  • Anyone changed a 'normal' internal door to one of those internal 'cavity' sliding doors?

    How do I know it's even possible? I presume there's all manner of beams and shit ('scuse the technifuckincalities) that would need to be changed. Does the wall need to be deconstructed first?

  • No, but I've seen someone who has a 'slider'.

    The wall it slides into is massively thick, so I imagine it at least require demolition amd rebuilding of the present wall. If load bearing then I guess its even worse.

  • If it's an internal stud wall it's probably thick enough to convert to a pocket door. You would need to remove the plasterboard, do a bit of woodwork to create the pocket and fit the hanging slider rail etc, then make good.

  • We have them but it was done during building work so the house was fucked anyway. However it was just a new stud wall and although there's a rail the doors hang on there was no additional steel work put in to support this and ours are solid wood doors. I really like them money well spent

  • Why not have something gangstah like this?

  • Old post but yeah did. Plaster board wall?
