Pocket doors save the floor space a swing door needs, which is why 30-inch pocket doors appear in bathrooms, closets and compact apartments. But the hardware and frame details make or break them. Here is what to know before specifying.
Sizing the Opening
A 30-inch pocket door needs a rough opening roughly twice the door width plus framing. Confirm the pocket frame width and wall thickness with the builder before ordering.
Hardware Quality
The track and rollers carry the door for years, so soft-close, ball-bearing hardware is worth the small premium. Specify flush or recessed pulls, since standard knobs do not fit inside the pocket.
Core and Finish
Solid core reduces sound and feels better than hollow core. Choose a durable skin — laminate or painted MDF — for high-use rooms, and a bottom guide to stop the leaf rattling.
