There are many types of pocket door hardware sold.  We have a full range of categories of pocket door hardware.

First are pocket door frame kits.  These are ready made kits, with track, rollers, wood studs wrapped in steel, and complete with other miscellaneous hardware, such as guides.  These pocket door frame kits come in a wide variety of sizes, for heights, widths, and for wall thicknesses.

The next type of pocket door hardware that we have available is our Wall Mount Pocket Hardware Kits .   With this wall mount pocket door hardware kit, the track is applied to the outside of the wall, instead of inside the wall as in a regular pocket door frame kit. This is used where there is a load bearing wall, or in circumstances where you may have concrete or block walls, or a variety of other circumstances.  Below is a piccture showing a 6 panel oak door with this hardware on a wall.

The next type of pocket door hardware that we have available is our pocket door pulls.  We have both economy priced pocket door pulls and heavy duty pocket door pulls.  These are available in a variety of materials and finishes.  They are available in solid brass, solid bronze, and wrought steel. These pocket door pulls are avaialble in both passage and privacy functions.  A passage function allows you to only open and close the doors with a pull on the side, and an edge pull built into the edge.  The privacy function gives you the same functions, with the addition of a locking part that turns for privacy, such as a bedroom or bathroom.  It is meant to shut the door securely, but not as a very secure lock. Shown below are examples of a polished brass economy passage pocket door pull and a heavy duty privacy pocket door pull.

The next type of pocket door hardware available is our Heavy Duty Mortise Pocket Door Locks.   This type of pocket door hardware is manufactured by Gruppo Romi, and has passage, privacy, and locking functions.  This is a much higher quality level of hardware, with of course a higher price.  The locking type has something called a bit key, which bends in the middle, and can be left in the door, or taken out.  Below is one  of this pocket door hardware:

Shown below here is the hardware for the mortise lock function:

How do you install a pocket door in a finished entry way? We are remodeling and would like to put two pocket doors from the master bdrm to the master bath.

Hi,

I want a door that slides into the wall which I guess is a pocket door.

But its for a bathroom, so I want it to be “dense” … solid and silent.

All hardware seems to assume it will hang from a track, but I hate the “Loose Bottom” when its done that way.

Do you have any hardware that uses a bottom track inset into the floor?

That way I get the top and bottom sealed.
