Emtek Square Pocket Door Locks & Flush Pulls

Available designs include a tubular lock for standard tubular door preparation, a mortise lock with an integrated edge pull, and a 2-1/2" square flush pull for applications that do not require an integrated latch or lock.

Why Choose Emtek Square Pocket Door Hardware?

Square pocket door hardware works particularly well when you want straight architectural lines and a low-profile design on a sliding door. The right option depends on whether the opening requires passage, privacy, dummy, or pull-only operation and whether the door is prepared for tubular, mortise, or flush-pull hardware.

• Clean square profile: Square trim provides a geometric alternative to round or arched pocket door hardware and can coordinate with other angular architectural details.
• Multiple hardware types: The current assortment includes tubular and mortise pocket door locks as well as a standalone square flush pull.
• Passage and privacy functions: Emtek offers non-locking passage and locking privacy configurations for supported square pocket door locks.
• Dummy options: Supported dummy configurations provide hardware for applications such as the inactive leaf of a pair of pocket doors.
• Integrated door retrieval: Emtek's tubular and mortise pocket door lock platforms incorporate an edge-pull function to help retrieve the door from the pocket.
• Solid brass trim: Emtek specifies solid-brass trim on its Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock and solid brass construction for its 2-1/2" Square Flush Pull.
• Multiple finishes: Shoppers can coordinate square pocket door hardware with other Emtek door, cabinet, and bath hardware using compatible manufacturer finishes.

Types of Emtek Square Pocket Door Hardware Available

Square Pocket Door Tubular Locks

Emtek's Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock uses a standard tubular door preparation rather than a mortised lock body. Emtek specifies solid-brass trim, an all-metal housing, and a 2-in-1 tubular privacy latch with a pop-out edge pull. The current platform is available in privacy, passage, and dummy functions.

The tubular lock fits doors from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick and uses a standard 2-1/8" door preparation with a 2-3/8" backset. Because the backset is fixed for this product family, confirm the existing door preparation before ordering.

Square Pocket Door Mortise Locks

Emtek's Square Pocket Door Mortise Lock uses a mortise lock body rather than standard tubular preparation. It combines square face trim with an integrated push-button edge pull that extends from the edge of the door when needed, helping retrieve a door that has been pushed into the pocket.

The current Coastal configuration includes privacy, passage, and dummy functions. Emtek specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8", requires the door thickness to be specified when ordering, and lists the trim plates at 1/8" thick. Handing is not required for standard configurations.

2-1/2" Square Flush Pulls

For sliding doors that do not require an integrated latch or privacy lock, Emtek's Square Flush Pull provides a simple recessed grip. Emtek specifies this pull at 2-1/2" x 2-1/2", identifies it as solid brass, and designs it to fit a standard 2-1/8" diameter door preparation.

A flush pull is different from a complete pocket door lock. It provides a recessed gripping surface but does not by itself add passage or privacy locking functionality. Confirm whether the opening requires only a pull or a complete pocket door lock before ordering.

Passage, Privacy & Dummy Functions

Passage Pocket Door Locks

Passage hardware allows the pocket door to operate without providing a locking function. This configuration is suitable for closets, pantries, connecting rooms, and other interior spaces where privacy is not required. Both the tubular and mortise square pocket door platforms are offered in passage configurations.

Privacy Pocket Door Locks

Privacy hardware adds an interior locking function for rooms such as bathrooms and bedrooms. The operating components differ between Emtek's tubular and mortise platforms, so review the exact product specifications and installation instructions rather than assuming the two lock types work identically.

Dummy Pocket Door Locks

Dummy configurations are intended for supported applications where a conventional operating latch or privacy lock is not required. Emtek identifies its dummy tubular hardware for double-door applications, while the mortise dummy configuration can be used with a corresponding passage or privacy lock on a pair of pocket doors. Confirm the complete double-door hardware arrangement before ordering.

Tubular vs. Mortise Square Pocket Door Locks

The most important difference between Emtek's tubular and mortise square pocket door locks is the door preparation. The tubular platform is designed around a standard 2-1/8" tubular bore and a 2-3/8" backset. The mortise version requires a dedicated mortise preparation for the lock body and uses different hardware within the edge of the door.

If you are replacing existing pocket door hardware, identify the preparation already in the door before selecting a new lock. A tubular pocket door lock and mortise pocket door lock are not interchangeable simply because both use square trim.

For new doors, choose the hardware before the door is prepared whenever possible. This allows the installer or door supplier to follow the correct Emtek template for the selected lock rather than modifying an incompatible preparation later.

How to Choose the Right Emtek Square Pocket Door Lock

Start with the required function and existing door preparation. Then compare door thickness, backset, trim dimensions, finish, and whether an integrated edge pull or standalone flush pull best suits the opening.

• Choose the function: Determine whether the door requires passage, privacy, dummy, or pull-only operation.
• Identify the door preparation: Confirm whether the door is prepared for a tubular lock, mortise lock, or simple 2-1/8" bore for a flush pull.
• Verify door thickness: The Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock fits 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors. The mortise lock has a 1-3/8" minimum and requires the thickness to be specified.
• Check the backset: Emtek's square tubular pocket door lock uses a 2-3/8" backset only.
• Consider door retrieval: The lock platforms include an edge-pull function, while a standalone flush pull may need to be considered alongside separate edge hardware depending on how far the door retracts.
• Confirm double-door requirements: If you have paired pocket doors, verify which door receives the active passage or privacy hardware and which configuration is needed on the opposite leaf.
• Compare the finish: Select the exact Emtek finish that best coordinates with nearby levers, hinges, cabinet hardware, bath accessories, and other visible hardware.
• Use the correct installation template: Tubular and mortise versions require different preparations, so follow the documentation for the exact product.

Materials, Styles & Finishes

Construction varies by product. Emtek specifies the Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock with solid-brass trim, an all-metal housing, and a cast nose bolt. The 2-1/2" Square Flush Pull is made from solid brass. The mortise lock combines decorative trim with a separate mortise lock body and integrated edge-pull mechanism, so it should not simply be described as an entirely solid-brass lock.

Finish availability varies across the three square hardware types. Current and supported options include finishes such as Flat Black, French Antique, Lifetime Polished Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Pewter, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel, and Unlacquered Brass. The Square Flush Pull also extends into select Bronze Patina finishes, including Medium Bronze Patina and Tumbled White Bronze.

Not every finish is available on every product. Emtek also notes that visible components on its mortise pocket door locks may not always use the exact same finish treatment as the face trim. For certain brass-toned and dark finishes, the push button and D-ring use a brass finish; with Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, and Polished Nickel configurations, those components use a chrome finish.

Emtek Square Pocket Door Options

The current collection is focused on three distinct approaches to square pocket door hardware, making it important to compare function and door preparation rather than appearance alone.

• Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock: Uses standard tubular preparation and is offered in passage, privacy, and dummy functions with an integrated pop-out edge pull.
• Square Pocket Door Mortise Lock: Uses a dedicated mortise lock body and integrated push-button edge pull, with privacy, passage, and dummy configurations currently represented.
• 2-1/2" Square Flush Pull: A solid-brass recessed pull measuring 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and designed for a standard 2-1/8" door bore.

Installation & Compatibility

Door preparation is especially important with pocket door hardware. Emtek's Square Pocket Door Tubular Lock fits 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, uses a standard 2-1/8" door preparation, and requires a 2-3/8" backset. The Square Flush Pull also fits a standard 2-1/8" bore, although it does not contain the tubular latch mechanism used by the lock.

The Square Pocket Door Mortise Lock requires a different mortise preparation. Emtek specifies a minimum door thickness of 1-3/8", and the door thickness must be specified for all functions. Because mortise and tubular products are prepared differently, verify the exact lock before routing, drilling, or modifying the door.

Both Emtek lock platforms are currently listed as complete sets with required screws and strike hardware for their supported configurations. Nevertheless, review the individual installation guide before beginning work, particularly for paired pocket doors, replacement installations, split finishes, or doors with an existing preparation.
