Information

Pre-cut galvanized steel uprights and horizontals make up the pocket, so there is no risk of warping as you would have with wood.

Simple to use brackets screw straight onto the stud work and double as a way to position the plasterboard.

We have a Rocket Pocket door kit to fit most UK standard door sizes. You can buy a kit to fit your exact door size so there is no cutting, trimming or adjusting required to make the pocket fit. 

There is no floor track so you can continue the floor surface through the door with no threshold. It has an adjustable pocket entrance guide so you can use 35mm or 44mm door thickness.

The door brake, made from special spring steel, ensures that during normal use the door will not slam against the door post.

Our runners have carbon steel ‘sealed for life’ bearings for years of sliding pleasure.
