What is included in a sliding door lock kit?

A sliding door lock kit usually includes the lock body and strike plate, a flush privacy turn, an emergency release, an edge pull and fixings, all in a matching finish.

Should I buy a sliding door lock kit or separate parts?

A kit is best for new pocket doors because every part is designed to work together. Separate lock bodies suit replacing a worn lock while keeping existing handles.

Kit or Separate Parts?

Choose a kit when you are fitting a new pocket door and want everything to match first time. Choose sliding door locks only when you are replacing a worn lock body or keeping existing flush handles. Before ordering, check the door thickness each kit suits and whether you need a 40mm or 50mm backset.
