  Stylish, elegant, and space-saving, pocket doors disappear when opened to solve space problems and ensure a clean look. The metal and wood cage that the pocket door slides into is usually installed when the walls are framed. If not, you can buy a pocket door kit, which includes all of the hardware for the door, and build it into the existing wall. If you're looking to update your style and remove a pocket door or install a new one, here's how to do it.

=====A Homeowner's Guide To Pocket Doors=====
[https://www.hunker.com/13711352/a-homeowners-guide-to-pocket-doors/ by Chris Deziel  18/6/18 hunker]
A pocket door is a style in which the door slides sideways into the wall instead of swinging on hinges. Installing a pocket door instead of a swinging one can save space in two ways. Because a pocket door slips into the wall and out of sight when open, you don't have to reserve a semi-circular space for the door to swing. And it also allows you to use the space next to the door for furniture such as a dresser or chair. People often install pocket doors in small bathrooms, bedrooms and even in cluttered living areas that need the extra floor space.

[https://www.instructables.com/Magnetic-Door-Closure-for-Pocket-Door/ by cdstudioNH AUTODESK Instructables]
We have a new house in the works. My suite is All Victorian. So I had to get an authentic Victorian pocket door for my Powder Room. I purchased it over a year ago and it has been in storage. I recently realized that as I was trimming out the pocket door for said room, that the door I purchased not only didn't have the key(I knew that when I bought it at salvage) but didn't come with the corresponding receptacle for it that would normally fit into the door jamb.

=====How to Repair a Garage Door=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/repair/how-to-repair-a-garage-door.htm by Fix-It Club howstuffworks]
Overhead garage doors, whether they roll up in sections or swing up in one piece, operate on spring tension. The door moves on metal tracks on the garage walls, and a heavy spring or springs provide the power. In most cases when the door doesn't work easily, repairs are fairly simple. Here are some helpful repair tips:
=====How to Repair Stripped Screw Holes for a Door Hinge.=====
[https://www.instructables.com/How-to-repair-stripped-screw-holes-for-a-door-hing/ by FloydimusPrime in Workshop AUTODESK Instructables]
I had tried the toothpick and glue method shown here in the past on another door in the house when something similar happened involving a gaggle of giggling teenagers.  It did not work well for me, so I decided to try a more robust method.
=====How to Repair a Hole in an Interior Door=====
[https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Repair-a-Hole-in-an-Interior-Door/ by makendo in Workshop AUTODESK Instructables]
Interior doors are usually lightweight torsion boxes made from thin sheets of MDF glued to a light wooden frame and separated by a honeycomb of cardboard. They're easily damaged, and during a recent party at our house, a couple of holes were kicked in a bathroom door.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone might have some helpful tips on how to repair this cabinet door. I tried contacting the original manufacturer but they no longer offer the style.

=====Door-Fixing Tips=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/repair/door-fixing-tips.htm by Walter Curtis howstuffworks]
If fences make for better neighbors, then doors make for happier families. But not if a door is squeaking, sticking, or giving you a hard time as you try to remove or replace it. The following are ways you can maintain doors in your home and keep them working properly despite extensive use.
=====How to Unstick a Door=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/repair/how-to-unstick-a-door.htm by Walter Curtis howstuffworks]
If there's a gap between the door and the frame opposite the binding edge, the hinges probably need adjustment. If you can't see a gap anywhere between the door and the frame and you had to slam the door to close it, the wood has probably swollen from extreme humidity. If the hinges and the wood are both in good shape, the door frame itself may be out of alignment; check the frame with a carpenters' square. Once you know the problem, you are ready to find the best home improvement
=====Fix a Door That Won't Stay Shut=====
[https://www.instructables.com/Fix-a-door-that-wont-stay-shut/ by jwystup in Workshop AUTODESK Instructables]
The apartment we live in is over 100 years old, so it has some issues. The door between the two bedrooms (we have a strange layout) had some problems last year and it would stick, now it's so far from the door frame that it's easily pushed open. It would randomly open from wind, stepping on a creaky floor board, or the dog might push his way through. Since we've designated the tiny "bedroom" as the room for smoking cigarettes, it's important that this door stays shut since I don't smoke and it's icky.

[https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-fix-a-misaligned-door-5092991 by Lee Wallender 28/10/23 the spruce]

=====How to Repair Exterior French Doors=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/repair/how-to-repair-exterior-french-doors.htm by  HowStuffWorks.com Contributors]
French doors usually connect to the outdoor deck or patio. French doors are actually made of wood panels with glass fixed in them. The wooden frame divides the glass into square or rectangular shapes. Most of the door's area is occupied by glass. Installing French doors enhances the beauty of the house, while letting in abundant sunlight. Here's how to repair your French doors.
