Replacing a swing door with a pocket door
My client Frank found my business on Google Search.
He checked out my website and called me.
Frank wanted to remodel the master bathroom for an handicapped person.
Part of it was, creating wider opening.
The original door was twenty eight inched wide and he wonted it to be thirty two inches wide.
He also wanted the new door to slide into the wall, also known as ‘pocket door’
Frank ordered the door from Home Dept and the pocket door kit from Johnson Hardware.
He ordered a solid core door.
The Johnson hardware can hold up to 400 pounds.

I love these pocket doors. The solid door is not only a better looking door than hollow core but just feel nicer when you open them. Great work Dov Shapira.

You have some great solutions for space and ascetic.
You always have such great solutions. I hear it's really hard to hang doors.
That's a great space saving idea!
