Pocket door hardware turns tight floor plans into smoother, more usable spaces by sliding a door into the wall cavity, freeing up swing clearance and reducing door conflicts. This category includes complete pocket door kits and individual components: frames/cavity sliders, aluminum tracks, adjustable hangers and ball-bearing rollers, soft-close/soft-open dampers, floor and wall guides, jamb kits, edge pulls, flush pulls, privacy locks with indicators, and stops. Quality hardware delivers a quiet, stable glide, clean sightlines, and long-term reliability for bathrooms, closets, pantries, home offices, and narrow hallways.

Key benefits include space savings, a modern look, and safer operation with soft-close dampers that prevent slamming. Look for extruded aluminum tracks, steel hangers with nylon wheels, anti-jump features, and weight ratings matched to your door (common ranges: 80–300 lb). Confirm compatibility with stud depth (2x4 or 2x6), door thickness (1-3/8 in. or 1-3/4 in.), and opening size. Single, double, and bi-parting setups are available, as well as ADA-friendly pulls with larger grip and low operating force.

Buying tips:
- Measure the rough opening and wall depth before selecting a pocket door kit.
- Choose a weight rating that exceeds the actual door weight, especially for solid-core slabs.
- Decide on passage vs privacy hardware; add a soft-close/soft-open upgrade for quiet operation.
- Select stain-grade or primed jamb kits to match your trim.
- For bathrooms or laundry rooms, consider moisture-resistant finishes.
- For rated walls, use manufacturer-approved fire-rated assemblies and verify with your local inspector.

Installation pointers:
- Plumb and square the frame; set the track perfectly level.
- Use nailer guards to protect the cavity from fasteners.
- Install the floor guide aligned to the centerline; test sliding before drywall.
- Fine-tune reveal with hanger adjustments and secure all fasteners.

Maintenance is simple: keep the track free of debris, retighten hardware annually, and replace worn rollers or guides as needed. Search terms: pocket door hardware, pocket door kit, sliding door track, cavity slider, soft-close pocket door, pocket door lock, pocket door pull.
