  A pocket door is a space-saving passage door option that fell out of style sometime in the mid-twentieth century. But as more homeowners customize their home interior, pocket doors are making a comeback. Although it seems like you need to hire a contractor to install a pocket door, motivated DIYers can get the job done themselves.

=====Craftsman Style Sliding Doors=====

I was closing part of a room in my house for use as a workshop and had to add some doors.  The two ways in were both about 47" wide so I couldn't use a 48" door and I didn't want to use a smaller door.  I built two doorways- one a 48-inch slider and one with two 24-inch doors.  The doors themselves are plain hollow-core doors with craftsman-style trim added.  The hardware is actually pocket door hardware, installed on the outside.
