You have found a good quality pocket door kit ;that can handle the weight of your chosen door. All that is left to do is install the door. Here is how to install your pocket door. First hang some plastic sheets around the area where you will be working. Your first step is opening the wall; and that’s going to generate lots of dust but the plastic will help contain it.

Use your tape measure and mark the rough opening needed to install your new door. Be sure to make the opening a couple of inches wider and higher; than your door requires. Make your opening by holding your reciprocating at a low angle; and cut through the drywall along your markings. Once the dry-wall is removed, cut through the wall studs and remove them. The rule of thumb for frame height is 85 ¾”, however; check the instructions that came with your kit and follow them.

Install your new header so the bottom is at 85 ¾” (or the appropriate height for your kit). The hardware track is installed on the bottom of your header. Follow the directions in your kit and cut it to length with your hack saw. Next install the track ensuring it is level by placing shims where needed. For your pocket door to work properly the opening needs to be level, plumb and square.

Call for our 24-7 Locksmiths Woodstock team to help you and service the door for you. Doors are heavy and better let us handle them.
