Pocket Doors F.A.Q's
What is a pocket door?
A pocket door kit allows a door to slide into a space inside the wall, as opposed to a hinged door which opens into a room. Our Pocket door kits includes steel sections which creates the pocket and takes the place of the wall. This then is covered by plasterboard on each side. The track that comes with the kit allows your door to be top hung leaving the floor free of obstructions.
