The recipe for spicing up any room is in your pocket

Add a dash of elegance to any room or entryway.  Install a door-in-the-wall with a Pocket Door Frame.

A pocket door can be installed in any room of your home.  They're especially convenient for walk-in closets, bathrooms, powder rooms, bedrooms, between a kitchen and dining room or in doorways that only need to be closed occasionally.

The Johnson Pocket Door Frame is designed to eliminate the problems traditionally associated with a door-in-the-wall.  The product has a box-shaped track and convex rails which make it impossible for the hanger wheels to jump off.  Special key hole slots allow you to remove the track easily without tearing out a wall.

There's a unique hanger-clip system which enables you to remove the door for painting or staining after the drywall and trim are in place.  The pocket door frame also has self-adjusting anchors to allow for settling without disturbing the horizontal alignment of the header and track.

To keep the frame straight and provide a rigid surface for attaching wall materials, the Johnson pocket door frame is equipped with rust-resistant, zinc-coated steel sides and back plating.  This also helps prevent drywall nails from penetrating the stud and scratching the pocket door.

You can put in a pocket door frame with basic hand tools.  Make it easy on yourself and get a ready-to-install product like the Johnson Hardware model, which comes with all hardware components, including a preassembled track and header.  All you supply is the door.
A carpenter can install the pocket door frame in about 10 minutes.  Figure a little more time for a handyman.

Accessories include a converging door kit for joining two pocket door frames, doors pulls and privacy locks.  The privacy locks fit standard pre-bored doors.  You can install them without cutting the door and invalidating the manufacturer's warranty.
