"Locksmiths are ridiculous"? I just wish there was a little more support for trained professionals. Maybe we wouldn't have such a lack of them.

He works warranty on doors in The Villages and does work on the side. Did an excellent job for me. He is also a Villager himself.

“Passive” doors do not have locks

Have we scare off the OP?

That may be correct. But, my pocket door has a 2.5 inch square cutout on the edge of the door with a recessed metal pull, and no hole or any hardware on the door frame. The pocket door does not have a lock on it at all. The builder installs a lot of pocket doors to separate the bedrooms from the main living area, with no means to lock the pocket door. I don't see how the lock that the OP purchased could be installed on my pocket door with the existing square cutout in the edge of the door, unless you installed it above the existing cutout. I think that whoever installs the lock would need to inspect the existing door and select a lock that can be installed without cosmetic issues.
Well hopefully the Op is smart enough to know what kind of current mechanism he /she has on the door. If it is the round one then the new lock will fit with a little work

A lack of what? There is no shortage of tradespeople here, including locksmiths.
