Bunch of armchair contractors here. I'm a licensed general contractor in two states, I've specialized in finish carpentry for the last 10 years. I. Am. Damned. Good. I can't fault this guy. I wouldn't do some things the same way, but this is gold. I remember starting out over 20 years ago. I would have given... quite a lot to have access to a video like this. Good job, dude.
What most guys don't get is that this is also a video production so it is a little crazy putting it together.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I was actually hanging a double pocket door today, and started thinking about all the filming, and editing you'd have to do, let alone sound and camera angles and all that... It's a lot!
Red Milwaukee sawzaw. Red Milwaukee sawzaw on two Cut!! Cut!!
I invented the hammer
If you don’t say do yourself
Someone needs to give you a show of your own. Knowledgeable, funny and handsome....total package.
lemme get your number. im a young man that fits that discerption
Someone might be thirsty lol
thanks for the content. we're remodeling a house and have used your videos for pretty much every project we encounter. What's great is we don't search for this channel specifically. It's just that Jeff and his son seem to come up for everything. We search plumbing, flooring, drywall...whatever...and there he is. Much appreciated!
The trick where you cut the studs and pull them out to not damage the drywall on the other side is HUGE!!!! I have textured drywall and I was able to do this with very limited repair. Amazing! I used this in my basement bathroom video on my channel.
Great Work. Its so refreshing to see someone do the job right, explain it in detail, and when encountering issues and flaws in previously done work not turn it into a opportunity to grandstand.
Your videos are never a disappointment. I always feel like it was worth the time to watch. You give great detail. Nothing left to chance.
Thanks a ton. Cheers!
"Your videos are never a disappointment."
Only if you are ignorant on the subject.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. I am looking at doing some basement finishing myself and, being a novice, appreciate your comments.
Thanks Paul, we are here to help!
I really enjoy your videos! We are new home owners and I found you before we closed on our house. I was looking up painting. All of my friends ask, "Why aren't you taping?" All I have to say is, "Because you don't need to if you know how to cut." And they stop asking questions. Looking forward to putting in a pocket door in what will be our nerd office! Thank you!
Very good instructional video! As a novice DIY , going to leave this to a pro all the same! I know now what to expect! Thanks !
I’ll admit about a year ago I was looking for a video to show me how to build a outdoor shed. I watched all 3 video from start to finish. Then every video you put out so far. For no reason really.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I am learning a ton from about 20 of your videos so far and sharing with my husband. Thanks for all the tips! 😀
Honestly I am getting to the point that I think I need to put a sign out front with your name on it as an assistant to my reno job! I watch a ton of videos but it is always yours that helps the most. You always explain every step so a novice can understand. THANK YOU!
You make my life better and give me hope for our house. Thank you. A thousand times, thank you.
What is the hardware that you used to hang the door. Would love it if you had product links in your videos :)
I like the plywood option Johnson provides so that you can strengthen the door, and hang stuff on it.
I saw one of your other videos so I subscribed. Today I wanted to see the pocket door process and typed it in the search and your vid. was 1st on the list , good job I need'nt look at any others! I love you man lol really tho I do thanks
You are, by far, my favorite resource for all my diy projects. you have no idea how much you have helped me to know what's important and what isn't. Everything is straight forward and easy to understand! keep it up - oh this is 6 years old! hah... well I guess you have kept it up!
I loved and so appreciated that you didn't smash the crap out of the wall. Your video was so amazing and clear and you never skipped any steps. I will be searching for your other DIY video's. Thanks so much, keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks Debby, Hope to hear from you soon. We answer questions so feel free! Cheers!
Great video! Do you by chance recall what brand frame and rollers this was? The click in option seems much easier to work with than the spring loaded. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this was helpful as I am about to take on a pocket door project myself.
Im at a jobsite stressing out about my first pocket door installation . Convinced myself to sit down and see what you had to say about it. Thanks boss
I like how you said, "we want to be delicate" as you were grabbing your 3 foot pry bar.
ANOTHER great video! Love your attention to detail in the work and explanation.
Very well put together video and very easy to follow along if have no experience as a carpenter. I also love the fact that you have the right tools to do the job. I think I'll subscribe to the channel, thanks a lot!
Your little tips throughout are the best part of your videos. Very useful for DIY.
Just did your trick for removing the 2x4s without disturbing the finished side of the wall. Worked like a charm!!
Thanks for making the video!
Nice work!
Me too!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Him, hey thanks for the vids :) . I didn't see the link for a pocket door kit ? Please ..thanks .
Great video. I appreciate the TLC in the surgical demolition portion. Care to share what brand you used for the pocket kit? I like the idea of being able to remove the door for maintenance without doing too much damage. Thanks
Excellent information! This is almost exactly the situation I have in a newer addition in my home. I think I finally found my solution! Goodby "curtains" -- Hello real doors!!!
Awesome video man. Thanks. So much simple information. Literally even went over the issues I have been having with taking studs out. High quality
You are the goto guy for everything. Keep on making videos. You are the best teacher I have ever run into on UA-cam. Thanks so much. You made me break my fear and now I’m finishing my basement and having tons of fun. Thanks again!
You rock! Cheers!
Great vid! If that was a load bearing wall, do you find yourself needing to brace the wall after removing bottom plate while working to complete the install?
If it’s load bearing then temporary supports should be installed before you remove the load bearing member.
great video, cant believe you've managed to leave the drywall spotless on the other side, well done
🤩 Wow! A man who is logical, methodical, conscientious, careful and takes pride in his work! The young apprentice is very lucky to have you as a mentor. It’s so nice to see someone who isn’t all ‘brute force and ignorance’. None of this, showing-off, smashing things up with a sledgehammer, stupidity. Wish I had a guy like you, to help me renovate my old, stone farmhouse….
I added this to his comments - please don't learn from this idiot :
OH MY GOD - if you thought it was structural why on earth didn't you support the head and adjacent joists - this is so unbelievable - anyone thinking they have a structural wall will do what you did! You are such an $%^£$ for putting this online as a 'how to' video... I can't believe you put this out there ... and 10 minutes 19 seconds in when you say level ... it's so far out of level it's a joke!
Buying a new construction that I need a pocket door to close off a cased opening. Builder used to offer this as an option BUT they stopped. Now after I close, I need to install a pocket door.
Your vid was helpful and some of the tips will help me at the time. Cheers!!
Another useful video. Much appreciated.
My pleasure Hugh, plenty more on the way every friday morning.
What a great video!! Awesome! I do drywall and we use 1” screws in every pocket door, just 2 B safe
Good advice, hate those backcharges!
I just bought a subscription (my first paid subscription on You Tube ever!). bc how well you walked through the installation of your pocket door!! I’m now going through all of your other videos to see what else I want to do:) lol TY!
Thanks so much for this video! After watching it I was able to install a pocket door in our small water closet over the weekend! AND was able to save the outside drywall when removing studs. That even allowed me to repurpose the studs I took out when reframing the pocket door. Excellent info, very DIY/Novice friendly. After watching this, I damn near looked like I knew what I was doing.
I will say I didnt cut the stud out with a reciprocating saw. I used my oscillator with a nail blade and went behind/above/below the studs and cut the nails, this allowed me to salvage the whole stud for reuse.
You are the master , you make it look so easy, thanks a lot for this video , PLEASE keep helping us with your advice and videos you really do a great job
Thank you!
Very good video and you respond to comments. I am installing a bath off a master bedroom. Didn't want to hurt the good drywall on the bedroom side but this helps me understand that much better and reading the other comments that you answered about construction adhesive idea to secure the old drywall. This will increase my bathroom space.
Thanks again and ignore the haters.
Always ignore the haters Louis, Good luck with your project!
Great Instructions! I watched your video and just installed 2 sets of double pocket doors and it went extremely well thanks to your tips! Do you have any tips on making the walls more stable? I anchored the frame to the concrete but the middle of the wall is still a little wobbly, I was thinking about getting some 1x4s and making another casing around the outside then adding my trim back. Do you think that will help much? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Well done, I’m trying to do the same. I have q question how thick the partition needs to be in order to fit a pocket door with its hardware? Thank you
Great video! I never seen you do anything stupid on your videos. I totally agree about that old header. It was probably what they had on hand when framing. Your sheetrock on hall ceiling on another video is genius!
Kudos ... Ur a cool dude and explain things very well!
Thanks for great advice. Excellent tutorial. Could you share the name of the pocket door manufacturer you used in the video and possibly where you sourced it? The links above don't seem to give this info.
Thanks
🙂
when you popped the studs off the sheetrock without disturbing the finish that was impressive, cuz i would of ripped the rock off and started a 2nd project
Thanks dude, anything I can do to minimize the scope of work is time and money in the bank.
That was the pocket door I used, I reused the old door in the opening, unhinged it and modified to work with the pocket door but it hangs higher, now I have to put a strip on the bottom of the door to fill the gap.
Dewayne Maiden it only happens because it was held in with nail if it was screws there would of been damaged to the walls
Dewayne Maiden 7
My walls were old school. Glued and nailed. There was no popping :)
I always like to watch your videos for any help. I don't care to watch any videos because they never explain like you and give us tips
thank you for the videos keep the good work
Love the real world, practical approach to things. Great video.
Thank you. Cheers!
Any suggestions or videos on how to go about installing a pocket door in a basement where walls are floated on the bottom?
Very nice instructional video. I feel much more confident in tackling this as a DIY project! Thank you!
Our Pleasure richard. Thanks for watching. Feel free to ask us questions if they arrive. Always available for our viewers.
Very good tips and explanation. Thanks - a new subscriber.
Glad to have you on board Brian. Sorry for the late response, I was on a 4 day holiday away from tech. Good to be back and answering everyone's questions.
This video and many others are very informative thanks for adding the do's and don'ts I want to have a pocket door on a very small bathroom in a condo do you think that is possible? There is a washer dryer hook up on one side of the wall .
You sir know your shit. Thanks. Found this very helpful. Have to install a pocket door which I have never done. This made a lot of sense
Very glad to help. Good luck with your project. And remember we are here to help if you have questions along the way. Cheers!
This is the wrong house for a simple explanation of a pocket door installation.
Good work! Handled like a true professional. Good video man! Hopefully I don’t screw my house up lol 😝
Great video. Thanks for the information. I was wondering what the name of the brand you used for the pocket door frame and track? Thanks again
Nicely done, thank you for the video.You mentioned safety. LOL where were your safety glasses? No ER trips brother, eye doctors make enough money on regular appointments. I am starting my pocket door tonight, my oldest son is now in a wheelchair and this will make it easier for him in tight space I have in my home.
Way to go Ross, what a great way to make life a bit easier Cheers!
Great video!
It must suck to have so many armchair safety officers scrutinizing your work. Most likely, they have never performed this kind of work, used power tools or any hand tools, for that matter. I agree with your approach to safety. Just a suggestion, however, to quell all the noise from others...add a disclaimer at the start of your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Greg. As I am sure you can understand there are 2 kinds of people watching these videos. Those who are looking for information and those you are looking for opportunity to reinforce their own screwed up belief systems regarding how they build what they build and the way they do it. I do tend to hear from a lot of the insecure jealous types but accept that as a part of the job. Thanks for your comment you are welcome to an opinion any time.
Home RenoVision. Hmm. You are calling people who are asking you to set the example when it comes to safety equipment "looking for opportunity to reinforce their own screwed up belief systems"? That is out in left field. Love your videos, but from your responses to comments I believe you are showing your ass. Perhaps it would be best if you stuck to the instructional videos,, and if you refuse to wear safety equipment, expect the comments you will get and just move past them to the next comment. There is no point in disrespecting people who are proposing PPE, even if you personally don't use it. However do keep in mind, despite what some comments claim, that not everyone watching your channel is experienced with and/or old enough that you shouldn't at least mention the proper PPE at the beginning of your videos.
Great video. Thanks for posting. What brand was the door frame and where can I get it?
What Pocket Door Kit did you get (model) and what are those cool click-in deals for the door! Please please let us know, ha, ha.
These comments really show what happens when a knowledgeable tradesman tries to actually teach regular people how to do things right, all the diy show watchers come out thinking they know what’s right and wrong. Trust the man, he knows what he’s doing.
Can you share a link to the pocketdoor that you used?
I would certainly make sure any structural changes where braced while I worked, or at least make sure I knew exactly what was going on with the loads from above before pulling anything apart.
I have been doing home remodeling for 23 years in most cases you should be able to determine a load bearing wall if that wall was load bearing once you remove the jack and king stud not no more for your own safety and the safety of the home built a temporary wall or walls a needed until you get the wall your working on completely framed up to code thanks for the video
Some critical comments regarding safety below. First of all great video, one of the best I've seen. Safety is a personal issue. How you take on a project is up to you. The way you work I thought was very safe, not like a bull in a china shop but controlled with the right tools for the job - there is your safety straight away. Gloves were not necessary as some suggest, if anything would more likely reduce skill level and or tactileness that could lead to possible injury defeating the object. I am a great advocate of safety glasses but I didn't see any grinders going for this job so again not totally necessary with the reciprocating saw - if using a multi tool then yes you would wear safety glasses. Anyway very clear video with a good demonstration on efficiency, safe working and alround neat, clean workmanship. Keep up the good work.
Thanks dude.
I've framed in an opening infront of our furnace for a pocket door - can you tell me what brand of door you installed here? You seem to like the mechanics of the door.
I can't remember, All I know is that is is solid wood horizontal framing and not mdf or particle board.
Great job! What brand of door & hardware did you use in this video??
Great video, very well explained!! Thank you.
Did you screw your sheetrock directly to that 1x frame that was part of that pocket door, or did you add more support framing around it?
How would this be done differently for concrete walls? Can it be done in a way so that the wall does not need to be chopped out? This is to improve wheelchair accessibility.
Thank you
Hi there...I would really like to get the same hardware for the pocket door you installed. Where did you buy the supplies? I have been trying to find the same one that you can take off easy once installed but I'm having troubles finding it.
Wanted to mention these are the kits I bought on Amazon. Johnson Hardware 1500 Soft Close Series Commercial Grade Pocket Door Frame for 2x4 Stud Wall (30 inch x 80 inch)Thanks for your help. Home Owner
Awesome I like to use a grinder with metal blade easier to control just makes sparks so only drawback
great video, your a realist! very easy to follow on instructions !
Does anyone know what brand of door kit was used in this video? There is not a link and I am unsure of how to find those wheels. I’m a 70 yr old widow DIYer and I think I can do this after watching the video. Great job! Thank you.
The large pry bar you used that looked like a wrench, what is it called? I found a universal wrecking tool that looked very similar, but I wanted to ask in case I was wrong. We put in a pocket door a year ago, but thought we should refresh our memory by watching a video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for posting!
Stanley Fu Bar
Great vid, you looked like you enjoyed that so much that you can do all the 3 bedroom doors in my space too.🤣🤓
Hi there, great video. I clicked on the link for the pocket door frame, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. Do you have an updated link or more info on the frame? Thanks!
Great video as usual. The door is installed and when the door is open , it seems to be flimsy half way up, the walls when pinched together touch the door. Is this the way it should be, a little play in the wall? We are worried about someone leaning on it accidentally.
Great Video! One question i have is in regarding to installing a pocket door in my basement. I am currently framing right now and i know i have to use pressure treated bottom plates for the walls. Do I need to be concerned with these frames being that they are on concrete?
simply install a sill plate gasket under the door frame. Cheers!
Good job man i would like to see how to finish a door jam with out casing love your videos
on the way. keep watching!
Hey, have been watching your videos for years trying to learn/motivate myself to dive into a project. So, I started a pocket door install in one of our facility bathrooms, but I am not sure its going to work. The ceiling height is about 82 inches (from inside the wall to the top of the frame, and I don't have a full 56 inches of width for the frame. The door(/frame) is 28 inches wide and 80 inches in height. Do you think its still possible to install this?
Suggestions Please! SHOWER TILE will be installed on HardieBacker or similar on ONE SIDE OF POCKET DOOR. I think instead of the little 1x6 horizontal studs seen in the video, the area could be entirely filled with a similar thickness plywood sheet. Would this be strong enough to attach the shower door Side-Mount Hinge? plywood then hardieboard, then tile.
I have done that before with great success. Cheers!
That is very clever how you left the front of the drywall in tact
Came for the door install, stayed for the comical humor. Good job
Need advise Did a new build and had to pocket door frame kits installed and all the drywall id done and painted. No trim yet! ask the contractor to fit the easy close pocket doors and he told me I have to install trim first. I am thinking that is wrong Trim goes on after doors are hung. I love all your videos and watch them a lot, Thank You
You guys have an amazing channel. Thx for sharing.
Glad you like our work. Thanks for the comment.
Any new suggestions for a kit similar to this? The one you linked is sold out and doesn't look like it will be in stock again
Great work!
Which Sliding door kit were you using?
i learn something every time I watch one of your videos, and BTW I'm an engineer and i would not do a better job than you... thanks
THank you Sam, We appreciate the comment!
Great job of installation and explanation. What is the name of that tool the ripped out the 2x4 so easily.
That is a demo bar, made by Stanley tools. Thanks for watching.
What did the electrician do with the wiring? I see now on my setup why no structure header above the pocket door. There was a partial wall from floor to ceiling at the end of the sink just outside of the pocket door to release the load - tricky, tricky.
11 minutes and 32 seconds into the video you were securing the header, and I noticed that when you took your hand off of it, the pocket door with loose. How did you secure the pocket door frame?
What pocket door kit is this? Also great video
So, shouldn’t you have shored the wall up before cutting the frame if it could’ve possibly been load bearing?
It's funny how the helper says "level" when is not🤣, great video tho very helpful 👊
Hi there, i know this is an older video but it's it possible to show how to fix a pocket door?
Thinking of tackling this project on a wall where I'm not sure is load bearing. I'm not as confident as you are to begin removing studs without the fear of having the ceiling cave in? Is that a legitimate fear? Are there any precautions I can take to support the wall as I'm installing the pocket door or should I figure out a way to provide temporary support while I do the install? Thanks!
Great, thank you 😊
I hate pocket doors!! I have one I have been fighting for years in our master bedroom.. thanks for the video. I need to do what you are doing - replace my p-door.
We have the pocket already ,but hung a new door and seems to heavy and gets stuck a lot. Is there a certain weight door we need? Or need better sliding track hardware? Specific one to recommend? Thanks!
