Push To Open Latch

Pocket doors are a great way to save space in small rooms. They slide into a pocket in the wall, leaving the opening completely clear when the door is open. However, pocket doors can be difficult to open and close, especially if they are heavy or have a lot of friction. A push to open latch is a device that makes it easy to open and close pocket doors. It is a small, spring-loaded mechanism that is installed on the leading edge of the door. When you push on the leading edge of the door, the touch latch releases and the door slides open.

To use a pocket door with a push to open latch, follow these steps:

1. Stand in front of the door and push on the leading edge of the door.
2. The latch will release and the door will slide open.
3. To close the door, simply press lightly against the edge of the door.
4. The integrated spring will push the door out of the wall pocket so far that the handle is accessible again.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The latch is designed to work with a flush handle. If your door has a different type of handle, you may need to adjust the position of the touch latch.
• It is a spring-loaded, so it is important to use light pressure when opening and closing the door.
• If the door is too heavy or has a lot of friction, the touch latch may not be able to open it. In this case, you may need to install a different type of door hardware.

With a little practice, you will be able to use a pocket door with a touch latch easily and effortlessly. This will make it easier to open and close your door, and it will also make your home more accessible.

Here are some additional benefits of using a pocket door with a push to open latch:

• Convenient and easy to use.
• Secure and prevents the door from accidentally opening.
• Compatible with most pocket doors.
