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. | A pocket door is a style in which the door slides sideways into the wall instead of swinging on hinges.

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. | |||
