ABSTRACT:
A pocket door latch assembly has a housing with a latch arm pivotally mounted therewithin. The latch arm has a latch nose at one end and an inverted generally V-shaped slot adjacent its other end, and the arm is pivotable between a first position wherein it is entirely within the housing and a second position wherein the latch nose extends outwardly of the housing. An actuator has a portion slidable within the slot between a first position adjacent the one end of the arm and a second position spaced from the one end to pivot the latch arm between its first and second positions. The actuating means is manipulable outwardly of the housing to slide the slidable portion of the actuating means within the slot between its first and second positions, thereby pivoting the latch arm between its positions.
