In the case you have decided you want to install a single pocket door in your home; you have probably done your up-front planning and made sure you know what you are going to do; with any infrastructure inside your chosen wall. You have found a good quality pocket door kit that can handle the weight of your chosen door. All that is left to do is install the door.

You can call us to help installing the door.

if you wish to do it yourself, here is how to install your pocket door. First hang some plastic sheets around the area where you will be working. Your first step is opening the wall and that’s going to generate lots of dust; but the plastic will help contain it. Use your tape measure and mark the rough opening needed to install your new door. Be sure to make the opening a couple of inches wider and higher than your door requires.

Make your opening by holding your reciprocating at a low angle and cut through the drywall along your markings. Once the dry-wall is out, cut through the wall studs and remove them. The hardware track is on the bottom of your header. Follow the directions in your kit and cut it to length with your hack saw. Next install the track ensuring it is level by placing shims where needed. For your pocket door to work properly; the opening needs to be level, plumb and square.

Once the opening is perfect you can install your door kit split studs. Next mount the hanging brackets onto the top of the door and slide them into the track. Now, hook the hanging brackets on top of the door onto the wheel carriages and adjust them so the door hangs plumb. Finish the door assembly by installing the latches, pulls or lock you have selected. Complete your pocket door assembly by installing new dry-wall (screwed into the split studs – don’t use screws any longer than 1 ¼”), then tape and ‘mud’ it. After sanding, all you have to is to install the door jambs, trim casing and finally, paint your drywall.
