Door Installation And Repair Services

The pocket door comes in handy in a tight area where you want a door but cannot fit a swinging door. Installation of a pocket door allows for nearly 10 extra square feet of usable space as compared with a hinged door. A hinged door can be impractical in a small bathroom or a kitchen where it can block a cabinet.

If the design of your home presents a space where a hinged door would be in the way when left open, it should be considered for a pocket door. Walk-in closets, the door into the toilet/bath area of a bathroom, and walk-in pantries are all great places for pocket doors. Additionally, hinged doors used between rooms and kitchens should be replaced with pocket doors because hinged doors take up valuable wall space if swung into the dining room. They also block counters if swung into the kitchen and they interfere with refrigerators.

Pocket doors are made with various materials. Wood, steel, and glass are the most common ones. The first one is favored for its warm and cheerful vibe, while the steel provides durability and longevity. In the meantime, glass is used for a modern approach. It is sleeker and usually utilized as a room separator without blocking the source of light coming from another area. This allows the homeowners to save on energy cost. Furthermore, when the right pocket door hardware is used, people can close the door securely without even needing a locking mechanism. Categories of pocket door hardware

In certain cases, a homeowner will evaluate their floor plan and find great places to replace hinged doors with pocket doors. However, frequently they run into problems when the wall they want to put the pocket door contains a light switch, an outlet, or water pipes (like to a shower head). Special rearranging may need to be made in order to use the pocket door. For example, you may need to put the shower head at the other end of the shower or move the light switch to the other side of the doorway. But believe me, if you can eliminate an inappropriate hinged door, it will definitely be worth it in the end.
