In this story i ll walk you through the whole process.
Making a pocket door out of a french door.
Andy had to cut off 2 inches off of the frame to make it fit into our hole.
The pocket door frame kit comes with instructions and andy followed them exactly.
I like the suggestion someone made about sliding glass doors.
Building a set of french doors involves milling many parts and some careful upfront planning.
To do this measure the door lengthwise and score a line across the bottom.
Next measure your door frame and cut the pocket door kit to size.
Since the office was somewhat confined a swinging hinged door would have made the room feel too tight.
French pocket doors such as the ones pictured here allowed the homeowners to gain the best of both worlds.
By moving them to the far end it might provide a smooth in and out.
And a good thought above too.
Step 2 install the pocket door kit.
By centering the doors are you making a tripping hazard.
How would pocket doors ever seal since you need that space to make them slide in and out.
Or you might even consider french.
Be sure and remove the wood shims while you are removing the molding.
