Nylon Sliding Door Guide - Double 60, Double 60 X, Twin 60 and Single 60

A sliding pocket door is a type of door that slides into a pocket within the wall when the door is opened, saving space compared to traditional hinged doors. The door disappears completely into the wall when fully open.

Kit consists of 2 single door kits plus a jointing kit 

• 12 x support studs – galvanised steel wrapped studs prevent warping of the wall and ensure the door is fully stable in the frame 
• 2 x timber headers – track comes pre-mounted in the header for easier fitting. Aluminium track gives a smooth, quiet action 
• 1 x jointing kit – can be used to join 2 single kits together for double doors 
• 2 x pairs of door hangers – unique 3-wheel design of the ball bearing rollers gives greater stability of the door and ensures it won’t jump off the tracks 
• 2 x pairs of door guides and screws – fitted to the bottom inside opening of the frame to keep the door sliding in a straight line 
• 2 x rubber buffers – stops the door slamming into the frame on closing.  
• 6 x stud foot brackets – fitted to the support studs to enable easy and secure mounting of the stud work to the floor 
• All fixings included 

In addition to the standard kits we include a soft close device.  

This device ensures the door closes gently and quietly without slamming. The soft close feature uses a damper to slow down the door's movement as it approaches the closed position, reducing the impact and preventing it from slamming.  

These devices provide a smoother, quieter closing action and helps protect the door and its components from wear and tear. It’s particularly useful for both safety and convenience, preventing doors from closing too quickly and causing damage to the door, track, or surrounding area. 

• Space-saving: It’s ideal for small spaces where traditional hinged doors would be too bulky
• Modern aesthetics: They provide a sleek, contemporary look and can make a room feel larger
• Flexible design: Pocket doors can be used for various spaces, including bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, or between rooms
• Easy access: They glide smoothly and can be more accessible for people with mobility issues

Yes, installing a pocket door typically requires modifying the wall to create a cavity or pocket for the door to slide into.  

Depending on the space and the type of wall (e.g., drywall, plaster, or brick), you may need to remove part of the existing wall or build a new frame. 

It is possible, but it’s more challenging. Installing a pocket door in an existing wall requires careful planning and the possible removal of drywall or plaster. For load-bearing walls, it’s crucial to consult with a professional to ensure the wall can support the change.

• 6 x support studs - galvanised steel wrapped studs prevent warping of the wall and ensure the door is fully stable in the frame 
• 1 x timber header - track comes pre-mounted in the header for easier fitting. Aluminium track gives a smooth, quiet action 
• 1 x pair of door hangers - unique 3-wheel design of the ball bearing rollers gives greater stability of the door and ensures it won’t jump off the tracks 
• 1 x pair of door guides and screws - fitted to the bottom inside opening of the frame to keep the door sliding in a straight line 
• 1 x rubber buffers – stops the door slamming into the frame on closing

Kits are designed for doors 35mm to 44mm thickness width a maximum weight of 90kg.

The size of the kit depends on the dimensions of the door and the opening. Common sizes are 915mm and 1200mm wide kits. But all kits can be cut down to allow for 600mm doors. 

Measure the width and height of your door opening before purchasing the kit to ensure a proper fit. 

No, sliding pocket door kits are not intended for use as fire doors.

Yes, it’s possible to install a pocket door kit yourself if you are competent at carpentry and building skills.  

However, if you’re unsure about the wall modification or structural requirement, it may be best to employ a professional builder / carpenter. Installation can be tricky, particularly when dealing with load-bearing walls or custom framing. 

When properly installed our kits, which include quality track and rollers, sliding pocket doors should glide smoothly and quietly. 

No, they are intended for internal doors. 

No, just the components to fit and operate the door are included.

Yes, generally speaking most timber doors can be used with a pocket door kit - just be sure to check the door weight and the dimensions and ensure these match up with the kit you're buying. Our kits are designed to fit most standard UK door sizes.
