5 Easy Tips to Maximize Room Space

Interior sliding doors add style, color and privacy throughout the home. Whether you choose pocket, sliding bypass or wall-mount door hardware, they can also provide more room.  

When choosing the right door hardware, it’s important to consider which configuration you will need and to make sure you’re selecting a quality brand. For example, longtime USA manufacturer Johnson Hardware rigorously tests all its hardware for strength, durability and functionality, ensuring the doors it supports will operate smoothly each time without jumping off the tracks. The company offers styles to match virtually any interior design from farmhouse to mid-century to modern.
