Pocket doors usually feel like one of those necessary evils in homes. They are convenient and valuable but often get a bad rap because homeowners frequently encounter failures, resulting in costly pocket door hardware and wall repairs This is a common complaint from homeowners as many hardware products fail which and that way they are installed, requires someone to break open the wall to access the hardware to replace, adjust or fix.
Builder Matt Risinger mentions, “common failures include doors falling off the track, plastic rollers that crack, or door tracks that aren’t perfectly level. Even the screws used in the roller carriages will back out over time because of constant use.” The worst part is that when these systems fail or screws need to be tightened, pocket door designs require breaking into the wall to do so.
