Pocket doors
Pocket doors that disappear into the wall when you don't need them
A pocket door slides into a cavity inside the wall, so it takes up no floor space and no wall space when open. We install new pocket doors and retrofit them into existing walls, using heavy-duty frames and smooth, soft-close tracks — and we check what is inside the wall before we cut.

The door that isn’t there
A pocket door hangs from a track inside the wall and slides into a hidden cavity — the “pocket” — when opened. There is no swing to plan around and no door leaning against the wall. That makes pocket doors a smart solution for small bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms and anywhere a swinging door collides with something.
New construction vs. retrofit
In new construction or a major remodel, pocket doors are simple to plan in. In an existing home, adding one means opening the wall beside the doorway, installing a pocket frame and header, relocating any electrical, then patching, texturing and painting the drywall. It is very doable — and we check first to be sure the wall is a good candidate.
Quality hardware makes the difference
Most pocket door complaints come from flimsy frames and cheap tracks. We use heavy-duty, steel-reinforced frames that keep the pocket straight, smooth, anti-jump track systems, and soft-close options, with pulls and privacy locks designed specifically for pocket doors.
Why pocket doors
Why choose a pocket door
Reclaim space
No door swing and no door on the wall — ideal for small bathrooms, closets and hallways.
A clean look
When open, the door vanishes, leaving a clean cased opening.
Accessible
Wide pocket doors with easy-grip pulls make doorways easier for wheelchairs and walkers.
Real privacy
Unlike barn doors, pocket doors sit within the wall and close into the jamb.
Styles & configurations

Retrofit realities
Adding a pocket door to an existing wall means opening the wall on one side of the doorway. The pocket must be clear of plumbing, wiring, ductwork and structural members, and a load-bearing wall needs a properly sized header. We investigate before quoting so there are no surprises.
- The wall beside the opening must be at least as wide as the door, and free of plumbing and HVAC.
- Electrical boxes and switches in the pocket area need to be relocated.
- Load-bearing walls require a header designed for the wider opening.
- Drywall patching, texture matching and paint are part of a retrofit — we quote them up front.

Pocket Doors: frequently asked questions
Can a pocket door be added to an existing wall?
Usually, if the wall space beside the opening is clear of plumbing, ductwork and significant wiring. Load-bearing walls need a header. We check before quoting.
Do pocket doors come off the track?
Cheap hardware can. Heavy-duty frames and quality tracks with anti-jump features keep the door running smoothly.
Are pocket doors private?
Yes. They close into a jamb and can take privacy locks, making them a good choice for bathrooms.
What if a pocket door needs repair later?
Quality kits allow the door to be removed and adjusted without opening the wall.
How long does a pocket door retrofit take?
Typically one to two days, plus time for drywall compound to dry before final texture and paint.
