Interior doors (pocket doors?)

7 years ago

Are those doors pocket doors that hide in the wall when not in use? Is the kitchen meant to be completely closed off from the living space with those doors? It looks like there are gaps on the sides. I would like to create a wide opening like that with pocket doors but can't seem to find doors big enough to completely block off opening.

HI there. Yes, those are pocket doors. There are actually four doors and two tracks. So the other two doors are inside the wall. They were custom made so if you have trouble you might want to consider that. Good luck!

Hello Jennifer, Sounds like a lovely idea! For wood stain, it may be that you can just sand the doors to remove the stain. If it was painted I would have suggested a heat gun, scraper tool and sanding or Nitromors scraper tool and then wire wool, water and sanding.... Hopefully the wood stain might be a lot easier to manage! Especially if you have animals or nippers around... For the locks... It could be straightforward If you can align the rim lock and door jam so it's in line with the holes in the door.. I'm no chippy here! So maybe you might want to hire one to do it for you, it's a small job really but one you want done right.. I have a collection of old doors someone didn't want with loads of holes all over the place from previous owners....(I made them into a screen).. but I could see all the botch jobs that had taken place over many years...... : )) The box lock as they are known is a surface mount whereas other styles aren't so you may have to do a bit of filling depending on what is already in situ.. There are lots of helpful tutorials on youtube one here you might want to have a look at too..So a few ideas.. : )) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlCnfI64zgs

Single Track Bi-Passing Sliding Barn or pocket Doors

Hi there, I personally really love the look of sliding barn doors but they fit in best with certain interior styles (such as rustic), so if you feel it might be out of place in yours maybe it's best not to mix and match. With barn sliding the mechanism upon which the door opens/closes is visible as a bar above it? I've also seen this to be the case in some track bi-passing doors. To illustrate what I mean: Whereas with pocket doors, the mechanism is all hidden as it's entirely integrated into the wall. Overall I think pocket doors tend to be more discreet/less statement making. So I think it all depends on what kind of look you're going for and what will fit in with your interior best!

I see no practical reason why it can't be done, the issue might just be finding someone willing to do it, I imagine if it wasn't a fire door most would be willing to do it no question but with the regs it might be putting some off. Probably the best option is if you can get a pre made door and have a joiner customize it to fit.
