ABOUT POCKET DOORS
Pocket Doors are doors which slide into the thickness of a wall. They are extremely space saving, and do not obstruct any wall space. Pocket doors need special sliding door, which is designed to be removable without damaging the wall. Pocket door systems are available for a wide range of sizes and weights of door. Pocket doors need special handles, recessed into the door, to enable the door to slide away. Small pocket doors may also be used as cupboard doors, particularly in entertainment centers.
