Frequently Asked Questions

Question

What are pocket doors and how do they work?

Pocket doors are interior doors that slide horizontally into a compartment, or "pocket," within the wall when opened, rather than swinging open like traditional hinged doors. They consist of panels that are mounted on rollers or tracks attached to the top of the door frame.

When closed, pocket doors function like any other interior door, providing privacy and separating rooms. However, when opened, they slide smoothly into the wall cavity, completely disappearing from view and allowing for maximum use of space in both rooms.

The operation of pocket doors typically involves pulling the door handle to slide the door along its track, allowing it to move smoothly into or out of the wall pocket. Some pocket doors may feature additional hardware, such as soft-close mechanisms or guides to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation.

Question

Single pocket doors or double pocket doors?

Whether to choose a single pocket door or double pocket doors depends entirely on your specific needs, preferences and the layout of your space. Here are some notable benefits of each to help you decide:

Single Pocket Doors

  • Single pocket doors are ideal for smaller rooms or narrow spaces where saving floor space is essential.
  • Installing a single pocket door typically requires less structural modification and hardware compared to double pocket doors, making it a more straightforward option.
  • Single pocket doors are generally less expensive than double pocket doors, both in terms of materials and installation costs.
  • They're perfect for use in various applications particularly in typically smaller spaces, including; bathrooms, built-in wardrobes, utility rooms, en-suites and interior doorways.

Double Pocket Doors

  • Double pocket doors provide a wider opening than single pocket doors, making them suitable for larger doorways or as a wall replacement where maximising access is important.
  • Double pocket doors can create a dramatic and open plan effect when fully opened, allowing for a much smoother transition between rooms.
  • They offer greater flexibility in terms of opening and closing options, as both doors can be operated independently or simultaneously.
  • Glass pocket door systems in particular are great for increasing (and maintaining) the amount of natural light that flows through your home.

Ultimately, the choice between single and double doors is all yours! Just choose the right door kit and your favourite internal doors and away you go.

Question

Can pocket doors be installed in existing walls?

Yes, absolutely!

Pocket doors can be installed in existing walls, but it may require some modifications to the wall structure. Retrofitting a pocket sliding door into an existing wall typically involves cutting into the wall to create space for the door to slide into when opened. 

This process will likely require removing brickwork or stud walling, relocating electrical wiring or plumbing to be able to fit a pocket door frame and hardware.

While installing a pocket door kit into an existing wall is possible, it can be more complex than installing them during the construction of a new build, where they can be consciously added to the design of the space. 

It's not always an easy job to retrofit a pocket sliding door, so it’s essential to consult with a professional installer who has experience with retrofitting pocket doors to ensure proper installation and structural integrity. Be sure to also consider factors such as the location of utilities and potential impact on adjacent rooms before moving forward with the installation.
