Abstract:

With the adoption of this new modern latching system, (FIG. ) closing and latching a pocket door will be just as simple and convenient as closing and latching a swinging door, irregardless of the physical capability of the operator. This system has been masterfully designed and engineered with appropriate lever handles that are prominently mounted on the face of the door, where they will be convenient to use by people of all ages and physical encumbrances. Coupling these handles to a reliable automatic latching embodiment and complementing the completed assembly with door guides , promises to be a bold step forward in latching concepts for modern interior pocket doors.
