This is without a doubt the best video on pocket door frame installation I've ever seen. Truly you are a master craftsman. Thanks for posting.

I love your videos. You take your time to explain the process and give tips on "what to look out for". Jordan does an excellent job on taking good video shots to be able to see what you're doing!!!

Thanks for the great video. I especially like the tip about thinking ahead and installing blocking before putting up drywall.

Best video on Pocket Door Installation...You were very descriptive and provided all the details, so even a first time installer; like myself can do this...thank you, much appreciated! 👍 👌

Your dad is one smart cookie! Knows a lot of detail. Pay close attention and remember the things he's teaching you. I've watched a few of your episodes and this is the one that made me subscribe!! Great reference material.

As always, very thorough demonstration, very well done 👍🙏

I am building a house. My wife and I like pocket doors, but I don't trust many people to put them in right, so I will be putting them and all my interior doors in place when the time comes. Although I have plenty of experience installing doors, I have never installed a pocket door. Your pocket door videos are just what I need to make sure I get a smooth functioning, trouble free installation. Thanks for the lessons!

That was very well explained with no frills. Love it!!

This guy explains things so good, I love you man

THIS is exactly what I need!! I have 2 of these doors/frames to install, and every other video I have found is the 1500 style. Your time and video is much appreciated! Thank you!

As a DIY person I am Going to install a pocket door into my en-suite , your video was very well done with some good tips, thank you. 👍

Best youtube pocket door tutorial handsdown! Ty!

absolutely love being able to go back and watch videos you made over 3 years ago and see how far the production and talking to the camera have come. Will be using this as reference to install my first pocket door in my master bedroom remodel! I made sure to line up that like button plumb and give it an extra click 😉

as a carpenter, this was great info...i actually installing a double, from scratch, this info is very helpful!

Hanging backerboard, to secure weight of tiles was a great idea, thanks!

best video , of the kind, I have seen after over 25 vids...thanks

Great description and explanation as to why you do what need to be done.

This is awesome… I’m doing my first house and this is the best video I have found! Thank you!

It's kind of neat going back and seeing how you got more and more comfortable in front of the camera.

I taught myself that blocking trick a few houses ago when we remodeled the bathroom. I remembered how hard it was to hang towel rods and paper holders and mirrors with those silly anchors that don't really work for heavy handed objects because we all know they tend to pull out or just make large holes etc. I used pieces of scrap 2x materials. I didn't think about using plywood though, probably because I didn't have any of that scrap at the moment and I used what was faster. I just nailed the 2x between the studs in the areas where I thought the accessories would be going and then made a note of where it was and the measurements and points to find it once the rock was up and painted. I should have made a video about it, but I was in a hurry at that time.

I'm going to put in one exactly like this: a 2/0 preformed pocket door frame. thx for the tips

You are a great teacher. I translate your info for my husband and he does the work. Thankyou🙌🙌🙌🙌

This guy is my new Yoda. Great video! Very clear and great suggestions. Like that trim tool.

I'm doing pocket doors on my second floor, this is a huge help, awesome information, thanks!

Your what we call here jack of all trades not to many people left like you. Good job buddy

Great video! Thanks for posting.

Experience always shows in the details. Great tips about adding the blocking!

Great video. Looking forward to installing pocket doors throughout my new house.

What an excellent video! Thank you for that.

So helpful andnto the point, thank you!!

Excellent video thank you! About to do this job now.

Learned so much in 16mins. Thanks guys!

Great video!

Great over view thanks!

Awesome video great job!

Well informed video. This actually helped me out a lot to do mine. Thank you.

Thank you for all of the useful tips. Two thumbs up. I think I can do this. Cheers from Montreal QC

Thanks for the video. It was great helping me install my first pocket door frame. It went well

I did a remodel for a wheelchair bound man and he wanted all pocket doors so he did not have to back up and go forward to open his doors. He also needed grab bars in a lot of places, so I framed all the walls with pocket doors with 2 X 6 and then doubled the horizontals with 1/2 plywood and then sheeted over them with 1/2 plywood on both sides. that made the pocket door walls very stiff and had full backing for any wall hung items. It also left enough space for a slim line electrical box for light switches.

Thanks! Putting one in tomorrow- this helps- especially with the blocking. Good idea

Great install and explanation. Putting one in Monday!

Great video! Thank you!

Very useful video..Thanks so much for posting!

Thank you for another awesome video

Very helpful thank you.

Well done. This is the best of the videos I have seen on this subject. It also relates to the installation I have to perform which is to attach to concrete.

Yea good video on the break down and frame specs. Everyone glosses over this. Solid vid

Love u guys. Great work all the time👍👍

More videos!!!!! This guys asome!!!!

Lots of helpful information.

This was a very helpful video I understand completely I will be installing three pocket doors tomorrow and I now feel it will be no problem thank you very much 💪🔥💪🔥💪

Great video

Really enjoy your programs. Look forward to seeing them each time. Looking for some advice. I'm trying to hang a to towl rod against a wall that backs up to the pocket door. Obviously if I put an anchor in there and screw that's too long it will scratch the door. Any advice? I'm assuming I just use a regular anchor with a shorter screw perhaps 1/2-in or 3/4 but what would you suggest.

Great video thanks

Best video I found after watching many!!

Very helpful video, thanks buddy.

thanks for the simple and easy to undersatand.

I had to install a bunch of these pocket doors in some new build homes. Wish it had gone as smoothly as this. The framers did a piss poor job so I had to fix so much crap before I could install properly. Wish I could have shown them your work!!

great job in Explaining

Thank you for the very informative video!!! I wasn't sure if there is another video showing the actual door install because i was concerned how the door was going to work with the finished flooring. Are these doors usually sized to allow clearance for the flooring or does the door need to be trimmed to clear whatever flooring is used? Thanks again!!

Fussy and neat! I bet he's never lacking for work.

it's been close to 14 years since I installed a pocket door. You did a great job refreshing my mind. Thank you!

You should put in the title that this is a Johnson Hardware 2700. I was looking all over today for some reference because I had to install one. thankfully I was able to figure it out and get it done but this video would have been a lot easier on me today if I'd have had that in the title to search. Great video by the way I really appreciate knowledge like this.

Nice job.

PHENOMENAL VIDEO. ID LOVE TO WORK WITH THIS GUY

Watched quite a few pocket door vids, urs is by far the best and most informative! Great job

Thanks.. Tomorrow I'm installing tow off those

Love to watch your videos. Question, is there an issue using a pocket door that is going to be part of a tiled shower wall? I'm assuming I will be using hardy backer

supre great job on this vid again gents ... nice demo

Thank you for helping me learn new skills ")

Does the hardware for the door come with the frame? Is the normal door height good if engineered hardwood flooring is put down over a concrete floor after the pocket door frame is installed? Awesome video for the DIYer

Loved your video Brother!!

Thank you I which to you all the blessing of life your videos are always educational and conctructive can you please make a video on how to frame a window opening as well the installation?

Whatever the brand you buy or video you watch, read the manufacturers instructions for proper installation.

What about accounting for flooring though? Like 1 inch stone. Does that add 1 1/4 with mortar to the rough frame height? I’d hate to have to cut the door bottoms after flooring installation.

Great video with very detailed info especially for a rookie DIYer like myself. Sometimes I get it right other times I have to call in a professional to fix what I screwed up. I'm going to try to install a pocket door behind the side door of my high roof cargo van as part of the conversion and I think that a preassembled frame will make the task a lot easier with my limited carpentry knowledge. Could you give me a link to where I could buy one? Looking forward to more of your videos.

will it be nuts if i use this kit on a 42x96 and do a rough opening framing on a 8 feet ceiling i understand it will be taller then 8feet and it will actually go into the attic about 4 inches , i confirmed it will land right between the rafters, any advice on why not to do it?

When they built my house they did exactly that - a screw too far and sliding the door left me a groove through the paint and timber.

Thanks for the video! Definitely helps me out since this will be mybfirst attempt at a pocket door. I was wondering, do you shim the top of the pocket door as well or is that not necessary?

Bravissimo .

Good Job Stud Pack!

Master Class .. what BoB Villa dreamed of being

This is EXACTLY the video I needed. Thanks so much. DO you have a link to the actual door you ordered by chance?

Good video. I’ll be installing one soon. Did anyone else see the spider run across the frame when he was screwing the top on?

do you have to install the pocket door on a 2x6 wall or 2x4 will do? Thx

Screws in a pocket door? When I was working for the phone company, I had to go on a call back and fix another technician's mess up. He installed a line into the bedroom, through the wall in the closet. He didn't check to see what was on the wall. The bathroom door was a pocket door, and as you said, was open/in the pocket. He drilled through the bottom of the slab, by about an inch. I learned that day not only how to replace a pocket door slab, but that it is also harder to match an older slab from HD, after 30 years hanging in the house. But in the end, the home owner, my manager and of course the other technician was pleased.

Thank you love them shoes 😂

Great video. We have a frosted glass pocket door in our master bath BUT our contractor didn't put any blocking and that's the only wall I can install a towel bar. Since I don't have blocking, do I mount the towel bar screws to the strapping? I really don't want to break the glass! Mahalo!

Thanks so much. I am an accomplished jack of many trades your instructions are the quality needed to really be good at this. Subscribing now 👍

👍

Why not put tapcon screws in the cement. I am looking to install a couple pocket doors in my house and for framing I've seen people using tapcon for the bottom plates so I assumed I could also use it with the pocket door bracket that goes into the concrete. Is that okay to do?

How did you decide what make/vendor and model of pocket door to select and purchase? Like everyone, I only want to install the pocket hole door one time and have it last a long time. Thanks.

What brand/manufacture is this pocket door frame? Looking to do something similar for the master bath. Looking at Home depot, they have some all steel frames, and wood frame (with steel tracks). Which is best?

What would be a rough opening if i want to get a 42x96 pocket door from Amazon?

get the aluminum or galvanized steel pocket doors you won't regret it. THey have a door guide that keeps the door from wobbling and they have way better rollers. The cost and effort to install a pocket door far outweighs the extra cost of the frame kit.

Bro, I just got home from work and I'm really tired so I opened a nice and cold beer drinking it enjoying your video and I really really miss my dad( pasted away already😞) you are so lucky to have your dad and the best of everything he is teaching you his excellent skills of carpentry.... my best regards for you my man. You have a new subscriber 😀😀

Great video. Need a link to your video, installing the door and adding the trim. Thank you.

What brand is that? Its comes almost pre built for you. Looks way easier then the pocket door kits I’ve used. Thanks.

Tengo problema con una instalación pues la abertura donde se desliza la hoja en el centro está cerrada y pasa apretada como la amplió en el centro gracias

I always get the everbilt and assemble my own pocket door kit. I don't trust those premade systems .
