With a pocket door you need not allocate space for the door to swing open. This is one of the advantages of having a pocket door and also the door slides into a pocket and it out of sight. Pocket doors were installed in the earlier days and now-a-days they are making a comeback with improvement in design so that the noise of opening and closing are reduced. It is easy to install the pocket doors in new constructions and the buildings that are renovated instead of installing it to an existing door structure. To install the pocket door you might need the width of the two doors for installing one door. This is due to the fact that it has to slide in out of sight in the open position in to the pocket. Once that space is ready you have to install the hardware according to the instruction given by the manufacturer. Paint the doors and the edges of the doors before installing it. After the framed opening is installed, install the dry wall over it.
