How To Create A Pocket Door

A brief description of how we created a pocket door for a small bedroom

That's a GREAT idea! Thank you for the video.

Hey, that's a very nice hack! (Which is a compliment, as opposed to calling something a hack job, LOL) Not that people questioned it but thru bolts in the door don't allow for vertical adjustment that one gets when using the standard trucks/wheel sets in the kits. HOWEVER, I have 6 pocket doors in my house, 3 of which I installed myself, and in the past 15 years none of them needed adjusting. Pretty ingenious job using mostly what you had on hand!

The heck, you nailed it. I was getting ready to go down the diy pocket door rabbit hole. But you covered it in the 1st video. Nice!

You’re simply amazing to share this with us, I’ve been looking for a solution to install a pocket door without a mess of breaking down the walls and your idea is something I can do it myself because I love DIY’s of all sorts 😅thanks for sharing…

Creative way to utilize a small amount of space, essentially a barn door with a framed out "pocket" to hide it behind a wall. Not bad at all.

Thanks for this video! Going to do this at my place!

Great idea. I will just redesign the brackets you used. I will leave them as U shape and secure them on top of door instead. Awesome!

[charlesstratford]

Not a bad idea at all. Love creative content, really quite brilliant. Just to bring additional value to the compliment, I am a finishing carpenter & heritage contractor who works the creative side regularly

Ty Exactly what I was looking for, we can't put q pocket door so I wanted an external add on like this.

Hey really would like to see the outcome of it being completed please. Its a great idea, i am inspired!!!

[CarmelandChocolate]

Where is part 2? I want to see how you finished this project!

[MrSodajoy]

I would like to know the size of the steel bar. Great video I have a basement with two small bedrooms and with this setup they will have a lot of room

[meadoman]

Do you have a video on creating the pop-out wall as this is something I am looking to do in one of the rooms in my mobile home

[ShirleySims-imce]

Is there a video as well on how the pocket door was finished. Thank you.

[votesudanusa]

Nice video. What does the bottom look like? Is that on a track?

[alberttatlock]

Well done I’m all for saving a buck top man 👍
