Pocket Door Locks and Pulls for Tight Spaces
Pocket and sliding doors save floor space, but they need their own hardware because there is no room for a knob that sticks out. The locks here mount flush and pull the door closed with a recessed edge pull, and the lock function decides whether the door can be secured for a bathroom or just latched for a closet.
Match the hardware to your door thickness and the existing mortise, and be clear about whether you need a privacy function that locks or a passage set that only latches. A privacy pocket lock for a bathroom should have an emergency release on the outside edge; a passage set will not lock at all.

Choosing well
Sort out door thickness and the function you need first, then pick the finish. Get those right and a pocket door feels as finished as any swinging door, without eating the wall space.
