Waterdown Repair Pocket Doors

A pocket door is a door that slides, via rollers on an overhead track, into a “pocket” in the wall on either side of it. When it’s fully open, the door completely disappears. Pocket doors were very popular in the Victorian era, but when they went out of fashion, many of the hardware manufacturers went out of business.

They are seeing a bit of a resurgence in smaller spaces, like condominiums and townhouses. A pocket door’s space saving is practical. Pocket doors do have their drawbacks though and are not the right solution for every space. Keep these things in mind if you’re weighing the decision:

• Pocket doors save valuable floor space by eliminating the room you need for traditional doors to swing.
• Because the door slides into the wall, you need to have enough clearance in the wall framing for the door(s) to fit, and you cannot put any light switches or outlets in those walls (there’s no room).
• The hardware for pocket doors is fairly stripped down, since it also must be able to clear the framing in the wall. It just allows you to slide a finger in to pull the door closed.  Double-pocket-door privacy lock sets do exist, but they are not common and can be expensive.
• The tracks and hardware in a pocket door frame are hidden, so if it needs repair or replacement, access can be very difficult.

Bur pocket doors are the perfect divider for a space. If you decided on a pocket door, call us to have them properly installed and maintained. Locksmith Waterdown is available to come to your help at any time. We offer affordable prices, we are fast and our service reliable. Call us now!
