The pocket door has been around for a long time and provides a good space-saving solution in a smaller area that does not properly explain the natural swing of the hinge door.
When you think of one, you might think of a closet in a small bedroom with a pocket door.
But they can also work in larger spaces: Imagine the dining room and the living room
When you host a large family dinner, the pocket door can open the space, or when only you are with the children, you can separate the room and create a feeling of intimacy.
The question is: when should you install the pocket door and whether it is worth remodeling your house, including someone I have always said this: I believe in future buildings.
This means using sustainable products and green building practices, which means keeping our planet healthy for my grandchildren --
And, as we grow older, we need to build homes that take care of us.
For most of our seniors, the ability to live independently at home is the pride of many.
I have also talked about this before: by upgrading our house and taking into account the accessibility needs of the future, you will create a house that will grow old with the homeowner.
When you grow up, think about navigating your home.
Do you have many stairs to climb many times a day? Do you have room in your main living area to maneuver a wheelchair or walker for smaller narrow areas? With one person\'s personal mobile device, it is difficult to explain the swing of the hinge door, which can provide the perfect solution to keep the room available while providing a sense of privacy.
While pocket doors can save a lot of personal space for smaller rooms and allow for more flexibility, the mechanical construction of pocket doors requires a lot of rooms that you may not be able to accommodate in your home.
If you are trying to replace the hinge door with a pocket door, the installation process will be challenging.
The pocket door actually takes twice as much space as the revolving door
Whether it is the door itself, or the wall cavity that slides into when the door is fully opened.
Do you know what is behind your wall in many cases? There may be wires, pipes or pipes that meander through the house and provide a lot of things
Utilities needed
Or the wall may be structural.
You need to know this before you try to install the pocket door.
Some of these systems cannot be destroyed.
If you like the benefits of having pocket doors at home, in general, the best time to install them is during the construction phase.
Changing the pocket door in your home is not impossible.
Your contractors can help you decide where to add them easily
Where you shouldn\'t be.
Considering the pocket doors to build the house would be cheaper than adding them later.
You can run into some common problems with the pocket door.
As time goes by, you may find that they start to stick to it, and they don\'t slide as smoothly as they should.
To a large extent, you should be able to solve many potential problems yourself.
In order to find the cause of the problem, you have to do a little detective work, but here is how you can correct the problem.
If your pocket door is blocked somewhere in the track, it may be debris or other garbage that squeezes into the passage of the door, causing it to stick together.
Remove the pocket door completely from the track and remove anything that is holding it back.
Sticky pocket doors can cause major problems.
If it is added to accommodate people with mobility issues, this is a problem when they cannot easily open the door.
Make sure the track is clean and free of dirt.
Tighten the screws that fix the track on the frame.
After you refresh the mechanism, if it still sticks together, add a little lubricant to the roller and track.
If the door itself is distorted, it is time to replace it.
The Twisted door can keep the roller sliding as smoothly as possible and can cause the door to get stuck.
Here I will call the professional to handle the installation to make sure the installation works properly.
