Awesome, I love pocket doors. If there isn’t one on this it’s worth getting the cable kit to make a pair open and close simultaneously, it’s really impressive to everyone who sees them and much more functional 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Nice job , I have helped to fit a couple of set’s of this brand and found them easy to do. The polystyrene spacers are temporary while building the kit, if you can get them out after plaster boarding they do help to stop bowing when screwing the boards.

I'd be really interested to see how you trimmed the other side with the reveal. I'm fitting an eclisse door at the moment against a solid wall, but ordered the syntesis version so that I can continue the plaster right up to the opening.

Just a shame that kit doesn't have the option to link the tracks with a belt system so they open evenly from centre out. Beautifully done though 👌💪👍

@simonpaxton1078 2 жыл бұрын

Really helpful video, thanks. Just one question, did you have to pack the Eclisse frame up for your finished floor level, pressuming floor wasnt tiled when frame was installed? TIA.

@eclisseUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Simon, Packing the system up to finished floor level is best practice as it avoids any trimming of the doors, there is approximately 10-15mm of adjustment in the hanging bolts at the head of the door however if this hasn’t been done then you can reduce the door height if you needed. For more information, please contact us on 0333 5770828 or info@eclisse.co.uk and we will be more than happy to help. ECLISSE UK

Was thinking of fitting one of these! Is there anyway of fitting a light switch close to the door opening?

@mikeday4399 2 жыл бұрын

The door is tight to the frame. Possibly could if using 16mm pattress box for one light once you factor in plasterboard and plaster. Possibly. Depending on where it’s going, you could double up on the plasterboard. Probably would fit a 25mm box tho thinking about it

Nice work. Great video. Is the top rail adjustable at all? Trying to understand whether the final passage width is fixed or whether it allows some adjustment +/- a few millimetres.

Absolutely awesome. Looks really nice.. just a couple of questions. Does a soft close mechanism come with this kit? Also was there a track groove cut in the floor to help keep the doors straight when closed. Just curious as it looked like a slot cut along the floor to me.. really enjoyed the video .. all the best

Hi asif much appreciated the soft close is an extra purchase the slot we used a tile expansion trim all the best Tony 👍

@eclisseUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Asif. There is a BIAS anti-slam soft close option available for this system. The system is designed not to require any grooves or tracks to be cut into the floor and so will allow continuous flooring through the opening. ECLISSE UK

@amazing451 2 жыл бұрын

Nice looking job you've done Pete 👌 but at point 11.00 when removing the track, am I right in saying that it is screwed in the opening part and slips into clips in the internal wall. Is there no way of fitting the backstop as you're assembling the metal frame.

@jewellers 2 жыл бұрын

I fitted this same kit a while back and you can fit the stops before plaster boarding over the frame - I'd advise doing it that way and temporarily fitting the doors and getting them running nicely and stopping where you want them. It save having to take the track out.

@amazing451 2 жыл бұрын

@@jewellers Good thinking, I'd be inclined to do it the same way before covering it all in. Thanks for the advice mate.

@eclisseUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Kevin. The rear adjustable stop is pre-fitted by Eclisse and will make the door protrude from the pocket approximately 70-80mm. You would adjust the position of this stop if you wanted to change this dimension, however it wouldn’t be possible to do during installation without precise measurements being taken. ECLISSE UK

@shanedooney4683 2 жыл бұрын

Nice work! The only slight criticism i have and maybe i cant see great from the video, but because the doors have glass, when they are open you can see the metal frame inside?

@eclisseUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Shane. This can be a consideration when using glazed doors, a simple solution is to line the inside of the pockets with 2-3mm thick sheet material to hide the inside of the pocket. ECLISSE UK

@designtime3469 14 күн бұрын

If the doors where fitted correctly ie not all the way into the pocket you would not be able to see the frame.

Looked nice, however they are not supposed to disappear completely into the wall. You should see about 85mm of the door. Someone could break the fingers or your get a nice black man’s pinch! You also didn’t show how to fit the door lining or any of the brushes.
