0:44 Is 100 series track ised on a variety of pocket door frame kits? Because when you read the instructions, it refers to other series such as the 100, 1500, etc. this part of the video made me get up and go double check that the soft clothes was compatible with my 1500 HD frame. This part of the video might confuse others.
The 100 track is what the 1060 works in. But the 1500 (1500PF, 1500HD, and 1500SC series) series is the full pocket door frame that uses the 100 track. So if you are looking at the instructions it lists 100PD (that is the track and hardware by itself without the frame), the 1500 (full frame for 2x4 wall that uses the 100 track), 1560 (full frame for 2x6 wall that uses the 100 track), and 1562 (full frame 2 doors going into 1 pocket for 2x6 wall that uses the 100 track).
The door plates should be 2-3/4" from the edge of the door in a pocket door application, and the actuator should be installed 2-1/4" from the rough stud in the pocket and 2-1/4" from the finished jamb in the opening side.
If you purchase the 1060 soft close by itself instead of with the frame or pocket door track and hardware you will get the instructions for pocket door and sliding bypass/wall mount sliding doors. Just make sure you look at the 2 pages for "1060 Soft close pocket" installation instead of the 2 page"1060 soft close sliding" instructions.
This video is out dated. The instructions were changed in Jan. 2019. The minimum door size to install Soft Open AND Soft Close is 24" not 28". I just received my new #1060 kit and the instructions clearly state that you can install BOTH in a 24" door. Now I ordered a second 1060 kit because I want BOTH Soft Open and Soft Close. I even went to their web site and it hasn't been updated. It still says 28" is the minimum. These people need to wake up!!! Great product though.
That is not true. The minimum door width when using this in a Johnson Pocket Door Frame, when you want both soft close and soft open, is still 28". You can see the minimum door width guide at the following link: jhusa.net/Content/Images/uploaded/Installation/Common/IN1060SP.pdf
This is NOT true. For the soft close and soft open to fit on the top of a door (for a pocket door) is 28" wide. If you have bypass doors or wall mount sliding door, then the minimum for both ways soft close and open is 24" wide. You are looking at the wrong instructions (unless you are not talking about a pocket door).

The printed instructions I received don’t match these instructions. The door hanger distance and actuator arm distance are different.
The door plates should be 2-3/4" from the edge of the door in a pocket door application, and the actuator should be installed 2-1/4" from the rough stud in the pocket and 2-1/4" from the finished jamb in the opening side.

The 24 inch minimum width is for sliding door hardware, not pocket door hardware.
I was confused as well with the paper instructions.

If you have bypass doors or wall mount sliding door, then the minimum for both ways soft close and open is 24" wide.

Is it possible to have soft close and open on a double 24inch pocket doors? (48 inch total opening)
Unfortunately, you can only soft close or soft open in one direction when using a 24" wide door in our pocket door frame.
Are the bumpers on the back of the door necessary with soft close feature?
I assume not, since the engagement happens on the track.
Yes you should use the 1513 bumper even though the actuator arm of the soft close stops the door.
