Thorfun Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 our architect has specified a 2.5m wide opening with a single pocket door but I'm struggling to find anywhere online that would do pocket doors that size. this place (https://www.pocketdoorshop.co.uk/view-product/Made-to-Measure-Pocket-Doors) says it can do 2m wide. and I phoned these guys (https://www.madetomeasuredoorsuk.com/help-and-advice/view/11/bespoke-pocket-doors) and the widest they can go is 1.2m anyone have any experience of such a wide pocket door and know where I could get a price? I'm starting to think that we just get rid of the pocket door! probably save me quite a bit of money as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Why not just get a joiner to make a door that size and use say Helm track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 hmmm....so, looking at http://helm.de/page.php it would seem that they're pretty limited in the width that their tracks can go. but it has given me a few more ideas and I'll keep digging....

They do a "cut to size" option. Check out Metreel for their sliding door gear which is Helm based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I used to use Helm 600 in 6m lengths. Helm 700 for bigger jobs. BEH_0609.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a little too industrial for our liking. looking like we either reduce the size of the opening or just ditch the idea of a pocket door. but I will keep looking for solutions!

Onoff Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The Helm tracks go down to really small sizes. Helm track 300 for instance is only 35 X 40mm and tested to 170kg. It's all about how you hide the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 fair enough. I will keep it in mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Look at Coburn too. For example: https://www.coburn.co.uk/product/straightaway-250/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
