Door Needed for Pocket

[Spinny]

I need to get a flush white door to fit an Eclisse pocket, size is 826 by 2040 by 40mm thick.

 

But it will need 20mm deep channel routed out at the top, so it needs to have a substantial edge framing at the top to allow for this without weakening the door.

 

Where can I find such doors for quick delivery ?

Not that it makes a difference to your search, but the channel is at the bottom normally, so that you can insert an aluminium channel into it that guides the door. There is no stress on this channel, so most doors should be fine to be honest. Are you sure you need a channel at the top? If that's the case, could you link to the Eclisse pocket product you are using.

 

For my own doors (including my pocket door) I used ones with a 20mm solid lipping. XL Joinery Suffolk doors.

Thanks for response.

Am using Eclisse syntesis flush (no architrave) pocket door system where the running gear needs to be fitted into a 20mm channel routed into the top of the door. Have also now realised the fittings which fix into this channel also need to be screwed down into the bottom of the channel, so another 40mm or so is needed. Therefore the door needs at least 60mm...

• SYSTEM TYPE: For use with timber doors - NB.The brackets for the Syntesis Flush system require you to route a 20mm deep channel in the top of the door for the special brackets. These are then screwed into place so this requires approx. 60mm depth in total. Please ensure the top rail of the door is the correct depth or that the door core is suitable to fix into.

 

Just received from Eclisse by email... (no door supplier suggestions, just confirmation of the requirement)

Please be advised that any door leaf with thickness between 35 and 44mm ( 40mm is the best one to choose for Syntesis system as only one set of brushes available ), up to 100kg per door panel and with solid core approximately 50-70mm ( allowing hanging brackets and anti-warp profile installation ), will be compatible with our system.

OK, so you don't need solid lipping (which is more about aesthetics, to be honest), you need a "solid core door". These are typically made of solid or laminated timber on the stiles and rails and main parts, so you should be good to route your channel and screw down into it. Do a search for "solid core doors", and you should get a good selection allowing you to find something that will match the rest of your decor.
