In this story i ll walk you through the whole process.
Making a pocket door out of a french door.
Step 2 install the pocket door kit.
French pocket doors such as the ones pictured here allowed the homeowners to gain the best of both worlds.
Building a set of french doors involves milling many parts and some careful upfront planning.
By moving them to the far end it might provide a smooth in and out.
Be sure and remove the wood shims while you are removing the molding.
How would pocket doors ever seal since you need that space to make them slide in and out.
Or you might even consider french.
I like the suggestion someone made about sliding glass doors.
Next measure your door frame and cut the pocket door kit to size.
The pocket door frame kit comes with instructions and andy followed them exactly.
Andy had to cut off 2 inches off of the frame to make it fit into our hole.
The glass windows gave the office a sense of privacy yet still added an open feel.
And a good thought above too.
By centering the doors are you making a tripping hazard.
Trim any added door length when converting your hinged door to a barn door you may or may not need to adjust the length of the door to ensure that it slides smoothly on the railing and ground track without scraping across the floor.
