Selected frame kit's steel pocket studs, solid-wood header, matching track and hangers, plus the hidden bottom guide. Double kits also include the joining components for the selected arrangement.

Purchase separately

Door slab and a pull or privacy lock suited to the door. Choose soft close, soft open or EZ Closer as part of the selected kit when desired; these features are not assumed in a standard kit.

Build or finish on site

Correct rough opening and surrounding wall framing, drywall, pocket-door jambs and casing, paint or stain. Check the 2 × 4 or 2 × 6 wall, door thickness and door weight before choosing a kit.

Included

For the linked Series 1 standard kit: overhead box track, two four-wheel hangers, door stop, two guides and wrench.

Purchase separately

A suitable door slab and pull, edge pull or lock. If the pocket is not already present, a frame kit may be the simpler path.

Build or verify on site

Stable pocket cavity and framing, enough clearance for the door and track, jambs and casing, and finish work. Confirm that the chosen hardware fits your door and pocket.

Included

Track only: the selected track, without hangers. Series 1 hardware bag: two hangers with plates and screws, guides, bumper and wrench, without track.

Purchase separately

The missing matching component, if replacing the complete rolling system. Series 1 and Series 2 parts must match their designated track.

Measure first

Photograph the existing track cross-section, hangers and mounting plates; record track dimensions, door size and weight. Confirm service access before replacing a concealed track.

4. Pulls, Locks & Door Prep

Choose a passage pull for a nonlocking door or a privacy lock where needed. A recessed pull lets a sliding door clear its pocket; an edge pull helps retrieve the door. Some HBP round pulls fit a standard 2 1/8-inch bore, while rectangular styles require different door prep.

Check whether the specific pull listing is sold individually or as a pair, then order enough for your door layout. Confirm the finish and door thickness before cutting or boring.

Finishing Items to Consider

Door & Trim

Choose door slabs/panels of the required size, thickness and weight. Plan pocket jambs or closet trim, casing, paint or stain, and the opening’s finished dimensions. For a privacy pocket door, check the lock's bore or mortise preparation before finishing the slab.

Floor Transition

If flooring changes at the doorway, an interior threshold may provide the transition your project needs. Measure floor heights, desired profile and clearances. A threshold is an optional project item; it is not part of the door hardware kits above.

Before You Place the Order

  1. Identify the movement: pocket, bypass, bifold, multi-fold or wall-mount.
  2. Measure: rough opening, finished opening, door width/height/thickness, actual door or panel weight, wall size and floor clearance.
  3. Count the doors: single versus double pockets, two versus four bifold panels, or the number of multi-fold pairs.
  4. Review the exact listing: select the size, operation and add-ons, then confirm the listed package contents. A photo may show optional items.
  5. List the separate work: door slabs, structure or pocket, jambs, casing, finishes, pulls or locks, and any optional threshold.
  6. For repairs: match the existing track profile and series before buying replacement parts.
