Pocket door latch - help me find one for a thin door

Well, you got 10 "atta boy's" for finding something.  Then you lost 20 "atta boy's" for sending my hopes up only to be dashed by the need to commit my first born in order to be able to buy it.  So, you are at a negative 10 "atta boy's" right now....

For a man in your position it is just chump change  With the hesitation I sense your firstborn must still be of the age they are likeable lol.

Steve, the first latch is interesting, but will not work for me.  My doors are surface mounted on the wall and exposed on the bathroom side.  The second latch is in line with what I need, but it needs to latch in the closed position.  Thanks for the ideas!

Actually, that first rocker latch would still work in the situation you describe. Mount it in the wall behind the door in the closed position instead of the door itself.

Likable, yes, but then my situation is a bit different then most others as I've adopted my children...  I've had less time to "mess" with their heads then most.  :-)  I'm trying to make up for it though!

Without tearing my door latch apart and looking for a mfr. name I can't 100% guarantee that this is the same latch but I am sure enough that it is that I would wager a decent single malt.  I know the specs say 1-3/8 but my door it only a hair over 1" so either there are different versions of this hardware or you can get away with using it on thinner doors.

Thanks Bob.  I'll check my local hardware store out and see exactly how thin those latches can go.  Maybe 1 3/8" is just a standard width and therefore they just list that as the narrowest size by default.
