What’s included
- Install metal or wood stud pocket door frame kit into existing or new opening
- Set the track hardware and hang the door panel
- Adjust door rollers and guides for level, smooth travel
- Install edge pulls and flush bolt hardware
- Confirm door parks flush and doesn't rattle in the pocket
How it works
Frame the pocket
We install the split-stud pocket frame kit, making sure it's plumb and the track is level before any drywall or finishing work happens.
Hang and adjust the door
We set the door on the trolleys, adjust roller height for a level hang, and fine-tune the bottom guide so the door doesn't swing in the pocket.
Fit the hardware
We install the flush pull hardware, check the door clears the jamb at both edges, and confirm it glides without lifting off the track.
Problems we fix
- Door that falls off the track because the top rollers weren't set for the door weight
- Pocket that was framed out of plumb, causing the door to drift open or closed on its own
- Door that rattles inside the pocket because there are no edge bumpers
- Hardware that makes the door impossible to grab from inside the pocket
Pocket Door Installation in Charleston — FAQ
Can you install a pocket door in an existing wall?
Yes, but it requires opening the wall to install the pocket frame kit. This is usually a multi-step project involving drywall work after framing, which we can coordinate.
What size pocket door can you install?
We work with standard residential sizes from 24 inches to 36 inches wide. Larger custom openings require custom hardware and frame kits, which we can source.
Can pocket doors be locked?
Yes. Flush bolt locks and privacy latches are standard hardware options for pocket doors. We install the hardware you need as part of the job.
How thick does the wall need to be for a pocket door?
The pocket frame kit requires a rough opening twice the door width in the wall. A standard 2x4 wall gives enough pocket depth for doors up to 1-3/8 inches thick.
Pocket Door Installation across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
