I've used the same kit, but with the soft-open and soft-close feature for the top rollers. It makes a big difference. But the installation was the exact same. Nice job!

[olachus]

Would have been nice to use a soft close and soft open kit for the pocket door. It makes an amazing big difference.

in a2x6 wall, throw the uprights away, and just use studs on flat

They come a long way since the 80s. I guess different manufacturers

In the video when you're attaching the furring strips, I noticed you were driving the screws in at an angle. Why?

[bigbob]

Ha ha. You forgot to mention NOT to use regular sized drywall screws on those installed furring strips. It’s the most common error made installing pocket doors. You have to use 1” screws not 1 1/4”. Or you destroy the door the first time it closes. 🫤

How do you know what size door to hang? Should it be just the size of the opening? Or can it be 1-2” wider?

How do you fix this of it comes off the track later down the line after all is finished and covered up.

Question, how to install 2 pocket doors side by side, that mirror open?

[AofFL]

I have a question. How would you adjust after the house starts settling?

[Paulie]

This is a pain in the ass with the door in after drywall. Im experiencing it now.

Hi, my sliding door using this kit fell off. What tricks do you have to rehang the door without removing molding around the door? Thanks.

[philipzanoni]

Jamb?? Is it a kit? Do you make your own??

[zendell]

I want a pocket door, but anywhere I could put one has electric or gas through it.

[vintagehandymanproject]

In the unlikely scenario that the track need to be replaced…what you do you do?

[coolhandhai]

Tracks need to be spray painted black before installing.

Question.... I have a pocket door that's already installed, but after taking it all apart, less the drywall, I found a screw missing in the back rail and when it closes, the track bends and the door hits the floor towards the back. What's the best way to replace the screw without cutting into the drywall to access it, if any? Thanks

[turtleturtle]

Are pocket doors available for 2x6 walls? Can pocket doors be used on a fire rated wall? Can pocket doors be used as an exterior door?

[randyrobert]

Why didn't they make a pocket door like a closet door???
A simple roller on a simple track ???
My pocket door sucks
