Mount Frame Hardware
Draw two reference chalk lines on the floor,
making sure they are even with the sides of
the framing studs.
Insert both carriers into the track BEFORE
installing header assembly.
Attach the header and track with the Nailing
boards over your desired doorway. Set the
header and track assembly on the attached
end brackets with the screws provided,
screw the end brackets to the header and
track assembly in the pre-drilled holes in the
header.
Lay down the floor plates between the chalk
lines, one approximately in the center of the
opening and the other approximately halfway
between it and the rough stud of the pocket
side, do NOT nail them in place.
Check the door thickness. When installed without modifications, this pocket door frame allows 2” (50.8 mm) of
free space for the door between the split studs. A 1-3/8” (34.93 mm) door would leave 5/16” (7.94 mm)
clearance on each side. A 1-3/4” (44.45 mm) door would leave 1/8” (3.18) clearance on each side.
Note: for additional clearance, floor plates may be cut and spread apart. Shims may also be inserted
between header assembly and split studs. Or, you can use Hager’s 9634 door adaptor kit (sold separately),
which contains shims and wider floor plates for additional clearance with 1-3/4” thick doors.
