How long something will take depends on your experience level, the time you commit to the project and lots of unknowns that will be discovered along the way.

Any door can be used as a pocket door. Look locally and online to find one you like.

Gonna give it a whirl with your guidance but can’t find the one featured in your video. Could you offer advice on where to find that same mirrored pocket door?
Thanks much!

It’s a 4 roller trolley on an aluminum I beam track. It will hold up to a 400 pound door. It also has a 5/8″ plywood clip kit to strengthen the walls. I have some that are 8 and 9 years old and work like new (with no lube on the rollers). I don’t install any other kit for my customers when I put one in from time to time. I’ve been in the trades over 40 years as a Carpenter/General Contractor. Once you put one of these in, you’ll never put anything else in. They are pricey, about $250.00 with the plywood kit but well worth the money! I put (2) in for a couple who remodeled their bathrooms in 2012 as he had MS. I suggested the pocket doors and she was hesitant because of the old pocket doors from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s. I assured her with these she’ll thank me. When I was done, she couldn’t believe how nice they were and thanked me many times as they were perfect for her husband with practically no effort to open. Substantially better than the one you see here even though it’s by Johnson and is much cheaper.
