Product Summary
Our pocket door frames are made in-house. All the wood used in the frame is pine. To provide strength and rigidity, two galvanized steel extrusions are incorporated into the frame construction. At the bottom of the frame, a metal plate is installed during assembly, allowing the customer to securely nail the pocket frame to the finished floor. Additionally, a rubber bumper is included so that when the door closes, it produces a soft, quiet sound. The track that supports the door is made of galvanized steel on a standard pocket door frame, while on a heavy-duty frame, it is aluminum.
Construction and Materials
The DoorWorx-Summit Pocket Door Frame is engineered for seamless integration and robust performance in pocket door installations. Designed to accommodate standard interior doors, this frame provides a sturdy and reliable structure for smooth operation.
Key construction features include:
- Heavy-duty steel components: The primary framing elements are constructed from high-gauge steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to warping or bending over time.
- Pre-drilled pilot holes: The frame is pre-drilled to facilitate easier attachment of drywall and other finishing materials, streamlining the installation process.
- Integrated lumber support: The frame incorporates integrated wood blocking or support structures where needed, providing solid anchor points for door hardware such as rollers, guides, and latches.
- Adjustable components: Certain parts of the frame may offer adjustability to accommodate minor variations in rough opening dimensions, allowing for a more precise fit.
- Rust-resistant coating: All steel components are treated with a rust-resistant coating to protect against corrosion, ensuring longevity even in humid environments.
Materials used in the construction of the DoorWorx-Summit Pocket Door Frame are selected for their strength, durability, and ease of installation:
- Galvanized Steel: The main structural members of the frame are typically made from galvanized steel, offering a strong and corrosion-resistant foundation.
- High-density wood components: Where wood is integrated for support or assembly, it is usually a high-density lumber selected for its stability and ability to hold fasteners securely.
- High-impact plastic: Some smaller components, such as wheel housings or guide mounts, may utilize high-impact plastic for smooth movement and durability.
This combination of robust steel framing and carefully selected materials results in a pocket door frame that is built to last, providing a dependable foundation for your interior door system.

The core offering provides the structural components necessary to create a concealed pocket door. The aesthetic outcome is determined by the choice of the pocket door itself and the finishing touches applied to the surrounding wall.

The stylistic expression is achieved through the selection of the door panel that travels within the frame and the hardware used to operate it. The system is designed to accommodate various door weights and sizes, further enhancing its stylistic adaptability. The focus is on providing a superior framing solution that supports a sophisticated and space-efficient door opening, allowing the homeowner or designer to dictate the final stylistic appearance through their choice of door and hardware.
