- Hey Gang. Super excited to be re-visiting pocket doors on the channel. A good pocket door begins with good framing installation and we wanted to show you all of our tips and tricks on how we like to install these things to get a perfect end result. One of these doors is installed into new framing (our pantry) and the other is going inside of an old wall. These are pretty much the two situations you're going to see when installing these things so we hope we helped ya there. We also got delivered two separate door from two different manufacturers, they were different in some aspects so it was good to show the different possibilities when it comes to these things. Let us know what you think and if you have any tips when you're framing in pocket doors! Thanks for watching and we'll see ya in the next one!

I never had a dad. It would have been awesome to have had someone to work with and have the kind of relationship these guys have. It is enjoyable to experience their relationship and craftsmanship. This is one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Rotary club is a bunch of Luciferians in disguise. you are fooling no one with any sense.
@@galvanizedgnome Why you dunking on a stranger making a heart felt comment about about enjoying the craftsmanship and father son relationship in all the Stud Pack videos. Is it because a compass rose and a gear look vaguely similar? Very weird.
@@marcdavenport6987 Marc, this just goes along with all the hatred and lack of civility in our Society. I’m not going to make this about Politics either. I just pray this Country can pull itself together before it’s too late. Let’s all try to have Compassion for one another, and try to understand where the other person may be coming from, or what they are dealing with, in their lives, before passing judgment or ridicule. Thanks! Stay safe and Healthy!
👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
I guess I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?
Every time I see your screw driver bit stay in the screw, I feel that on a personal level.
One of the best remodeling channels on UA-cam, or any other network for that matter. Authentic content like this really makes UA-cam shine. I hope UA-cam never loses sight of this and remains an outlet for people with deep skill and knowledge who want to share it without the filter of producers and advertising.
Appreciate you talking about the differences between different door manufacturers. Awesome video!
Paul and Jordan, what a team you make. Your Dad makes things seem so easy to do, I'm still scratching my head how the doors will be placed in the frame. I guess I'll see it on the next video. Have a great day and remain blessed. BTW keep the video's coming!!!!!!!
That Like Button is looking a little crooked Gang! Get your laser out and make sure that sucker’s lined up!
I drove a screw into that Like button to keep it in place.
Thanks for the tip about making the two pocket door frames the same height. Like when you lined up the air registers in the ceiling... it's the details that make your work great!
I never get tired of saying it another great, informative video. On so many different levels. I notice more and more how many people comment about the great relationship you guys have. I wish I had a dad like Paul too. Getting to work with him and learning from him is just the best. This is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam. I can’t wait till you guys break 100,000 subscribers and beyond. Keep it up. 👍🏼
Hey you guys Rock I'm a contractor always learning from others. Good to see father's and sons working together and loving what they do.
Unique install with two intersecting pocket doors. Good job.
I've really been enjoying all the Stud Pack videos since I started following along to the last bathroom remodel. It's a font of knowledge and at the same time a reminder to rededicate to craftsmanship by way of preparation. One thing I really like is picking up all the subtle thinking that is going on when planning things out. Anyone can read instruction manuals, but getting insight into the potential pitfalls and heading them off ahead of time is the "apprentice experience" that keeps me coming back. In a recent video I saw you not want to repeat yourself(maybe why installing the second LVL) and instead said go look at the previous video; Please, repeat yourself. The more times we hear some of those things, the more they become clear.
Also, I've gone back and re-watched early videos and I noticed the editing style change. Your craft for making a videos has really matured. Graduating from "this will be a cool shot" to a more informative narrative arc. And the sound levels have really equalized. It is an awesome evolution. No knock on the previous videos, but the new ones are more informative and just as entertaining. It's cool to see the two crafts evolve side by side.
I have always liked pocket doors for certain applications and these 2 work out perfect here. Great detailed info here and wonder what we would do without lasers now...Lasers are money well spent and a time saver.
Outstanding video. Great information, fancy footwork, and no silly music. Well done.
Excellent. You guys are a great duo. Great balance of detail/know how and video production. This should be a number one DIY type channel. Really enjoy.
Beautifully THOROUGH video on pocket doors. I watched around 10 before installing and this was by far the most informative. Thank you so much!
This channel is awesome, love the style. Reminds me a lot of my grandfather teaching me fundamental how-to's when I used to help him with his projects. I wish I could go back but at my age now and be more help and enjoy those times. Great watch!
Thanks again for another great episode. In Europe (Denmark) a lot of our details and ways of building are different yet I learn a lot from your videos. Lots of great tips for framing and using the laser, fasteners, doing details etc.
Keep up the great work!
Recently discovered you guys, I have got to say your knowledge and craftsmanship definitely shows in these videos. Keep it up!👍🏻
I first used those anchors in the 80's. They are the best. You guys are better that all the pro improvement television productions
I grew up in an old Victorian. The pocket door on that home is QUITE substantial. Cool to see what a pocket door is made of these days. Can't wait to see what the rolling hardware is like, and if it differs between brands. Love your channel. Glad to see it growing!
I have a 1970's hardwood framed home and was going to make a similar comment. Even the sliding door in my case is solid, like an external door. Heavy and sound deadening.
Those pine framed pocket doors, and their mountings, look flimsy to me. I guess that is just the way it is these days. But I would probably want a heavy door between the laundry and the rest of the space to reduce noise.
I'm in the middle of a remodel. The pocket doors are sadly flimsy. They seem to rely on the drywall adding rigidity.
Very detailed video. Great step by step. Easy to follow. I am pretty decent with carpentry but have never seen how these go in and this was a GREAT walk thru and I will definitely be returning to this channel in the future.
Fantastic instructional video...I must say, when describe what your doing, you make me feel like I'm listening to "This Old House"....very clear with every step!
Thx frank 👍💪
Step by step as you go... I Love it. I would seriously pay for you guys to renovate my house while explaining what your doing as you go along. Great job as usual guys. A+++
As a teacher, you sir have the heart and soul of the best educators. I would love to see y’all partner up with Jeff and Max at DIY Renovision in a North meets South team up; y’all seem to have such similar personalities and philosophies.
Best home improvement channel on UA-cam I learn something new every video
Great video. I installed a pocket door in a high traffic area which once and it was real flimsy so I skinned both sides of the door frame with 3/4 ply. It really stiffened it up and allowed for longer screw penetration on the side that required cabinets.
Clear concise directions and you left nothing to chance.... best I've seen on the web. Not afraid to tackle this job now......You won me over with "Little League Baseball" for sure
Thank you for taking the time during your job to record and explain in detail the installation of the pocket doors. I very much enjoyed this video, so thumbs up. The most important thing is thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you again for not adding that ridiculous music to this video. Videos without music get an automatic thumbs up.
Always enjoy your videos!!!
Love the pocket door layout! Much better than what they had before!!
I really like the way you guys work and Paul, your explanations of what AND WHY you do what you do are great! Keep it up.
That's the most useful tutorial I have seen for installing pocket doors it addressed all the details that you run into when you're installing them
Think every newbie apprentice has installed a pocket door header backwards least once, lol, I k is I did my first time🤣
Absolutely LOVE the attention to detail and how you guys “deal” w/ old houses and “obstacles” from the way they were built back then.....you make sure it’s done “right & safe” before moving forward w/ construction. That’s great (I’ve been on projects working w/ crews that “just get things done” so can move to next....I’m sure ya know what type of houses I’m talking about😉).
So so so glad found your channel during the “quarantine” issue; as it’s been great watching you both.
Cheers✌🏻
I sure do like how you offer details about your decisions. Keep uploading. Thanx.
Whats the plan for door casing on the right side of the laundry pocket door where it meets the pantry closet door?
Great video and very insightful. Nice work guys, I’ll be watching more videos and recommending you to others!
Great Great explanations of installing the pocket doors
Honest videos. You always do a proper job. And you work on actual , real world projects. Not in a studio or contrived situation.

Thank you very much. A very much needed to watch video, I'm putting in a pocket door in my "tiny house." Thank you again.
excellent job ... this channel is getting huge!!!
I love the show. I'm a DIY homeowner and your videos have been extremely informative. Currently I'm having my kitchen remolded by a solo guy who I know does great, thorough work. The guy is backed up for months just like I'm assuming y'all are. I personally operate an online retail business. Being in operations and management, a big part of my job is understanding the value of my time along with the value of my employees time. Therefore, I don't want my accountant vacuuming my office because I pay her a premium wage for premium work. I could pay someone much less to vacuum my office. The point is, Paul has some amazing skills along with the contractor doing my kitchen. Why does it seem like a lot of contractors do all the work themselves instead of hiring more help to do the grunt work? Seems like bad time and skill management for Paul to be sweeping the floors.
Keep up the good work! I really enjoy watching the show. I've just been curious about time and skill management ever since I started working with contractors. Although I will say, it seems like roofers have it down to a science.
I appreciated this post because I really understand it, but construction on a scale of theirs probably does not get to that fine of a detail. If they were a crew of like say 10 guys who broke up into 2-man groups for separate jobs, then I could see a small team of 2-3 guys who did "grunt" work between all of the projects. In their case, it's probably a fixed rate job versus hourly rate. They aren't really losing that much to clean up. Plus, imagine the days where it's perfect weather, but they learn their materials being delivered are a day late so they lose a day. Construction has some weird flex to it that all works out in the wash.
End of day cleanup is one of the trademarks of a true professional. No reputable contractor would make a mess, and then expect someone else to clean it up. Leaving a job site clean at the end of a day goes a long way toward pleasing the customer, and provides time to organize your tools and site, so you can get right to work the next morning. The stud pack shop vac gets used often, and it’s great to see!
Not a contractor, but have friends who are. Small contractors have the challenge of too much work, or not enough. As a result they can’t keep employees around for low skill work when it is not consistent. Also this work is so varied much of it doesn’t require a skilled craftsman who would be idle part of the time if not doing something. Anyone in this business wouldn’t survive the first job if they tried to direct people only do work that fit their skill set.
@2:58 at @5:26 I'd highly recommend some Wera RapidAdapters. Life too short to constantly have to struggle with bits and screws that fall off the drill. 😁 Wera lets you change bits out and it's a one handed operation - game changer when you're holding stuff and still need to do a bit change. And the magnet works really well.
Thanks for the great video on pocket doors. I’ve never installed one and I’m about to install two of them. After watching, I feel very confident about doing it right.
Thx Matthew 👍💪
Pocket door slammed into the like button! Another awesome 📷!
I love every video you guys put together! Awesome work
Thank You Bobby!!
this randomly came up in my feed when I was about to install some pocket doors. this is perfect.
Hi, Paul and Jordan I stumbled upon your guys channel and watched all the videos. I subscribed after the one episode I watched. I love the way you guys go into detail and explain how, why and what products to use.
Great job as always 👏👍
OUTSTANDING 👍
Great video, the kit I bought said width is 2D + 1 1/4 but then I actually measured the header rail piece and it needed 2D + 1 1/2. Read and verify for any rough opening
looks awesome!!
Hey guys you are pretty crafty and I might have mentioned this before somewhere else but when you have metal that's bent like the track in the header you can use a crescent wrench. You would not believe what issues I've fixed with a $.25 chinese crescent wrench out of a cheap toolkit when I'm in a fix. Not sure if it would fit in this situation since I didn't see a close up but keep it in mind. You can also use two together if need be. you just tighten the jaws on the metal and bend it, or put the second wrench on the handle of the first and twist it that way. Keep up the good work.
Smashing the like button was the least I could do to repay you for all this epic content
Thank you for the tips. Awesome video.
Great tip about the plywood.
Best instructive video I’ve ever watched 🤙 AWESOME
great video, thank you; i am installing this pocket door now for a water closet in the master bath.
Great channel! Happy to subscribe!!!!!!!!!!
tidy work...attention to detail is impressive.
Excellent video - I just installed a marwin pocket door and the video helped to make the install go flawlessly. Could not be happier with the result. Thank you.
That's awesome thanks Laurie!!
nice job thanks for the video great job , i enjoy your videos .
Great video guys!
Great video step by step after I seen a couple yours motivated me thanks buddy.
I look forward to seeing how you are going to finish trim the pocket door that closes into the other pocket door. Pocket door T intersection. LOL. Looks like your will need more 3/4" ply backing in the door that goes into the pantry.
Great team work makes the dream work!
Was hoping to see some scrap stud to be packed in between the wall and the new 2x that was added onto the second door, I thought that would’ve helped for the long run to add support to the frame with every time the pocket door is pushed opened and beats on the back stud.
This are my .02.
You should do a video on framing a Dutch Gable/hip roof roof. I love your teaching.
Great video guys
Pocket door Kings are you!
Great Video
Thx Paul 👍
Very nicely done and great results! Only thing I would add is another board on top of the last door header for a nailer when the trim goes on. Nice job.
I did that later 👍💪
Let's get it done!!
Awesome content!
Wow great work explanation and all 🔥
Again ..Great work Gents. .. You mustve played baseball or coached baseball .. youre always wearing something with baseball .. thats great cause i grew up playing baseball here in H-Town ..
Also .. Let Jordan know i said ... GO ASTROS ..
Wow this was super helpful
Hey, great job on filming and editing!
Great job! Cool vidio!
You framed the rough opening 1 3/4 wider than the door but then installed the door all the way against the left side of the framing. How will you fill that gap for the door to close against?
Also, where the Johnson door butts into the Marwin door, will there be some finish trim or something so the door doesn’t close against drywall?
Did you consider flipping the bracket on the second door? Not sure of how the bracket was fully designed, but since you were adding a 2x4 block above it...might have been able to flip it and screw it instead of adding the 3/4 ply. The 3/4 ply is a nice reinforcement to keep the door square over time though.
As always, great work and video! Even as I concentrate more on channel growth instead of watching content myself, you guys get a rare "All Notifications On" from me. 👍
Much appreciated 👍💪
Great demo
I haven't seen any pocket doors in the culture where I live (Perth, Western Australia). I must say though having watched your video that pocket doors are a great deal more practical, aesthetically pleasing and more quiet than, just common to us, sliding doors.
Thx for watching Kylie. Would love to visit your part of the world 👍😎
I’m curious to know how you guys go about bringing tools to the job site. Do you guys plan each day and only bring tools relevant to what you plan on doing that day or do you throw everything into the truck and bring it all every day? Great video as always.
Great Originality With Conviction
- Learner DIYer question regarding the small cripple stud
- You nailed into header
- You screwed into head plate
Why not screw both - Is there any real difference in screwing or nailing?
- What is better for what purpose
- Which is stronger
- Does screwing enable you align and join CAREFULLY both pieces as a nail would need to be put in 1 go not allowing for correction - As sometimes nails & screws when in final position can alter the fine alignment of the 2 pieces
- SORRY LOT OF QUESTIONS
I have been doing this work for over 40 years now and I can honestly say that I have never installed a pocket door, but now I have installed lots of doors though.
You guys are amazing
Every pocket door I've installed (which is up to 3 now) has been a Johnson. But I never got the wooden frames, I just got the kits with the metal channel wrapped around wood "pseudo-studs". I really like the convenience of these wood-framed models. Is that a special order thing, or can you get those through one of the big boxes?
Made it look easy 👍
Very good video. Almost seems like its easier to install a old work pocket door in New framing.
Are you going to show the hanging of the pocket doors with the trolleys and their alignment. I would be interested in seeing how it it done. Also for shallow depth shelving what is the maximum length you can have a shelf before shelf brackets are needed?
You do fantastic work. You’re channel is great. One thing I saw and was curious. No cripples above the doors? I know, I know, it’s plenty strong. You guys always build above spec, and it seems odd you don’t cripple that space for belt and suspenders.
I painted some kitchen cabinets but the paint is very easy to scratch off. What kind of paint should I use instead?
What's the extra 1 3/4" for? Does it go on the opening side or in the back of the frame side?
Great video
New drinking game: Hoist one every time Paul or Jordan says, "Let's get it done," as well as when one of them flashes the Fonzi-like thumbs up. See if you can make it through an episode still standing.
Who’s Fonzi 😂😂😂👍💪
Thx JR!!
@@StudPack I can't remember his first name. Andrew maybe or something like that, but last name Fonzarelli from the TV show Happy days. A bit before your time lol.
Well done video Sir
I have a question that I can't find an answer to. My contractor went Awol so I've been forced to finish my bathroom myself since he also was paid in full before he disappeared.
I have a pocket door like the first one you put in, I noticed how flimsy the jambs are on mine where you attached that block until you do the drywall. Will drywall really stiffen that up enough or can I replace the horizontal slabs with a 3/4" sheet of LVL/plywood to make it more rigid? I know a 4x8 sheet of LVL is like $60 right now, but I have 3 kids and I'm worried about them bumping into the wall once it's finished and popping all the screws out of the frame through the drywall. This would be a huge help if you could offer some advice!
nice work.
Good work guys , that was good work how you make it work the second door nice
Thanks for this great video! I am a beginner--do you show how to put the actual door in place in another video?
Thank you 🙏
