Are internal pocket doors right for your Lurgan home?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering internal pocket doors for a home in Lurgan:
Planning an open-plan kitchen in Lurgan but still want to close it off now and then? A double pocket door gives you both.
Before arranging a survey at your Lurgan home, check whether the wall beside the doorway carries radiators, sockets or pipes, because those decide whether internal pocket doors will fit.
- Privacy hook locks made for sliding leaves give a bathroom or en suite a door that locks from inside and can still be released from outside in an emergency.
- 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.
- 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.

How fitting works in Lurgan
A surveyor checks the doorway, the wall and the floor in your Lurgan 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. Lurgan 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.
Do you need approval in Lurgan?
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.

Questions about internal pocket doors in Lurgan
Do you fit internal pocket doors in Lurgan?
Yes, by arrangement. Lurgan 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.
How much wall space does a pocket door need?
A pocket door needs a length of clear wall beside the opening that is roughly the width of the door, plus a little extra for the frame. A double pocket door needs that space on both sides. The pocket section must be free of radiators, sockets, switches, pipes and cables, which is often the deciding factor in whether a particular doorway works.
Are pocket doors suitable for bathrooms?
Pocket doors work well for bathrooms and en suites, particularly small ones where a swinging door clashes with a basin or toilet. A privacy hook lock with an emergency release gives you a lockable door. Bear in mind that a pocket door does not seal as tightly as a hinged door closing against stops on all sides, so a little more sound can pass through.
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.
