The 1500 Series Universal Pocket Door Frame is an easily assembled, premium quality commercial/residential kit for installing a pocket door into a 2x4 stud wall. The frame can be cut down to accept door sizes between 24 in. to 36 in. Pocket doors do not need "swing" room, saving valuable floor space while still assuring the full privacy of a standard door. All of the components are of the highest quality and durability which is why we can offer a lifetime warranty.
Johnson hardware offers a true lifetime warranty and will replace any item found defective in material or workmanship regardless of its date of purchase
Balanced three wheel tricycle hangers ensure that all wheels carry weight evenly for a lifetime of smooth operation
Precision extruded track is made of heavy-walled aluminum and guarantees that your door will not jump track
Heavy gauge all steel split studs with self-tapping drywall and jamb screws included, means no predrilling required - screw directly into metal
Galvanized steel plating resists corrosion
Pocket accepts 1" to 1-3/4" thick doors with no adaptor required
Self-adjusting floor anchors allow for settling of floor without disturbing horizontal alignment of header and track
In addition to the frame, track and hangers, kit also includes door guide, adjustment wrench and door bumper

works as expected
Instructions were good but the videos you can find online are even better. Pictures/videos say a thousand words. Added soft open and close mechanisms (purchased separately) and hung the door BEFORE installing the drywall on the second side as recommended in many videos.

The best pocket door system. Well built, made in the USA, very easy to install with lots of guides on YouTube if necessary. Highly recommended. I’m from Canada and I actually drove across the border to the nearest Home Depot to pick this up since it is so well regarded. Don’t regret the 2 hour round trip whatsoever.

Nice kit. I bought 2. Install was a breeze. The pre-marked lines for cutting them down for narrower doors were a little off, so be sure you measure and cut to your specific situation. Also, I used screws not nails as indicated in the instructions. the studs are nice and firm, and straight and the hardware seems high quality. the Directions are a little sparse if your a weekend warrior they might be confusing. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend these to somebody.

Very good pocket door. EZ to assemble and install into prepared wall. Having said that wall prep can be very complicated and time consuming. Some wall/ceiling situations may have to be professionally engineered.
As an example.....I installed the pocket door in our master bathroom. The job appeared pretty straight forward until I removed the old drywall. After the D/W was removed, it became apparent that a 7" header had to be put in and 4 holes had to be drilled to run lag bolts into the bathroom ceiling beam to support the bathroom ceiling.
One tip...... The instructions say to open the wall 2x the width of the door + 1". That is a minimum measurement. I would suggest opening the wall further, to the next wall stud. Temporarily install the pocket door. Then determine where you want to install the last stud that the door will open against.

The pocket door kit was so flexible in re sizing the frame, directions were easy to understand and the install went smoothly. Very impressed with the kit overall and my wife loves her new door with the soft close feature.
