Pocket Door Frame Kits

The best pocket door frames utilize heavy-gauge steel construction to prevent wall bowing and ensure smooth operation over time. Hollow metal frames manufactured in 16-gauge or 12-gauge steel provide structural rigidity superior to standard wood framing. Systems offering precision welded craftsmanship, custom trim packages, kerfed profiles, and UL-labeled fire-rated options are ideal for demanding commercial construction and residential installation environments.

Pocket door frames are manufactured in steel gauge options ranging from 16 gauge to 12 gauge. This range allows specifiers and contractors to match structural strength requirements for both light commercial interior spaces and high-traffic or heavy-duty architectural doorways, ensuring stability across standard doorway and sliding pocket installations.

Yes, frames can be ordered as fully finished welded assemblies or as cut-and-notch knockdown configurations. Knockdown assemblies are suitable for job-site handling and compact shipping, while fully welded assemblies arrive pre-assembled for rapid installation where direct job-site delivery is utilized.

Yes, pocket door frame assemblies can be fabricated to standard or custom profiles. Custom manufacturing capabilities include kerfed frame profiles designed to accept specific trim, weatherstripping, or architectural casing packages, accommodating unique wall thicknesses and design criteria in commercial building construction.

Select hollow metal frame assemblies are available with UL fire-rated labels for life-safety compliance. When fire-rated doorway requirements are specified in commercial construction projects, frames are engineered and labeled to meet designated UL safety standards while maintaining the necessary sliding pocket door functionality.

Production scheduling features quick-ship service with lead times ranging from same-day to 5-day programs on select frame products, as well as standard lead times of 5 to 7 business days. Direct job-site delivery is available to ensure orders align with construction milestones.
