Why choose internal pocket doors in Coleraine?
Here is what to weigh up if you are considering internal pocket doors for a home in Coleraine:
Before arranging a survey at your Coleraine home, check whether the wall beside the doorway carries radiators, sockets or pipes, because those decide whether internal pocket doors will fit.
Planning an open-plan kitchen in Coleraine but still want to close it off now and then? A double pocket door gives you both.
- 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.
- 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.
Planning glass for the light in Coleraine
Internal glazed doors are mostly about borrowed light. In Coleraine, winter daylight lasts only around 7 h 08 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.

Questions about internal pocket doors in Coleraine
Can you match other doors and windows in my Coleraine home?
Usually, yes. Most aluminium and uPVC systems come in standard RAL colours and finishes, and we can quote dual colour where the inside and outside need to differ. Bring photos of existing frames to the survey.
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.
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.
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.
