With the recent shift to in-home schooling and working remotely, you are probably spending significantly more time in your home. Many people have taken this time to upgrade their homes, to make them more comfortable and spacious to deal with the extra traffic. 

A key solution is replacing a traditional swinging door for a space-conserving pocket door, which adds up to 14 square feet of floor space. This provides more flexibility to your furniture arrangements and offers an overall more open feel to your home.  

It’s easy to do with Johnson’s 1500HD Pocket Door Frame. Heavy-duty ball-bearing hanger wheels provide feather-touch door operation, with a rugged, jump-proof aluminum box track. ADA compliant, requires less than 5 lbs. of force to move the door.

You can use it with virtually any metal or wood door from 1”- 1 ¾” thick, up to 60” wide x 96” high. Designed for single or converging door applications with 2x4 stud walls, the wide range of sizes makes it extremely flexible for virtually any doorway in your home. Self-adjusting floor brackets compensate for any floor settling. Includes self-tapping drywall and jamb screws, as well as an adjustable door guide. For a streamlined installation, there’s an optional 2041PLBG hidden door guide kit.  

The 1500HD Pocket Door Frame is available with Johnson Soft-Close/Open hardware that ensures doors glide smoothly, quietly. This hardware is especially useful, as it helps prevent slamming and pinched fingers. 

If you need to support fixtures such as shelves, artwork or towel bars, use the available 1515-PLY pocket door frame plywood clip set. It installs easily with 5/8” thick plywood (not included) to bring strength and rigidity to the pocket wall.

Installation of the 1500HD has never been easier with our new animated 3D video. Step-by-step installation instructions enable you to install pocket doors correctly and quickly, avoid problems, and enjoy the benefits right away. Plus, the 1500HD can be installed by a handyman in about an hour!
