There are some high end hardware I use for this kind of install. When the times comes, I will get you the name. Swiss made, good stuff.

Thanks, I love pocket and wish I had gone that way years ago when we first moved in, but now we are planning/hoping to only be in the house another 6 months or so. I have seen some locks for sliding doors. Not the most elegant, but that's OK. I think the big deal is that they would require a bottom channel as well as the top so the door couldn't just be swung open. It seems like it would be a much bigger deal to go pocket than we would want to deal with on something that would be short term. We may just end up sticking with what we have if there isn't a decent cost effective solution.
