Pocket Door Frame Kits with Extra Steel Studs

Add a space-saving pocket door with extra support around the wall pocket. HBP frame kits with additional galvanized steel studs are designed for home remodels and new construction.

Choose your 2 × 4 or 2 × 6 wall framing, select a single or double door, then pick your hardware option.

Start with the right measurements

Confirm your door width, height, thickness and weight, along with your wall framing and available opening.

Soft Close / Soft Open: 70 lb minimum door weight. Do not select these features for lighter doors; they will not activate the mechanism. Check the weight limit for your selected hardware before ordering.

Frame kits for 2 × 4 walls

Single pocket door options

One door, with extra steel studs for added wall support.

Double pocket door options

Two doors meeting in the center, with extra steel studs in both pockets.

Frame kits for 2 × 6 walls

Single pocket door options

One door, with extra steel studs for added wall support.

Double pocket door options

Two doors meeting in the center, with extra steel studs in both pockets.

Why choose extra steel studs?

  • More fastening points: Additional studs provide more places to secure wall finishes and plan attachments.
  • A firmer pocket wall: Added support helps reduce wall flex, particularly beside tiled areas.

Plan wall-mounted items carefully. Confirm suitable support for shelves, cabinets and other loads. Fasteners must not extend beyond the studs into the door pocket, where they could scratch or block the door.

Built for strength and smooth operation

Included with your kit

  • Extra rust-resistant galvanized steel studs for added wall support.
  • Solid wood header attached to a heavy-duty track.
  • Hardware for your selected operating option.
  • Hidden steel door guide with nylon guides, mounted behind the pocket door jambs. Options for 1 3/8- or 1 3/4-inch-thick doors.

Double-door kits also include a converging kit to join two single frames, with stops to keep the doors from passing the center.

Match the hardware to the door weight

  • 4-wheel ball-bearing hangers: up to 250 lb.
  • Soft Close / Soft Open: 70–220 lb.
  • EZ Closer: up to 170 lb.

For combined features, use the lower applicable weight limit. Confirm the specifications on the selected product page.

Order by the size of each door

Use the actual door width and height. For double doors, do not add the two door widths together.
