    Kit Eases Installation of Heavy-duty, Soft-close Pocket Doors

    Whether in commercial or residential settings, it’s easy to save valuable floor space in rooms with Johnson Hardware’s 2060SC or 2000SC Series Heavy-Duty Soft-Close Pocket Door Frame Kits. Made in the USA, these high-quality kits deliver enduring performance under heavy usage in homes, condos, apartments, offices, hotels, health care facilities and senior living communities.

    Packaged to enable easy transport to job sites and quick installs once there, the hardware works in both single door and converging door applications. It is also compatible with 2- by 4-inch or 2- by 6-inch timber walls, or with steel framed stud walls when using the Steel Stud Adapter Kit.

    The innovative kits can be adapted for non-standard wall thicknesses, or block masonry walls. In addition, the frame header may be cut down to accommodate smaller door sizes.  

    Other ingenious features contribute to installation ease and trouble-free use. For instance, all-steel split studs maximize wall rigidity. Self-adjusting floor brackets neutralize the impact of uneven floors. Both features help ensure pocket doors remain smooth gliding. The plywood clip set 1515-PLY, purchased separately, can reinforce pocket walls for added strength.

    Soft close

    With the introduction of Johnson Hardware’s soft-close/soft-open hardware, door slamming and pinched fingers are things of the past. Series 2060SC and 2000SC kits assure quiet movement of extra-heavy-duty doors, so they close safely and with greatly reduced noise. Less wear and tear on doors and jambs contribute to longer life. 

    The design of Johnson Hardware’s extra heavy-duty pocket door frame kits allow for extraordinary versatility. They can readily handle the movement of solid-core doors up to 9-feet tall, 5-feet wide and weighing up to 330 pounds. When using 2- by 6-inch timber or 6-inch steel framed stud walls, pick the 2060SC kit. If working with 2- by 4-inch timber walls or 4-inch steel framed stud walls, use the 2000SC kit. 

    Johnson Hardware’s 2060SC and 2000SC kits also provide users with a selection of two Door Guide alternatives. They are the Hidden Door Guide Kit which glides in a hidden channel routed into the door bottom and the Standard Door Guide.

    What’s more, there’s a quick-release tab on the door hangers that enables the door to be removed without tearing into the wall.
