Maximize Your Space with Stylish Interior Pocket Doors from SimplyDoors
In the world of interior design, space is often at a premium. That’s where interior pocket doors come in – a sleek, modern, and practical solution that helps you maximize your living area while adding a touch of sophistication to your home. At SimplyDoors, we offer a carefully curated selection of premium pocket doors designed to elevate your space and simplify your life.
What are Interior Pocket Doors?
Pocket doors are a type of sliding door that, when fully open, disappears into a compartment (or “pocket”) within the adjacent wall. This innovative design allows you to save valuable floor space that would otherwise be required for a traditional swinging door, making pocket doors an ideal choice for smaller rooms, closets, and ensuite bathrooms.
The Benefits of Pocket Doors
- Space-saving: By sliding into the wall, pocket doors free up the space that a swinging door would occupy, allowing for more flexible furniture placement and improved flow between rooms.
- Streamlined aesthetic: Pocket doors create a clean, minimalist look, with no visible hinges or hardware when the door is open. This seamless appearance complements a wide range of design styles, from modern and contemporary to transitional and industrial.
- Versatility: Interior pocket doors can be used in various applications, such as separating a home office from a living area, closing off a closet, or dividing an open-plan space into distinct zones.
- Accessibility: For those with limited mobility, pocket doors can be easier to operate than traditional swinging doors, as they require less effort to open and close.

Measuring for a pocket door involves three key dimensions:
- Rough Opening Width: Measure the width of the opening from stud to stud. Double the width of your door panel and add 1 inch (2.5 cm) for the rough opening width.
- Rough Opening Height: Measure the height from the finished floor to the header. Add 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) to the height of your door panel for the rough opening height.
- Pocket Depth: Measure the depth of the wall cavity to ensure there is enough space for the pocket door to slide fully open.
If you need assistance, our team at SimplyDoors is always ready to help you with measuring and selecting the perfect size pocket door for your space.
Installing a pocket door involves creating a cavity within the wall for the door to slide into when open. This process typically includes:
- Removing drywall and framing the rough opening
- Installing the pocket door frame and track
- Hanging the door and attaching the hardware
- Replacing the drywall and finishing the wall
While some homeowners with advanced DIY skills may be able to install a pocket door themselves, we generally recommend professional installation to ensure the best results. SimplyDoors offers expert installation services to guarantee a flawless fit and smooth operation of your new pocket door.
Yes, it is possible to install a pocket door in an existing wall, but it does require some demolition and reconstruction. You’ll need to remove the drywall, frame the rough opening, and reroute any electrical or plumbing lines that may be within the wall cavity. If you’re considering this option, it’s best to consult with a professional contractor or the team at SimplyDoors to assess the feasibility and cost of the project.
To keep your pocket door functioning smoothly and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Regularly clean the track and rollers to remove any dirt or debris that may impede smooth operation.
- Inspect the hardware periodically and tighten any loose screws or bolts.
- Clean the door surface according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the specific material (wood, glass, or MDF).
- Avoid hanging heavy items on the door, as this can cause strain on the track and rollers.
By following these guidelines and promptly addressing any issues, you can ensure that your pocket door provides years of convenient, trouble-free use.
