Do you love the versatility and aesthetically pleasing look of barn doors, but still want the privacy of being able to lock your door when needed? Allow us to introduce the CaviLock CL400C Magnetic Keyed Pocket Door Lock, a unique type of barn door hardware that features a flush mounting lock that allows your door to slide open completely. This piece is the perfect addition to any home or office door, as it offers privacy while maintaining the open feel and trendy look of the barn door. So for this post, we’ll be exploring the benefits and key features of CaviLock keyed pocket door locks. We’ll also share a few other ways that you can create space dividers using sliding doors.
Key Features of CaviLock Pocket Door Locks
CaviLock keyed pocket door locks are known for their superior quality, sleek design, and reliable functionality. These locks are specifically designed for sliding doors, offering seamless integration and effortless operation. Two of their greatest features are their enhanced security and impressive convenience. They feature a secure locking mechanism, ensuring complete privacy between divided spaces. Additionally, the keyed entry system enhances security and allows for controlled access to the room or area.
Another key feature of the CaviLock lock is its unique space-saving design. On their own, pocket doors and barn doors already act as a space-saving solution – when combined with CaviLock locks, the benefits are even greater. With this lock, the doors slide smoothly into the wall cavity, maximizing usable floor space and enabling a seamless transition between open and closed configurations. Additionally, these locks can be used for a range of barn door installations, including home offices and conference rooms. They are equally suitable for residential and commercial settings – the door in these photos divides two office spaces.
In terms of aesthetic appeal, the CaviLock lock has a clean, modern look. The wrap-around style is easy to fit and doesn't require the complicated door prep that most high-end mortise pocket door locks require. This piece of barn door hardware is available in five finishes: polished chrome, satin chrome, satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Three different face plates are offered, so you must specify your door thickness when ordering. For doors measuring 1 3/8" - 1 1/2" (33-40 MM), the standard faceplate is used. For doors measuring 1 9/16" - 1 3/4" (40-45 MM), a wider faceplate is required. And for doors measuring 1 13/16"- 2" (46-52mm), an oversized faceplate is needed.

Other Creative Space Divider Ideas
In addition to using CaviLock locks to create locking barn doors, there are numerous other ways to use sliding doors as space dividers. Sliding doors offer versatile options to transform your space while maintaining an open and functional feel – whether you're seeking transparency or flexibility, these doors provide endless possibilities for innovative and stylish space dividers. Here are some ideas to inspire your next project:
- Hanging Room Dividers: Use sliding panels with various materials such as glass, fabric, or wood to create elegant hanging room dividers. These can be suspended from the ceiling or mounted on a track system.
- Folding Doors: Install folding doors with multiple hinged panels to create flexible space dividers. This design allows you to open up or close off areas quickly and easily.
- Bookcase Doors: Combine the functionality of a sliding door with a bookcase for a stylish and space-saving divider. The door slides along a hidden track within the bookcase, revealing or concealing the adjacent space as desired.
- Glass Partitions: Use sliding glass doors to create transparent partitions, allowing natural light to flow while maintaining a sense of separation. Frosted or textured glass can be incorporated for added privacy.
- Customizable Panel Systems: Consider modular panel systems that can be reconfigured to adapt to changing needs. These systems allow for the creation of unique patterns, designs, and even movable art installations.
