Setup and Installation

The Emtek Pocket Door Privacy Lock Set is designed for standard door preparation, making installation straightforward. Ensure all included components are present before beginning.

1. Prepare the Door: Verify that your pocket door has the standard cutouts for a privacy lock set. This typically includes a rectangular mortise for the lock body and circular bores for the pulls.
2. Install the Mortise Lock Body: Insert the mortise lock body into the prepared mortise in the door edge. Secure it with the provided screws, ensuring it sits flush with the door edge.
3. Attach the Door Pulls: Position the interior and exterior door pulls over the lock body, aligning them with the through-bolt holes. Secure them using the provided fasteners. Ensure the privacy turn piece and emergency release mechanism are correctly oriented. The lock set is reversible for left or right-handing; adjust as necessary during this step.
4. Install the Strike Plate: With the door in the closed position, mark the location for the strike plate on the door jamb. Chisel out the necessary recess and secure the strike plate with screws. Ensure the lock bolt engages smoothly with the strike plate.
5. Test Operation: Fully extend and retract the lock bolt several times to confirm smooth operation. Test the privacy function from both sides of the door.

For detailed diagrams and specific measurements, refer to the installation template provided with your product packaging.

Operating Instructions

The Emtek Pocket Door Privacy Lock Set provides simple and effective privacy for your door.

• Engaging Privacy: From the interior side of the door, locate the small turn piece on the door pull. Rotate this turn piece to extend the privacy bolt into the strike plate, securing the door.
• Disengaging Privacy: From the interior side, rotate the turn piece back to its original position to retract the privacy bolt, allowing the door to open freely.
• Emergency Release: In case of an emergency or accidental lockout, an emergency release mechanism is located on the exterior side of the door pull. This typically involves a small slot or hole where a flat tool (e.g., a coin or screwdriver) can be inserted to disengage the lock.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Emtek Pocket Door Privacy Lock Set.

• Cleaning the Finish: For the Antique Brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing compounds, as these can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Lubrication: Periodically, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the lock mechanism (e.g., the bolt and turn piece) to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, which can attract dust and grime.
• Inspection: Annually inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose components can affect the lock's performance and durability.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your lock set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lock Bolt Does Not Engage Fully:
  Possible Cause: Misalignment of the strike plate or door.
  Solution: Adjust the strike plate position on the door jamb. Ensure the door closes completely and squarely into the frame.
• Turn Piece is Stiff or Hard to Operate:
  Possible Cause: Lack of lubrication or accumulation of debris within the mechanism.
  Solution: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the turn piece and bolt. Clean any visible debris.
• Finish Appears Dull or Tarnished:
  Possible Cause: Exposure to harsh chemicals or lack of regular cleaning.
  Solution: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent dullness, consult Emtek's official guidelines for antique brass finish care. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Door Pulls are Loose:
  Possible Cause: Fasteners have loosened over time.
  Solution: Tighten the screws that secure the door pulls to the lock body. Do not overtighten.
