Easy-to-Install Locks Fit All Standard Pocket Doors Without Cutting Into the Door... or the Warranty
Johnson Hardware pocket door privacy lock for doors 1-¾”and 1 -3/8” thick that installs almost as easily as it operates -- and does so without risk of invalidating the door warranty.
Non-handed, these locks do not need to be taken apart to be used with either left - or right-handed doors, and can be installed in minutes.
In pre-bored doors, the patented Johnson lock is sized to fit standard 2-1/8" dia. bores and 2-3/8" backset openings -- without alteration. That's particularly important to homeowners and contractors who often find that the cutting necessary to install other locks ultimately voids a door's warranty.
The locks are extremely easy to use. They latch automatically when closed, bringing the added benefit of closing the door completely the first time without bouncing. Unlatching is simple also: a single touch of the button in the center of the pull is all it takes, leaving the hand in perfect position to open the door. To lock, just press the smaller button and the other side is locked out until opened again from inside. There is a safety release located discreetly on the outer side in case of emergencies -- especially reassuring to parents.
The Johnson Pocket Door Privacy Lock has a suggested retail price of less than $30 and is available in bright brass, antique brass, and satin chrome finishes. It works easily with either single or converging pocket doors.
The locks are a perfect supplement to Johnson's full line of pocket door frames and accessories. For more information on Johnson Hardware products, call (800) 837-5664, write to: L. E. Johnson Products, Inc., 2100 Sterling Avenue, Elkhart, IN 46516 or visit: www.johnsonhardware.com
