Eclisse pocket door installation

Note: At this stag e it is important to note the importance of choosing frame of a high quality — it does not bend when the plaster board is applied.

To begin, if your frame is equipped with a ground guide, also called a door guide, install it at the bottom of the frame. As its name indicates it will allow the sliding door to slide in the straight line and thus avoid any friction or deviation of the door. You can now prepare your sliding door. Screw the brackets on each edge of the door — generally placed at 12 cm from the edges. Next, insert the two rollers into the edges of the rail and fix the bolts.

First, the two rollers are inserted into the rail of the frame. Then, install the door by interlocking the bolts in the channel with the bracket fixed to the door.

To help you position the door, you can use small wedges on the floor — so the door is at the right height and it is easier to install. When the bolt is engaged with the bracket, you can tighten the nuts with a flat key. Your door is now installed. Cut the two vertical jambs and the post at the height measured.

Use template to make 2 holes of 4 mm on each top side of the post and vertical jambs. These will fix the transom top of the jambs. Insert a brush seal into jamb groove — cut off excess with scissors.

The brush seal prevents dust from entering the frame. Glue on the jambs on each side of the frame on the side where door slides out of the pocket. The holes are positioned upwards. Fix the door post on the opposite side — the door will be closing up again it. The post can be fixed with screws of 40 mm length and 4 mm diameter or with the glue. Cut the two horizontal pieces to the width measured — one for each face side.

The eight fastening keys then will need to be inserted into the grooves at each end of the horizontal jamb. Fix the horizontal jambs. When installing a sliding pocket door, you would never want to see unpleasant cracks on the wall. Applying the plaster to the pocket is often complicated, because the plaster may fail to adhere to it and may slide or detach, resulting in defects and negatively impacting the correct sliding of the door, even after a long time.

Our mesh has micro-incisions, is very tight 25x50 mm and is laid at a slight distance from the underlying metal sheet. This solution ensures the perfect adhesion of the plaster and a better final result. Why does it protrude? To bind more easily with the wall and avoid crack along the joint. Clean and refined lines that perfectly fit to modern and design-oriented settings. The installation conditions of a frame for flush sliding doors are the same as those applied to a frame with jambs and architraves.

What characterises a flush sliding pocket door system is the presence of resin-coated integrated-structured profiles: vertical reinforced bars, the top beam and the metal door stop are pre-treated with a special resin which aids adhesion of the final finishing layer, for an impeccable finishing along the whole perimeter of the doorway.

The whole doorway perimeter is pre-treated with a special resin that aids the adhesion of the final finishing layer. The horizontal gaskets can be painted with the same finish as the wall and hide the track system from view. Sometimes, the lack of space forces to run electrical wirings on the same portion of wall that hosts the sliding pocket door counterframe.

This often requires integrating it into a false wall that add thickness to the actual wall, that paradoxically takes part of the little space we are trying to save. They allow the passage of electrical wiring where exactly the counterframe is installed and that in fact allows to have switches, sockets, thermostats and light points right close to the doorway.

All of this without hinder the correct sliding of the door panel. Have you ever tried hanging a shelf or wall units onto a wall in which a sliding pocket door slides? We advise not to do it, as the wall is not equipped to bear excessive loads. Moreover, the screws or nails could cross the frame, enter the pocket and damage the door. The frame becomes a real wall capable of withstanding the loads of shelves, paintings, handles and wall units.

Fix the bracket at the bottom of the Central Verticals with screws only for 2x6 and 2x6 Luce models. Bend the ends of the Bracers backwards through 90 degrees and locate in the positions on Central Vertical and Metal Door Post. Clean and refined lines that perfectly fit to modern and design-oriented contexts.

The installation conditions of a frame for flush sliding doors are the same as those applied to a frame with jambs and architraves. What characterises a flush sliding pocket door system is the presence of elements that are pre-coated or filled with plaster and then ready to be painted. In some cases, the lack of space forces the electrician to install an electrical system on the same wall in which a pocket door slides.

It happens more often than expected, especially in situations where all spaces are fully optimised.
