Internal pocket doors across Aberdeenshire and Moray
The right door depends on the opening, the room and the way you use the garden. Here is how internal pocket doors tend to work out in practice:
Where an Aberdeenshire and Moray house has solid brick internal walls, a pocket door is still possible, but expect a new stud lining and more making good than in a timber partition.
Planning an open-plan kitchen in Aberdeenshire and Moray but still want to close it off now and then? A double pocket door gives you both.
- The door leaf can be chosen to match the other internal doors in the house, such as painted panels, oak veneer or a glazed design, so it does not look out of place.
- When the door is fully open it disappears into the wall, leaving a clear doorway that makes two connected rooms feel like one larger space.
- Soft-close dampers can slow the door in its final few centimetres in both directions, stopping it slamming shut or bouncing back out of the pocket.

Questions about internal pocket doors in Aberdeenshire and Moray
Do you fit internal pocket doors in Aberdeenshire and Moray?

Can I put a light switch on the wall with the pocket?
Not on the pocket section itself, because the door slides through that cavity and there is nowhere to run a cable or fix a back box. Switches and sockets can usually move to the other side of the doorway or to an adjoining wall. We point out any that need moving at survey, and an electrician should relocate them before the pocket frame goes in.
Do pocket doors need a floor track?
No, the pocket doors we fit hang from rollers on a top track, so the floor stays clear and level through the doorway. A small guide at the mouth of the pocket keeps the leaf running straight without a groove across the floor. That makes them easy to clean around and suitable where the same flooring runs from room to room.
How long does it take to fit a pocket door?
Fitting a pocket door typically takes one to two days, depending on whether the wall is stud or masonry and how much needs opening up. New plaster then needs time to dry before it can be decorated. We agree the order of work with you at survey so other trades, such as an electrician or decorator, can be booked around it.
