Instrukcje instalacji

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your pocket door frame kit. It is recommended to watch the official installation video for visual guidance.

Step 1: Construct Rough Opening

Prepare the wall framing for the pocket door. The minimum height for the rough opening should be the door height plus 4-1/2 inches (114mm). The width should be 2 times the door width plus 1 inch (25mm).

Step 2: Measure for Frame Header End Brackets

Mark the position for the frame header end brackets. Set a nail at the door height plus 3/4" from the finished floor, or door height plus 1-1/2" from the sub-floor. Ensure a 1/8" gap as shown in the video.

Step 3: Snap a Chalk Line

Snap a chalk line on the floor to guide the placement of the split steel studs, ensuring proper alignment for the pocket door.

Step 4: Attach Frame Header to Rough Studs

Secure the frame header to the rough studs. Use a level to ensure the header is perfectly horizontal. If using a door size other than the standard, refer to the cutting instructions section.

Step 5: Attach Split Steel Studs

Attach the split steel studs to the frame header and secure them to the floor along the chalk line. Ensure they are plumb and evenly spaced.

Step 6: Insert Hanger Assembly and Soft Open/Close Mechanism

Insert the hanger assembly and the soft open/close mechanism into the track. Ensure the dampener is engaged for proper soft close function. Alternate wheel positions for even weight distribution.

Step 7: Apply Desired Wall Material

Once the frame is securely installed, apply your desired wall material (e.g., drywall) over the frame. Use self-tapping 1" screws for drywall (not included).

Step 8: Seal All Edges

Seal all edges of the wall material around the pocket door opening to prepare for finishing.

Step 9: Mount Door Plates and Mount Door

Attach the door plates to the top edge of your door panel, ensuring they are centered and securely fastened. Then, carefully lift and mount the door onto the hanger assembly in the track. Repeat for the other side if applicable.

Step 10: Install Finished Jambs, Split Headers, and Casing

Install the finished jambs, split headers, and casing around the pocket door opening. Use self-tapping 1-5/8" screws for finish trim (not included). Ensure a 3/16" (5mm) gap between the door and the jambs for smooth operation.

Step 11: Fasten Door Guides

Fasten the door guides to the floor at the bottom of the door opening. These guides prevent the door from swinging out of the pocket. Ensure a 3/16" (5mm) gap between the door and the guides.

Cutting Instructions for Pocket Door Frame Header

The track and wood slot kit can be cut to fit door panels from 24" to 30" wide. No cutting is needed for a 36" standard door. For other standard door sizes (24", 28", 30", 32"), cutting lines are marked on the wood header.

1. Zdejmij regulowany wspornik końcowy.
2. At the marked line for your door size, cut the wood header ONLY.
3. Turn the header assembly over and cut the metal track 1 3/8" shorter than the wood header cut.
4. Replace the adjustable end bracket on the newly cut end of the header.
5. Cut the header trim board ONLY at the proper mark. Remove the cut-off end and discard.
6. Cut the header trim board ONLY on the other side at the proper mark.

For special door sizes, calculate the rough opening width as: 2 x door width + 1". Then follow the cutting steps above, adjusting measurements accordingly.

Instrukcja obsługi

Your EaseLife Pocket Door Frame Kit features a two-way soft close mechanism. To operate, simply slide the door. As the door approaches the fully open or fully closed position, the soft close mechanism will engage, gently slowing the door and pulling it into its final position. This ensures quiet operation and prevents slamming.
