keyed functions.

Because this product has its own mortise preparation and dimensional requirements, do not assume it can directly replace a standard notched, tubular, or wider Modern Rectangular mortise lock. Review the current Emtek preparation documents before ordering or modifying the door.

Rustic Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Locks

The Rustic Modern Rectangular Mortise Lock combines a clean rectangular profile with Emtek's Sandcast Bronze material. Current functions include passage, privacy, dummy, and keyed operation. Emtek's current specifications identify this trim at approximately 2-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches, with a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8 inches.

Available Sandcast Bronze finishes include Flat Black Bronze Patina, Medium Bronze Patina, and Tumbled White Bronze. These finishes provide a distinctly different appearance from Emtek's standard brass-finish rectangular hardware.

Rectangular Pocket Door Flush Pulls

The collection also includes a substantial selection of rectangular recessed pulls for pocket and other sliding doors. Current Emtek options include Modern Rectangular Flush Pulls in multiple lengths, Classic Rectangular Flush Pulls, Rustic Modern Rectangular Flush Pulls, knurled designs, surface-screw configurations, and a Rectangular Flush Pull with Offset Pocket.

Emtek's standard Modern Rectangular Flush Pull is solid brass and is currently offered in 4-inch, 6-inch, 7-inch, 10-inch, and 14-inch lengths. These pulls provide a recessed gripping point without the locking mechanism found in a pocket door lockset.

How to Choose the Right Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Lock

Start with the function and existing door preparation. A product that looks similar from the face of the door may use a very different lock body or installation method inside the door.

• Choose the required function: Passage is appropriate where locking is not needed, privacy adds interior locking, dummy hardware does not operate a latch, and keyed mortise options provide key-operated access where supported.
• Identify the door preparation: Determine whether the project calls for a notched pocket door lock, standard tubular preparation, mortise lock body, or a recessed pull only.
• Measure the door thickness: Thickness requirements vary by family. The Modern Rectangular notched lock fits 1-3/8-inch to 1-3/4-inch doors, while several mortise products require the exact door thickness to be specified.
• Review trim dimensions: Rectangular profiles vary considerably in width and height. Compare the selected trim with the available door surface and any existing preparation before purchase.
• Check keyed-lock requirements: Keyed functions are available on select mortise locks rather than every product in the collection. Emtek states that its pocket door mortise locks can be keyed alike with one another but not with other Emtek product categories.
• Select the finish last: Once the correct function and preparation are established, compare the available finish choices with nearby levers, knobs, hinges, and other visible hardware.

Materials, Styles & Finishes

Materials vary across the collection and should be confirmed by product family. Emtek's Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock and Modern Rectangular Flush Pulls use solid brass, while the Rustic Modern Rectangular Mortise Locks and coordinating Rustic Modern flush pulls use Emtek's Sandcast Bronze material. The Rectangular Tubular Lock is identified with brass trim and an all-metal housing.

The current Coastal Hardware collection is represented in finishes that include Polished Brass, Satin Brass, French Antique, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Lifetime Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Pewter, Flat Black, Polished Chrome, Unlacquered Brass, Flat Black Bronze Patina, Medium Bronze Patina, and Tumbled White Bronze. Availability varies significantly by product family.

Finish characteristics should also be considered when coordinating hardware. For example, Emtek identifies Unlacquered Brass and its bronze patina finishes as living finishes that are expected to evolve in appearance over time. Use the exact manufacturer finish rather than assuming that similarly named finishes from other manufacturers will match.

Featured Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Collections

All products currently shown in this collection are from Emtek, but several distinct Emtek hardware families are represented. They differ in function, preparation, trim dimensions, material, and design.

• Modern Rectangular: Includes the standard notched pocket door lock, mortise lock, flush pulls, surface-screw pulls, knurled pulls, and other coordinating rectangular designs.
• Narrow Modern Rectangular: Provides a slimmer trim profile for mortise-lock applications while retaining passage, privacy, dummy, and keyed function choices.
• Rustic Modern Rectangular: Combines rectangular styling with Emtek's Sandcast Bronze material in Flat Black Bronze Patina, Medium Bronze Patina, and Tumbled White Bronze.
• Classic Rectangular: Adds a more traditional rectangular flush-pull option for projects where the highly minimal Modern profile is not preferred.

Installation & Compatibility

Emtek rectangular pocket door hardware does not use one universal preparation. Standard notched locks, tubular locks, mortise locks, and recessed flush pulls each have their own preparation requirements. Before ordering, identify the exact product family and compare the manufacturer's template with the door.

The Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock is specifically designed for a standard notch approximately 3-1/8 inches high by 1-15/16 inches deep and fits door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches. By comparison, Emtek's Modern Rectangular mortise hardware uses a mortised lock body and requires the door thickness to be specified.

Flush pulls also require product-specific routing or preparation. Sizes range across the current collection, and knurled, offset-pocket, surface-screw, and standard recessed designs should not be assumed to share the same cutout. Review Emtek's installation template before routing a new door or modifying an existing pocket door.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emtek Rectangular Pocket Door Locks

What is the difference between a passage and privacy pocket door lock?

A passage pocket door lock does not provide an internal locking function and is commonly selected for closets, laundry rooms, and other spaces where privacy is not required. A privacy lock includes an interior locking mechanism and is typically used for bedrooms, bathrooms, and similar rooms. Exact operation varies by Emtek product family.

What is the difference between a notched, tubular, and mortise pocket door lock?

They use different door preparations and locking mechanisms. Emtek's Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Lock fits a specific notched preparation, its Rectangular Tubular Lock installs on a tubular door preparation, and its mortise locks require a larger mortised lock body inside the door. They should not be considered interchangeable without changing the door preparation.

Does Emtek offer keyed rectangular pocket door locks?

Yes. Single-cylinder keyed functions are available on select Emtek rectangular pocket door mortise locks. They are not available on every rectangular pocket door product. Emtek states that its keyed pocket door mortise locks can be keyed alike with one another but cannot be keyed alike with other Emtek product categories.

What door thickness works with Emtek rectangular pocket door locks?

It depends on the product. The Modern Rectangular notched lock fits doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick. Several Emtek mortise-lock families have a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8 inches and require the exact thickness to be specified when ordering. Check the selected product before purchase.

Does this collection include rectangular flush pulls?

Yes. In addition to complete pocket door locksets, the current collection contains Emtek rectangular recessed pulls in several styles and sizes, including Modern, Classic, Rustic Modern, knurled, surface-screw, and offset-pocket designs.

Current products are represented in finishes including Polished Brass, Satin Brass, French Antique, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Lifetime Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Pewter, Flat Black, Polished Chrome, Unlacquered Brass, and several Sandcast Bronze patinas.
