WHAT IS A POCKET DOOR?

The Rocket Pocket door kit includes steel sections which creates the pocket and takes the place of the wall.  This then is covered by plasterboard on each side.  The track that comes with the kit allows your door to be top hung leaving the floor free of obstructions.
 

DOES THE ROCKET POCKET DOOR KIT COME WITH A DOOR?

No, but you will be able to use any of the 6 standard door sizes specified on our Buy Online page. This allows you to choose your own door and door handles to match the other doors and door handles in your house. 

The door furniture can be sourced from any ironmongers/merchants etc.
