Exploring Different Pocket Door Types
Top-Hung vs. Side-Hung Pocket Doors
Top-hung Pocket Doors
Top-hung pocket doors are suspended from a track above and glide smoothly with minimal floor obstruction. These are ideal for modern homes where aesthetics and clean lines matter.
Side-hung Pocket Doors
Side-hung pocket doors, though less common, operate on a side-mounted track system and are suitable for certain wall configurations or retrofitted spaces.
When quoting your pocket door repair or replacement, we need to know if your door is top-hung or side-hung. Here are examples of side-hung pocket doors:
Material Options for Pocket Doors

Design Styles and Decorative Features
Modern pocket doors often feature flush designs, soft-close systems, and concealed hardware.
Traditional pocket doors may include raised panels, custom trim, or decorative moldings.
You can also customize your door with decorative glass, custom handles, or matching trim to suit your décor.

- The size and layout of the room
