Buying Guide

Confirm rough opening and door size

Measure your doorway and wall cavity to match standard sizes (30–36in width, 80–84in height) so the pocket door fits without extra framing work

Choose durable material

Solid spruce offers good stability and can be finished or painted to match interiors, improving longevity compared with hollow cores

Decide if hardware is included

Some doors come with a hardware kit while others are sold as the slab only; including hardware simplifies DIY installation and reduces parts sourcing

Check pre-drilled and ready-to-assemble options

Pre-drilled or ready-to-assemble doors reduce cutting and alignment steps, saving time for less-experienced installers

Balance size and value

Larger widths (36in) increase material and hardware needs; compare pricing tiers for 30–36in options to find the best fit for your budget and opening
