| adding a latching unit and prepping the Jamb with heavy stops will provide maximum support |

| The standard track is 7/32" tall, it can be surface mounted or recessed 5/32" so it would only be 1/16" tall |
| |

| |
What height door does the Dutch Door Pocket Door Kit works with? |
The standard Kit does not have a height limit, however our frame kits are for 80" doors only, Contact us if you have need of a kit for a 84" door
unfortunatly, we can not ship frame kits for 96" tall Doors - In that case you would source the frame kit locally and then use our standard kit |
| |

| The kit can be cut to work with any door thickness, when choosing soft close, the min with is 28" - see below for wider doors |
| |
Do you have a kit for a 48" door? |
We can make a kit for a 48" door but you will have to contact us.
On a door wider that 36" there is more leverage available so care will need to be taken to insure that
the door is not pushed on while it is being open closed, also the Jamb with heavy stops will have to be used. Once the door is fully open it is supported by the jamb and wall
so it is secure. |

| It is not recommended, for that application because of strength limitations, Please contact us if this is a need as we are working on a solution |

when ordering the frame kit you will need to specify the thickness of 1 3/8" or 1 3/4" |
| |
Why does you kit not have Flush or Edge pulls for the top door? |
The top door Does not pull out without the bottom door, so in most applications when the top is moved it will be connected to the bottom.
and the flush bolt has a tab that can be used to pull the top out of the pocket. If you have an application where the bottom will be left closed and the top will be opened and closed often
flush pulls on the top might need to be used, contact us and we can supply matching pulls |
