Making Pocket Door Installation & Maintenance Access Easy
At last, we are happy to offer a soft-open/soft-close pocket door system that delivers superior performance, great durability, and effortless pocket door installation and maintenance: the FD80 Pocket Door System.
A Fully Accessible Design: No More Breaking the Pocket Wall for Access!
The FD80 Pocket Door System is a two-track system: one track segment for the doorway opening, and one track segment for the doorway pocket, positioned in series to form a single, long track. This does require you cut the track.
What this means is that all the components are accessible from the opening. Anytime you need to make an adjustment, you simply take off the track segment from the opening section, then take your door out. All the components can then be serviced. To remove the door, simply remove the track from the opening section, which will give you complete access to the internal track. It’s that easy!
With this convenient design, the pocket door installation and maintenance problem has finally been cracked! You will no longer have to break your pocket wall, which can be a nightmare.
Elegant Soft-Open & Soft-Close Pocket Door Design Feature
The FD80 Pocket Door System has a built-in soft-open and soft-close feature. Thanks to this it is actually very easy to engage and open, unlike many pocket door systems. For a truly smooth-performing, easy to use soft-open / soft-close pocket door system that the operator won’t have to think about or fiddle with, you want the FD80.
Easy, Secure Pocket Door Installation that Doesn’t Require Future Adjustments
For the FD80 Pocket Door System, installation is both a breeze and superior to standard pocket door installation methods. Unlike traditional pocket door systems, where the triggers for the stops are fastened to the track with a set screw, these triggers are actually fastened through the track and into your header, which means that they will not move on you, and will not require any future adjustments.
Two Mounting Options Available
The FD80 Pocket Door System comes with two options on how to attach the rollers to the top of your door. There’s the surface mount option, which is the traditional way of doing a pocket door installation, where the roller bracket is surface-mounted to the top of your door. And then we also have the recess mount application, where the roller brackets are actually recessed or bored onto the top of your door, for a more clean, aesthetic look.
Specifications
The FD80 Pocket Door System has a load capacity of 176 pounds per door. The minimum door thickness required is 1-3/16”. YouTube Install Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdpwZEJtbZU
Cut the track so that the exposed section can be removed & the track hardware slid out if you’d like to have further access to the track!
