Removed the old pocket door in the dining room today and put this new one in……still need to do casings paint, etc.
Looking good buddy! I really like the look of that glass.
Can’t wait to see the finished product! Looks awesome thus far!
Looks good, is it suppose to look like bamboo?
Thanls guy’s……yes its to look like bamboo, the company is Feather River, they have some nice stuff….the glass is tempered and about one inch thick, heavy mutha…..

Thanks a bunch…..
Looks good jbw!!
With that heavy of a door I’m surprised you can use it as a pocket door, are you using just a standard door track??

No…..up-graded the glides and track, its recommended for 200 LB doors, this door is at around 110 LBS so I should be fine.
good job – i was thinking about getting one too but for my guest bathroom

Thanks…..they have quite a few to pick from, choices from 5 or 6 different woods or primered ready for paint.
Just a heads up, take a sanding block (fine) and give it a quick sand then re-prime with some good primer…..the primer used on most pre-prime doors is not all that good, all in all happy with the door.
Yup that primer they use is a joke
looks great. good job!

Much appreciated…..
looking good man!
I like it!
+1 on that door choice!!
Jus did one 2 days ago myself..but boring standard panel door for closet lol
I totally agree with pre primed anything is of lack luster quality but I’ve had great outcomes from a very very light sand and good thick coat of high qaulity paint..mostly valspar or sherwin
I was jus warn of wiping any pre primed piece too much w a sponge or wet rag..will wipe primer right off:(..learned that the hard way lol
Installed the base board and casings yesterday, also decided last minute to replace the left side jamb on the pocket door, it was beat up……today I painted the trim work, tomorrow will swap out the receptacles and switches then move the furniture back in.
