Pocket Doors
A pocket door is a sliding door that disappears, when fully open, into a compartment in the adjacent wall. Pocket doors offer both stylistic and practical benefits. They can be used for architectural effect, enhancing the decor of your living room; or in smaller spaces, like a laundry room, when there is no room for the swing of a hinged door. They slide on rollers suspended from an overhead track, although some also feature tracks or guides along the floor. Pocket doors can be made entirely of wood, or can be made out of wood with glass. Both single and double-door versions are used, depending on the width of the opening.

Sliding pocket doors were particularly common in Victorian homes to close off sitting rooms and dens. With improvement in the hardware and the growth of the market for condominiums and townhomes, there has been a resurgence of interest in this space-saving feature. When working with tight spaces, and when arranging furniture in a room, sliding pocket doors can be an economical and effective way of maximizing the space you have, whether it’s in your living room or laundry room. Common modern residential uses include bathrooms, closets, laundry or utility rooms, and home offices.
Pocket doors can drastically change the look and feel of any room in your home, especially when considering the range of designs available. For more privacy, you can opt for solid wood doors; for a more stylistic approach, pocket doors with glass offer you the ability to close off a room while still allowing it to feel open and spacious. Here at Allegheny Wood Works, any of our solid wood door designs or glass door designs can be used as a sliding pocket door. The only exception to this would be doors with applied molding or dentil shelves. We provide Johnson heavy duty pocket door hardware upon request, and can prep any door for Emtek pocket door pulls and lock sets. Hardware and door prep are additional charges.
