Build Your Own Pocket Door - Faster - Better - Stronger! Save Cash $$ 

This is true artistry. Very well thought through and a fantastic finish. Love the little finishing touches. Great job man!

That's exactly what you do with those frames 🙂. Great work! Redoing the master bedroom in my new house that has a pocket door into the bathroom and discovered that the wall that the door slides into isn't attached to much if anything. When I was removing the baseboards I found that entire section of wall is moving in and out. Clearly those guys did not throw away that frame. 😑

Can you please source the guide pin and bottom c-channel? Great build and design BTW

I'm gonna do this. I picked up free Ikea sliding doors that people want to get rid of all the time. $20 for the track and wheels and the wood will cost me a few bucks but that's it.

Wow! Very Nice!

Really good work love it

Looks awesome Jon! 😃👍

Thank you so much 🙏

You done good!

So this wall that would be used for this method would have to be a 2x6 wall then right. That would give you 2.5 inch clearance for the door, unless Im missing. something.

tanks for sharing...

I’d be tempted to use steel wall studs for that.

Awesome

What did you do on the left side? Where the door meets the wall when closed

Nice job…good idea…love the fat cutting…🖖🏻

Where can I get the guide pin for the bottom of the pocket door. What brand and where did you get it?

One step ahead of you on this, when we decided to build a home I looked at the store bought kit, chuckled and walked away.

What type of door is that? Just a slab door you modified for a pocket door?

Nicely done. What I'm really confused by at the moment is how to build the closing jamb. Seems so simple, but I see nothing about it online anywhere. You have a more streamlined look instead of a traditional kit, which is exactly the look I'm going for. Love your black trim detail around the edge as well. Would love a little clarity regarding the jamb details if you have the time. Thank you.

what size board do you have on the top header? is that a 2x4?

Right On! 🙌 Here is the link to the video for making the router jigs for installing the door pulls and other hardware for a pocket door! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PlvUWhs7f6E.html

So is your rough wall thickness the same as a 2x6? It's certainly bigger than a 2x4....

Do you know if we can install locker for the pocket door? If yes, then my interior bedroom door can be a pocket door to save space.

Where did you purchase the bottom guide pin/plate?

didn't really show me how to build one

Deluxe!

What material did you put on the walls I like it

Is there a link to the track kit? The only one I see is like 260 dollars.

😍😍😍 WOW🤩🤩🤩

So your door is less than 1/2" thick? Or you're not using a 2x4 for the bottom and top plate? 3.5" wide 2x4. Turn the studs, each stud is 1.5" thick. So you have a .5" gap... 🤔

You say it only cost about $150, but the Johnson kit you bought is listed at $205 on Amazon. I'm thinking you meant $350.

👍

How is that track

Back door is actually upside down!! what the heck??

I'm building a wet room . The entire bathroom will be a shower . What about a pocket shower door ? Can that bee done ?

But why?

It might be cheaper to buy a unistrut and some unistrut-carriages.

I'm a bit confused. You can't put 2x4 on each side because 2x4 is 1.5 inch thick. If you have framing on both sides of the door then you have 3" which doesn't leave room for a door when your adding it to a 2x4 wall.

You know you can just buy the rail and wheels seperatly, right? No need for a complete kit…

I skipped out on the finger pulls. They just seem pretty gross, especially to the 'water closet'.

You didn't avoid buying a door kit, which you imply when you say "Build your own." That's misleading, IMO. Thumbs down.
