Double Pocket Doors

door doesn't look right.

An interior pocket door slides into a frame in the wall, expanding the possibilities for design. Repurpose an old door into a pocket to enhance the room's modern look without adding unnecessary details. You can integrate a pocket door into any room, complementing your house. Look at our sturdy, durable, and modern pocket doors.

You can install the double pocket door by creating a false stud wall alongside the wall. You will need to construct it exactly as you did for the shelf, using a plasterboard on both sides of the frame for extra strength. Adding this thickness to the existing wall will add only 3.7-3.9 inches. Installing pocket doors will save you a lot of space!

Pros

• Interior pocket doors are useful in spaces where hinged doors are impractical.

• They are accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users. The double pocket mechanism also requires little pushing and is easy to slide.

• Compared to standard ones, they require less floor space. With limited space in homes, double pocket doors make an excellent choice because they can disappear into walls and occupy less area around the entrance.

• With interior pocket doors with glass, you'll be able to bring in natural light, enhancing the ambiance of your home. During the day, no lights are needed, which reduces utility bills.

Cons

• A pocket door doesn't fit as tightly as a conventional door and lacks a locking function.

• Those with limited hand strength, such as arthritis sufferers, may find sliding pocket doors challenging to operate.

• Due to the framing in the wall, the pocket door hardware is quite small. It may seem unusual for people who are used to traditional door knobs.

• Pocket doors are primarily hidden inside the wall, so the tracks and hardware are hidden from view. Access can be difficult if they need repair or replacement.

Where to Use Modern Double Pocket Doors?

• Bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, and bedrooms are usually ideal for the double-pocket door.

• You can also use double pocket doors to divide adjoining spaces, for instance, between the living room and the family room. These options come in handy for creating much-needed private space in an open plan, such as cabins on open office floors.

• Using them as a divider, you can divide the rooms purposely and extend the area of the rooms at the same time for greater space needs.

• A pantry with glass panels is a perfect addition and saves the hassle of looking for anything out of sight without opening multiple drawers.

Installation Steps

Make sure you have what you need: slabs, casing, frame kit, soft closing and lockset .

Step 1: Examine the wall

Before installing the double pocket door kit, inspect the wall. Check whether the wall is load-bearing or structural.

Step 2: Cut the wall

You will need a reciprocating saw to cut through the drywall where the wall studs are located. Cut the studs and remove the partition header.

Step 3: Placing the stud

Install a new stud after measuring the door. You can then secure the header with this stud. On the floor, cut the bottom plate to size.

Step 4: Building the channel

Fix the channel runners to the floor after cutting them to size with a hacksaw. The channel needs to be perfectly level to ensure a smooth opening and closing of the door.

Step 5: Install the Second Door

To ensure that both doors are mounted and able to close flush, the second door must be mounted similarly.

Step 6: Adding weight

You will have to link the doors together so that they open if you install pocket doors that can close themselves.

Step 7: The final touches

Apply screws and adhesive to the wall to attach the drywall. If you intend to use a wall covering, skim the wall with plaster after installing the drywall.

In order to avoid possible problems associated with a violation of the installation technology, it is recommended to entrust the work of a professional.
