Better by design – installation
Sliding pocket doors have made a huge comeback in the last 10-15 years, but one of the biggest fears people have about them is that they are complicated to fit and, therefore,things can go wrong.
Enigma sliding pocket doors were designed with the biggest priority being SIMPLE to install.
Our founders, Hans, Andrew, and Harry, have been in the construction industry since they could walk. They have spent many hours frustrated on-site trying to install a product that is badly designed and difficult to install, so when confronted with this problem, they made it their mission to resolve it.
By their very nature, sliding pocket door systems are more complicated to fit than traditional hinged doors because they have more parts, and you are not just installing a door set; you are installing part of the wall.
The Enigma sliding pocket door system has been designed using the same concept as a steel stud partition system: a head and base channel and vertical studs that simply slide into these and are fixed into place.
Simply form the structural opening in your stud partition using the calculation provided. The Enigma sliding pocket door system matches a standard partition head and base channel, so no special studs are required. The head and base channels and side ‘studs’ are then cut to size to suit your opening.
The Enigma system is made from aluminum, making it very simple to cut down to size on site using a ‘chop saw’ that would already be on site. No special tools are required.
Then, very simply, the head and base channel fit to the head of the structural opening and the floor. Slide the vertical ‘studs’ provided as part of the kit, and these are fixed into place. You have your pocket installed—simple as that.
The pocket can then be drywalled along with the rest of the wall, the door fitted, and the finishing trims installed, and your installation is complete!
To make it even simpler, we can provide the Enigma sliding pocket door system pre-cut to the size you need, or even better, we can pre-assemble it for you so it really is a fit-and-forget!
