Help — Pocket Door Hardware?

farwest1

I'm having trouble finding nice pocket door hardware that actually works and doesn't feel flimsy (like those cheap brass Emeco locks used in every home from the mid-eighties.)

Does anyone have any suggestions? I need a locking mechanism on one side.

is good and solid. Their website is terrible but the hardware is good. Sugatsune also has a line, though they are a little less quality than Rajack.

Accurate also sells some nice edge pulls that pop out at the push of a button.

Have you installed the Accurate pulls? I like them, but I don't quite understand how the mechanism works.

I haven't personally but a co-worker swears by them. Used them all over this townhouse renovation he just completed. I'm trying to find a good image that demonstrates how they work but all I could find was this. Similar, but the Accurate is much more solid.

FSB, Nanz, Hafele, Sugatsune, a company called... I think "db" or something from Germany... those are my go-to's off the top of my head. I think I'm missing one...

manta - it was. several strong contenders emerge with a search for 'hardware'.

Sorry if this is a rehash of an old thread. The only thing I found with a search was on keyed pocket door hardware, and it didn't really cover what I needed.

Orhan, I think that's an Accurate pocket door lock.
