How quick can I install a pocket door?

Enigma pocket doors were designed by the founders to have an elegant but efficient finish to any development. Another key factor in the design, they wanted it to be easy to install, to help reduce the installation time on site as they understand that time is crucial. That is why, we offer a preassembled kit to keep the installation process simple, which is also our core value number 1.

Sliding pocket doors come with reems of benefits from saving space, an elegant finish and increase accessibility however, a lot of developers may go against choosing a pocket door as they are normally known for being hard and timely to install, so we have pulled together a blog to show you how easy it can be to install a pocket door and not ruining the aesthetics.

With our precut and preassembled kits, you will be able to install in 10-15mins, which will be every developers dream! If you are still unsure on how we can install so quick, read on:

We have even kept the steps nice and easy, with only 3 steps so nothing can do wrong. The 3 steps are as follow:

1. Unpack your preassembled pocket door kit, to make sure all the packaging is removed. Before you go onto the next step, make sure to wipe the tracks down to remove any dirt. If this is not done, it could lead to problems down the line with the pocket door as it could rumble and stick. To find out more, make sure to read this blog.
2. Fix the pocket door kit into the structural opening.
   
   
3. Hang your door leaf and fit your trims, the trims are to be cut on site to allow room for any tolerance required. A preassembled kit will save you over half the time to fit a pocket a door as well as providing you an accurate factory fabricated system.

The main mission for Enigma pocket doors is to keep it SIMPLE and with these quick steps, there is no other way to describe the installation process as simple. Now you have a working pocket door which will save space and maximise the value of your development and no extra time was needed. It is always important to be aware of the common problems that could arise over time using a pocket door just like anything, the wear and tear can affect it.
