Since cavity sliders don't provide a door, how about showing how to prepare a solid core door and then attaching that to the frame? Every video skips over that and it would be VERY helpful. thanks!
Hi there! Thank you for your comment. To prepare your door, please check out our other installation video that will show you how to attach your mount plates and hang your door in the cavity: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4CBSdCskeg.html For further troubleshooting, please give us a call at (888) 466 0030, and we'll be happy to walk you through!
@@CavitySlidersUSA Absolutely! And please get into a vendor in RI! I had to order a kit for my house but the closest vendor was in the Boston area. Hoping a local place picks you up
I Installed mine, it works well (single closing) but to open the door is hard...like I have to do a lot of force to reengage the mechanism...any tips is a dummy door that is really, thx
Hi there! Thanks so much for your question. On page 10 of our instructions, we provide a suggested wooden jamb detail to be installed with our frame. Many commercial trim kits are also compatible with the CS Cavity Slider. For recommendations, feel free to give us a call at (888) 466 0030 or email us your door specs at info@cavitysliders.com.

I am looking to create a more solid pocket wall. So I bought your 4" wall frame kit with the intention of furring it out to 6". I plan to add 3/4 plywood to each side of the 4" frame for extra sturdiness, and then drywall over that. Any advise on how to do this, for example, how to attach the plywood so nothing warps or rattles?
Hi there! In this commercial project, it was furred out with 1/4" drywall on either side: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vi-SHnnShso.htmlsi=ZsRDj5LAwr7nW1K2&t=45 If you need further assistance you can reach out at (888) 466 0030 or email us at info@cavitysliders.com
We just recently got it installed with soft close, but opening the door is so hard, while pulling back, first it gets stuck at activator and then when you pull hard to open, it hits the back stud really hard. so disappointed.
Hi there! Thank you for your question. All of our formulas are based on installing the Cavity Slider on the subfloor. When installed per the instructions, the door will have a 1" clearance to the substrate floor. Our recommended clearance is 1/2" when the floors are installed. To achieve this with an already installed floor, you will need to trim the vertical extrusions of the pocket frame accordingly. If you need help calculating this or have any questions, please feel free to call our customer service team at (888) 466-0030 or email us at info@cavitysliders.com. :)
If my rough opening is 99 inches and the CS frame assembled height is about 99 11/16” Can I cut the vertical pieces 1 inch and still be good without having to redo the rough opening?? I bought 2 frames got lucky and one door RO was a 100” the other 99” 😅
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Our pocket frame can be cut down to size based on your Door Width and Door Height. Check out the "Sizes" tab on our CS Cavity Slider page here: www.cavitysliders.com/Products/Pocket-Frames/CS-Cavity-Slider-Pocket-Frame to see the lengths you should cut your extrusions, or you can use the formulas on the first page of our installation instructions to calculate this manually. If you have further questions, please call our customer service line at (888) 466 0030 or email us at info@cavitysliders.com, and we will be happy to troubleshoot!

Not a dumb question at all! The CS Cavity Slider Pocket Frame can be cut down on-site to fit your space. On the first page of our instructions, we provide a formula to calculate your rough opening to prep your home. From here, you can use the Extrusion Cut length formulas, also listed on the front page, to determine the length you should cut your back stud, jambs, track, slats, and fixing blocks. Check out our other assembly/installation video for more details on framing your rough opening and preparing your kitset: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4CBSdCskeg.html If you have further questions, please feel free to call us at (888) 466 0030 or email info@cavitysliders.com, and we'll be happy to assist!

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. We offer both standard and Sofstop (soft close/soft open) Carriage packs to be paired with the Cavity Slider Pocket Frame. If you are using the CS SofStop, there are minimum door width requirements depending on if you'd like your door to soft open, soft close, or both! Check out the last page of our overview brochure for the list of door widths: www.cavitysliders.com/Portals/7/PDFs/Brochures/2021/CavitySlider-PocketFrame-KitSet.pdf If you have further questions, feel free to call us at 888.466.0030.
