Installed this kit today with a 36" door. Went very straightforward. However there seems to be little lateral strength in the pocket area where the two steel studs are located. The wall is not shaky, since it is attached to the floor, but the steel studs do have a little flex to them for sure.

I cut for 2/6 on the track for a 30” door but the opening is 31” is this right?

Can steel studs be cut down ? I have an I beam to fit under .

Is it possible to have soft close and open on a double 24inch pocket doors? (48 inch total opening)

These mirrored doors are impossible for one person to hang by himself. Even with a second person we were unable to hang 3 hours at it and I've had enough. Will return to box store.

My experience with purchasing the 1500 series and installation was outstanding. While I did order online I had had a couple of questions first. I contacted Johnson. They were very helpful. The videos on UA-cam were excellent for installation. The doors were packaged very well so they were not destroyed during the shipping process.

How many people ruin their kit because they think 2/8 is 28”. What’s the reasoning for the really confusing markings? Why not just make everything in inches?

Perfect! Thank you for the video, your paper instructions are lacking .

Yes, but do you have an installation video, because the instructions that come with the kit I bought from you guys, is insane. Please make an installation video.

0:44 Is 100 series track ised on a variety of pocket door frame kits? Because when you read the instructions, it refers to other series such as the 100, 1500, etc. this part of the video made me get up and go double check that the soft clothes was compatible with my 1500 HD frame. This part of the video might confuse others.

I love how UA-cam just had me watch two ads in order to watch an ad 😅

To begin, thanks to all who have commented on their experience with the Johnson Hardware product and the installation process. Reading through the comments was as valuable as watching the installation video. First, after installing my first door ( 29.5" in a 30" opening) and taking my time doing so, I conclude that I like the product and appreciate the engineering. Too be fair, two sets of hands for heavy /solid core doors helps prevent carpenter frustration during the install as distinguished from any frustration with hardware. Here are my insights: Step 1-HEADER: Once I learned that this is a "hanging system" I reinforced my header by sliding in some shims and /or 3/4" blocks between the jam-header and the rough header. Furthermore, the track screws (count your number of holes and then find that number in the bag) were longer than my 3/4 jam thickness, and so I feared they would bend the jam-header out of level as they bit into the rough header. Then when installing the track take care to position it leaving as much of an equal gap on both sides. Mine shifted, so on the pivot end I moved the pivot-lock device over just a tad by loosening the brass screw. By the way , "Pivot Door" = the hinge side in regular door installations. "Guide Door" (gets the white plastic bracket) is the one on the opening end. Step 3--MOUNTING THE HARDWARE / PIVOT BRACKETS ON THE DOOR: Using a 4" Double Square / combination square is a proper tool for this step 3. The video is good at showing the measurements for each, BUT also use the square to position it in the center with equal space above and below. Be consistent here on all three brackets. Also, before installing the pivot bracket, be sure it is on the desired side. Because I needed the pivot to be on the right-hand side, I needed to install it on the opposite side of the one shown in the video (they used a left-side pivot). Then check the orientation of the hinges if you have received partially pre-assembled doors. My hinges came oriented for a left-hand pivot, so I had to reorient them to a right-pivot position. Johnston makes this easy as the holes align perfectly. Go slowly and gently so as not to strip the screw-holes. Finally, for Step 4--Installing the bottom guide bracket (4:41) the video seems to show the tape measure extending from the track, not the header. Be more careful than I was and measure from the actual bottom of the header (above the track) so as to get an accurate measurement below to reflect the actual height of the door. One more point, but on an aesthetic detail mentioned at the end of the video. I like the idea of covering the track with some wood trim. One, strengthening the track for this "hanging technology" is a good idea. But let a bifold be a bifold. Avoid adjusting header height by bringing down the casing and ruining the lines of the room. Instead, installing a 5/8 piece of trim against the track in that 3/4 gap provides a nice reveal in relation to the jam-header instead of trying to be a new one.

hadwear product name plz

2- 11/16" is 68mm, not 78mm. See info presented at 6:20.

If the top guide just sits against the outside of the track opening, and if the pivot pin retainer is not meant to touch and therefore hold up the bottom of the door, how is the door hanging solely by the top pivot lock? Instructions written for products coming out of Asia have more intelligible instructions.

I hope u guys go to hell for making’s such a cheap plastic bendable iron base. What’s the purpose of the bottom bifold pivot if all it’s going to do is get the adjustment screw every time you turn the 🚪 door I should sue you guys for making a defective product

Why not cut metal track first?

move header cutting to beginning.

Just finished installing 2 four door sets. The supplied instructions were adequate but the video definitely helped. One error on the supplied instructions...it shows the knobs being installed on the wrong door. I should be at the hinge location, not the outer door edge. Learned the hard way. I now have 4 holes to try patch! Video shows the correct location.

Should the additional 2 inches of vertical finish height be measured from the finished floor i.e. measured from top of carpet? Or should it be measured from the bare subfloor?

Where are the millimeter sizes... much more accurate than old inch sizes

This is a wonderful drill press table. Three comments: It's nearly impossible to hold down t-tracks with 1/2 inch #6 screws, forget the removable top, the plans are 30 plus pages. Please change it to four panels per page, I suggest using cam levers for the fence. Reduce the fence height to 2.25".

Is potato good for diabetes?

It didn't come with a track

how do you get it back on the track after the bolt comes out of the door plate and there is trim covering the space used in the video to simply push it in?

As many others have commented, the printed instructions are about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. The step-by-step instructions on the video were an absolute lifesaver!

Has anyone installed this? I have some questions HELP

Yea the paper instructions are GARBAGE

waste of time

For the header height is that "door + 4.5 inches" from the sub floor or the finished floor?

Im from the philippines.. how can l order this mechanism?

I'm struggling with the placement of the hinges. Does it point towards the wall or towards the center? I have 4 panels in a 60" opening @johnsonhardware

Are the bumpers on the back of the door necessary with soft close feature?

How come there are no markings for a 34” door (2’-10”) on the universal door? You have every other size but that one…?

Why are you removing almost an inch from each side?? When you go to put the header in place it will be short won't it??

How much of a gap is there at the bottom of these types of doors?

How do you install pocket doors

Better video for trimming down Pocket door track here ua-cam.com/video/wORA2xZUMRY/v-deo.html

I bought a house with these doors. Pretty difficult to replace them...but thats probably why its a 3d model. What I found helpful is to loosen the bolt on the upper portion, put the door into it and then move the door&upper portion together to get it into the bottom. Then retighten bolt.

Video shows no floor track. Instructions for 100MP call for floor track

Excellent Video. For my installation, the height of the opening was 1/4" less than the required height. This is how I fixed it. I used a hammer and chisel to countersink the two top brackets by 1/16", so that they are flush with the top of the door. Don't countersink them any further, since it will be impossible to attach the top pivot to the track. Similarly, I countersank the bottom pivot by 1/8". The jamb bracket just grazes the bottom pivot, but it moves smoothly. If the height of the opening is more than 1/4" too short, you should use a circular saw to shave some material off the bottom of the door. I don't recommend planing; this will be diificult since the bottom of the door probably contains horizontal and vertical sections of wood.

DO NOT BUY JOHNSON PRODUCTS. It's an enormous pain in the ass to install, and then when mine broke 18 months after purchase, they would not stand behind it. This stuff is expensive CRAP. Go elsewhere. DO NOT BUY.
