Hoconnie 6.3” Privacy Pocket Door Lock Hardware with Key, Recessed Sliding Door Mortise Locks, Invisible Furniture Hardware for 1-7/16” ~ 1-15/16” Thickness Doors, Matte Black

This item requires patients to install and careful measurements. Turned out really nice at the end with a bigger handle to open and close than other pocket door handles.

There is no template included. No measurements in the instructions. If the return window was not closed this would sent back.

Can’t remove key when locked, can’t lock from inside without key in door. No opposite pull for opposite door. Somewhat challenging install. Lock pin is weaker than the key, they need to be the same strength. I bent the inside cross through pin with the key. It bent first. The latch that does the locking is loose and wiggles. Not a solid fit. Crack in door. When I make it solid the door becomes stuck and I can’t unlock it. It’s a pain in the ass. What is customer service phone number. I need to talk to them about whether or not the lock is just faulty or if it’s just really a stupid product some idiot is just selling. Too expensive to deal with these problems. It just doesn’t work.

This was sooo close to being a great product. Ignore those who talk about it being hard to install - EVERY mortise lock pocket door is hard to install, cheap or expensive. I've done several. That's not the issue.This review is for the "privacy" lock - lockable but no key.The good:The metal is solid, so long as everything is lined up EXACTLY the lock works nice and smooth, and it's really attractive.The bad:The templates are not quote the right size.The door handles on both sides are not designed to sit flat on the door - it shaped to bulge OUTWARD, so once assembled on the door it's a lot thicker than just the metal-of-handle + door - and it don't look great if you recess the whole thing as the curve to the metal means there's weird hollows in the door once recessed. If NOT recessed, then the door ends up being too wide for standard pocket door frames. Additionally, there's no built in pull to get the door back OUT of the pocket door track if it's been pushed all the way in. There are separate parts you can buy to let you pull the door out again (example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCLF24R9), but multiple metal inserts really takes away from the clean look. Also (though this is a minor gripe), because it's not designed to sit flush on a standard width door, to recess it to actually fit in the pocket door frame you need to cut some metal pieces inside shorter than they come. They're designed to be cut - they've different width cut marks to help - but you special tools to do it. I am lucky that I had an angle grinder available and knew how to use it, but not all people do.This would probably work great for a barn door, but it doesn't work for a pocket door as it is now.If a couple of changes were made by the manufacturer, though, this could be a VERY lovely product.

You see the picture, and you think that's a hand grip. Nope. Two fingers, at best. This kit is flimsy and yes, it was cheap, but it's built cheap as well. Spend more money. I should have, but I was inpatient.

Looks good and works as expected. Most notably it actually included instructions and a template contrary to earlier reviews.

We live this lock! I was concerned it would be difficult to engage or clunky once installed but it hides away easily and even my four year old can turn it without problem.

This is one of the most frustrating things I've bought on Amazon. It came with a schematic with specific measurements, spacing, and cut depths. I spent a lot of time getting the door prepped perfectly so this would fit in and look clean. Guess what?!? After all that the hardware didn't fit. It was like the instructions were for a bigger set of the same hardware. These guys should buy me a new door, and reassess what they are sending to people.
