I reused the door and used a retro fit pocket door handle. I used a kit for the pocket door frame and slides. For the price, you may as well use the kit. They have everything you need and work pretty well. Some kits come in adjustable sizes, mine was made for the size of my door.Since I reused the door, I had to install a retrofit pocket door handle. This door has a lock on it that was installed backwards. I have a young child that we want to keep out of there, so this worked out well.

Installed a pocket door a few years back - they’re great! After a few weeks, my spouse complained it wasn’t working...right after they hung art on the wall next to the doorway. Turns out they nailed through the drywall and into the opened door locking it into place. 😂

Neither of us had a lot of experience with pocket doors so it never occurred to them. I was so focused on trying to get a good grip that little flip handle, I hadn’t even noticed the newly hung artwork and it never occurred to me “decor” could disable a door like that! We had a good laugh about it.

@diamondback2085 3 года назад

I pulled out the bumper and put in several squares of medium density foam used for ac insulation. Top to bottom. Softens the hit when opening the door. Useful if you have kids. Also made a t shaped guide for the bottom of the door as a center guide. Routed a notch into the bottom center of the door for the t glide notch into. No waver back and forth when opening and closing and illuminates the need for external guides that will mess up your paint.

Your vid helped alot. I changed two things. I made a guide and cut a notch in the bottom of the door to keep it from seating side to side. I also removed the hard rubber bumper and put 3/4inch foam from top to bottom as a stopper. The door does not slam into the frame and the guide kees my paint looking good. Even the kids can't mess it up.

I have a question though, I am new to all these remodels etc and was curious if anyone knows if you need to first obtain a permit to do this type of project or if you could just do it without obtaining one? I know usually you need permits for stuff that involves doing remodeling or renovations that might involve moving electrical or plumbing sorts but was just curious any help is appreciated! great video and thank you!

@BrentDarlington Год назад

It will depend on the building department in your city. Where I love, as long as it's not a load bearing wall, you can do it without a permit. If you don't know if it's a load bearing wall, you may need to speak to a structural engineer or call the city building department and ask them what they would recommend.
