The advent of pocket door set allows occupants of tiny abodes wanted to free up some space on their area sans the need for swinging door. This object functions as a passageway to a separate room and when privacy is not needed anymore, it disappears into a wall. The following are the steps in easy installation guide for people who wanted to do the process on a do-it-yourself scheme.
First of all, pay a visit to the hardware store and purchase an entire kit which is composed of doors, split studs, and tracks. Remember that this product comes with a plethora of styles, models, and specifications that are all manufactured to lay flat when against the wall when mounted. So it is highly advisable to read through the manufacturer's manual that comes along with the product in order to be properly guided in the installation procedures.
Before installing the revolving barrier at the entrance, prepare first the frame and the area. Carefully measure first the wall to ensure that this kind of barrier will have adequate space when installed to the wall. Make sure also that the installation project does not affect the plumbing and wiring so check that out as well.
Next, remove the drywall, sills, studs, and plates in order to attach the header making sure it is just of right size with bigger header for heavier doors. Then carefully attach the hollow metal-wrapped channel called split studs to the header and the floor. Attachment of the hanging brackets at the door's topmost portion then follows after.
When it comes to the door's frame, it is highly advisable to measure its actual face to see to it that it perfectly snaps into the rough opening. Keep the track in the same level with the frame when the nails are mounted to the frame. Make sure also that the nails and screws are of their proper placement when the dry wall is reattached.
After the frame has been properly secured into place, follow the manufacturer's manual to the letter when mounting the revolving barrier at the entrance. This process can be accomplished easier and better with the assistance of a friend particularly when the wheels are inserted into the track. Take note that the door's position is in a titled position when the sliding revolving barrier at the entrance is snapped into the roller wheel. Once done, check the door's appearance and functionality to make sure everything is in place otherwise there might be a need for the frames to be adjusted.
For the final touches, install the drywall compound; mount screws and panel adhesives to the drywall in a careful fashion. Repeat the process and add some more compound layers once the materials have already dried up. Complete the installation process by cutting and mounting the trim casing at the top portions of the revolving barrier at the entrance.
New building constructions are actually easier to install with pocket door set since studs need not be cut anymore. But the installation process feel like too much of a burden to the occupant, then it is also highly recommended to mount instead an open pocket door connected to the outside wall's interior portion. So make that move now and put some free space in your tiny den.
