So this wall that would be used for this method would have to be a 2x6 wall then right. That would give you 2.5 inch clearance for the door, unless Im missing. something.
Very cool. Thank you. I'm working on a similar idea. I'm looking to do one continuous 96" linear X 84" height pocket door. I may even be able to go up to 120" X 84" door.
That's exactly what you do with those frames 🙂. Great work! Redoing the master bedroom in my new house that has a pocket door into the bathroom and discovered that the wall that the door slides into isn't attached to much if anything. When I was removing the baseboards I found that entire section of wall is moving in and out. Clearly those guys did not throw away that frame. 😑
Right On! 🙌 Thanks! For the pocket door wall I put t&g pine and for the vanity wall I put rough sawn doug fir. I stained it black then lightly sanded it and put on a clear coat. All water base products.
Nicely done. What I'm really confused by at the moment is how to build the closing jamb. Seems so simple, but I see nothing about it online anywhere. You have a more streamlined look instead of a traditional kit, which is exactly the look I'm going for. Love your black trim detail around the edge as well. Would love a little clarity regarding the jamb details if you have the time. Thank you.
I'm a bit confused. You can't put 2x4 on each side because 2x4 is 1.5 inch thick. If you have framing on both sides of the door then you have 3" which doesn't leave room for a door when your adding it to a 2x4 wall.
Your not a builder so that's why you cannot comprehend the concept of how it works... I built my own sliding doors and didn't buy anything because I used another homemade application and my doors work like they were factory made ...
@@orlandogivens4779 Don't be ridiculous. I'm an engineer, math is math. This will not fit a standard 2x4 interior wall. That is not up for debate. I think what you mean to say is that this solution will not work in a standard interior 2x4 wall.
That's because your not a builder, I clearly saw the operation and understand that principle because I built my own sliding-doors in our home but not inside the wall as was done here because most of these walls are solid stone...
So your door is less than 1/2" thick? Or you're not using a 2x4 for the bottom and top plate? 3.5" wide 2x4. Turn the studs, each stud is 1.5" thick. So you have a .5" gap... 🤔
I built mine for absolutely free... And they work just like store brought...So y'all need to get Educated on how to be more innovative in how to be doing this sliding door operation...🤔
@@RightOnJonCrane Not only do they exist, there's a much wider range of sizes/weight ranges. They're generally called Unistruct Trolleys. They can also work with curved Unistrut sections for a light duty shop-crane.
Right On! 🙌 Here is the link to the video for making the router jigs for installing the door pulls and other hardware for a pocket door! - th-cam.com/video/PlvUWhs7f6E/w-d-xo.html
Next time do not include background music - it's especially bad because you don't have a mic, so it makes it hard to hear you. Also, instead of buying the 1560, buy the 200 series - it includes just the parts you keep, saving you money.
Right On! 🙌 Thanks for watching! I just watched it again and had no problem hearing my voice. I made this video a while back and my editing skills are getting much better. I hope you check out some of my recent videos. Yes you can buy just the track and wheels but my local lumber yard only has the 1560 kit in stock. Yes I know I can order it online. In hindsight I could have mentioned that in the video. Best wishes with your projects. 🙌
This is true artistry. Very well thought through and a fantastic finish. Love the little finishing touches. Great job man!

Can you share the link to the guide pin plate that you attached for the aluminum channel to run along? Thanks
Very cool. Thank you.

Can you please source the guide pin and bottom c-channel?
Great build and design BTW

So is your rough wall thickness the same as a 2x6? It's certainly bigger than a 2x4....
4 1/2 width typical
what size board do you have on the top header? is that a 2x4?
What material did you put on the walls I like it

They sell jamb kits.
What did you do on the left side? Where the door meets the wall when closed
Where did you purchase the bottom guide pin/plate?
He didnt. He is a machinist and made the bottom guide pin and plate himself. Its in his other video that he linked to this one.
Looks awesome Jon! 😃👍
Right On! 🙌Thanks John!
What type of door is that? Just a slab door you modified for a pocket door?
Is there a link to the track kit? The only one I see is like 260 dollars.

Here is a link depending on what size door you will be using 🚪 🙌🎃 Right On! 🙌
I’d be tempted to use steel wall studs for that.
One step ahead of you on this, when we decided to build a home I looked at the store bought kit, chuckled and walked away.
Really good work love it
Do you know if we can install locker for the pocket door? If yes, then my interior bedroom door can be a pocket door to save space.
Yes

Nice job…good idea…love the fat cutting…🖖🏻
Right On! 🙌Thanks Chuck!
You done good!
Right On! 🙌 Thanks!
How is that track
It’s great! It’s quiet and rolls smoothly. amzn.to/3SrIExq
Lol what I meant to ask is how wide is that what I would need for a 2×4 wall
tanks for sharing...
Thanks Tom! 👍🙌
didn't really show me how to build one
That's because your not a builder, I clearly saw the operation and understand that principle because I built my own sliding-doors in our home but not inside the wall as was done here because most of these walls are solid stone...
Few gallon, yard pound, bread. Yada yada

Wow! Very Nice!
You say it only cost about $150, but the Johnson kit you bought is listed at $205 on Amazon. I'm thinking you meant $350.
I built mine for absolutely free...
And they work just like store brought...So y'all need to get Educated on how to be more innovative in how to be doing this sliding door operation...🤔
Awesome
It might be cheaper to buy a unistrut and some unistrut-carriages.
Oh that’s an interesting idea! There are rolling carriages for unistrut?
@@RightOnJonCrane Not only do they exist, there's a much wider range of sizes/weight ranges. They're generally called Unistruct Trolleys.
They can also work with curved Unistrut sections for a light duty shop-crane.
@@Zaniahiononzenbei very cool! I will look those up. 🙌 Thanks.

I'm building a wet room . The entire bathroom will be a shower . What about a pocket shower door ? Can that bee done ?
Back door is actually upside down!! what the heck??
Deluxe!

But why?
👍

You know you can just buy the rail and wheels seperatly, right? No need for a complete kit…
I skipped out on the finger pulls. They just seem pretty gross, especially to the 'water closet'.
Not if you wash your hands
@@snatchios1 ...in the toilet?
@@dollybelfiore7628 no don't wash your hands in the toilet that would be a poor decision
@@snatchios1 LOL...yeah U rite! ...water closets only have a toilet... although you can buy one that sits on the tank ...but it's just cold water.
Where can I get the guide pin for the bottom of the pocket door. What brand and where did you get it?
