Why choose internal pocket doors in Craigavon?
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:
Renovating a period property in Craigavon? Pocket doors can take panelled leaves that echo the existing doors, so the change looks considered rather than out of place.
In a Craigavon hallway where three or four doors open into the same small space, swapping one or two for pocket doors can stop them colliding with each other.
- Top-hung rollers carry the weight of the leaf from above, so there is no floor track to trip over, clean around or catch the vacuum cleaner on.
- Reclaims the floor area a hinged door needs to swing, which in a small bathroom or cloakroom can be the difference between fitting a vanity unit and going without.
- Flush pulls sit level with the face of the door so the leaf can slide fully into the pocket, with a small edge pull to draw it back out again.
Sunlight, glass and orientation in Craigavon
Internal glazed doors are mostly about borrowed light. In Craigavon, winter daylight lasts only around 7 h 17 min, so a glass door between a bright extension and a darker hallway or dining room can make a noticeable difference from November to February.

From survey to fitted door in Craigavon
A surveyor checks the doorway, the wall and the floor in your Craigavon home and talks through the glass or door finish. After you approve the written quote, the door is made typically 3–5 weeks after survey sign-off, depending on the door leaf and finish, and fitting usually takes 1–2 days, plus drying time before new plaster can be decorated. Craigavon is in an area we cover by arrangement: the survey is still free, and survey dates, delivery and any travel cost for delivery and fitting are confirmed in your quote before you order.
Rules for internal pocket doors in Northern Ireland
Internal door work in Northern Ireland is by arrangement. We use safety glass in glazed doors, and any alteration to a load-bearing wall needs building control approval from your district council.
Which options matter for internal pocket doors?
- Flush and edge pulls. Recessed pulls in the door face plus an edge pull, so the leaf can disappear fully into the pocket.
- Soft-close dampers. Hidden dampers in the track that ease the door to a gentle stop at each end.
- Single pocket door. One leaf sliding into one side of the wall, the usual choice for en suites and cupboards.
Questions about internal pocket doors in Craigavon
Is the price different in Craigavon?
The door price is the same as anywhere else. Because Craigavon is covered by arrangement, any travel cost for delivery and fitting is shown in your quote before you order; the survey itself is free.
Can a pocket door be fitted into an existing wall?
Yes, a pocket door can usually be fitted into an existing wall, but it involves opening up the wall beside the doorway. In a stud partition we remove the plasterboard, fit the pocket frame and board it again. In a masonry wall the usual approach is a new stud lining, and if the wall is load-bearing, forming the pocket becomes structural work that needs proper assessment and approval first.
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.
What is an internal pocket door?
An internal pocket door is an interior door that slides into a cavity built inside the wall instead of swinging on hinges. The leaf hangs from rollers on a concealed track at the top of a pocket frame, and the frame is boarded and plastered so the wall looks normal. When the door is open, only its edge and pull remain visible.
