How do I install an EMTEK Pocket Door Lock step-by-step?

[DeBrayden]

Installing an EMTEK Pocket Door Lock involves a few key steps. First, prepare your pocket door by ensuring the necessary holes are drilled or any adjustments are made to accommodate the lock mechanism. Next, prepare the door jamb for the strike plate, which might involve chiseling or adjusting the jamb for proper alignment. Before installing the lock, it's essential to loosen the pan head screws on both sides of the EMTEK lock. This will facilitate easier installation and adjustments. Now, carefully place the lock into the prepared door, ensuring it's centered and level, and then tighten the pan head screws to secure it. After the lock is in place, re-tighten all screws to make sure it's firmly attached to the door. Finally, to secure the pocket door further, use the wood screws included with the EMTEK lock to attach the door to the pocket. You can also use machine screws if you prefer. For the most detailed instructions and illustrations, always consult the EMTEK Pocket Door Lock Installation Instructions manual that came with your specific product.
