Door Axis 36 in Steel Pocket Door Frame Set with Aluminum Track

The Door Axis 36 in Steel Pocket Door Frame Set is the in-wall skeleton that lets a standard interior door disappear into the wall cavity. It serves bathrooms, pantries, closets, and tight halls where a swinging door steals floor space, and it accepts any slab up to 36 in wide and 150 lb.

The kit combines steel and wood frame members with an aluminum track and jump-proof hangers, so the door glides without derailing even after years of daily use. Split studs form the pocket while keeping drywall screws out of the door path, snap-together floor brackets and slide-in nesting members speed the framing sequence, and the hangers allow up to 5/8 in of vertical adjustment so the door can be trued to the finished opening after the wall is closed. It accepts doors up to 36 in wide, 80 in high, and 1-3/4 in thick at up to 150 lb, which covers hollow core, solid core, and glazed interior slabs alike; the door, pulls, and lock hardware are sold separately.

Included Components

• Steel and wood pocket frame member set with split studs
• Aluminum track
• Jump-proof door hangers with vertical adjustment
• Snap-together floor brackets
• Installation fasteners and hardware

Installation Notes

• Frame the rough opening before drywall: door height plus 4 in tall (84 in for an 80 in door) and about twice the door width to house both the passage and the pocket.
• This kit is not recommended for load-bearing walls; relocate bearing loads or choose a framed header design reviewed by your builder.
• Set the track dead level and the split studs plumb; a pocket door telegraphs every framing error after the wall closes.
• Keep drywall screws short at the pocket faces so they cannot score the door, and mount the door before closing the second wall face where practical.
• Use the 5/8 in hanger adjustment to true the door to the finished floor, and set the floor guide so the slab cannot rub either wall face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include the door?
No. This is the in-wall frame, track, and hardware set. Pair it with any interior slab up to 36 in wide, 80 in high, 1-3/4 in thick, and 150 lb, ordered separately.

What rough opening do I need?
Plan a rough opening 4 in taller than the door and about twice the door width, so the slab has a full pocket to retract into. The included instructions give the exact framing dimensions per door size.

Can I use it in a load-bearing wall?
It is not recommended. Pocket framing replaces the studs in the door path, so bearing walls need an engineered header design instead.

Can the door be adjusted after the wall is finished?
Yes. The hangers allow up to 5/8 in of vertical adjustment from the open edge of the pocket, so seasonal floor movement does not mean reopening drywall.
