Custom Steel Pocket Doors
Where a Pocket Door Works Best
A pocket door is the answer when there's no room for a door to go. It slides into the wall instead of swinging into the space or sliding across it, so a tight ensuite, a small office, or a closet opening gets its full floor and wall back. In steel and glass, it does that without going dark; the glass carries brightness between rooms even when the door's closed.
Make it yours
Ordering a pocket door from us is a real conversation, not a checkout. Here's what you get to decide.
Glass and sightlines
Because the door shows when it's closed, the glass does the work. Clear to share light and openness, or obscured and reeded for privacy without going solid, which is what makes these so good for bathrooms and offices. [SME: confirm glass options.]
Finishes and color
Black steel leads, a slim dark frame against the wall it slides into. Want it to match a specific palette? We finish in other colors too, tied to your interior. [SME: confirm finish range.]
Hardware and the slide
The door glides on a precise track-and-roller system for a smooth, quiet pull. [SME: confirm soft-close availability.] And because a pocket door has no standard knob face, we fit a flush edge pull and latching made for the job, so it opens easy and closes clean every time.
The black steel look
If you've seen a sliding glass pocket door and wanted it, this is almost certainly what you saw: a slim dark frame and a wall of glass that slides away to nothing. It's our signature and where most projects begin.

Plan the Wall Before You Build It
A pocket door needs a cavity inside the wall to slide into, and the best results come from planning it early. The cavity runs roughly twice the width of the door so the whole panel disappears, which changes how the wall gets framed. [SME: confirm cavity-width rule of thumb.] That's why it's best designed in at rough-in rather than retrofitted later.
A couple of things to plan around. First, the pocket wall generally can't carry plumbing, electrical, or structural load across the cavity span, so it's planned as a non-structural partition. [SME: confirm guidance.] Bring us in while the wall's still on paper and we'll tell you exactly what it needs and flag what to coordinate with your GC, so nothing has to get torn out and redone once the door shows up.
A Pocket Door Built to Last as Long as the House
This is a made-to-spec door, not something pulled off a rack. We fabricate each pocket door to your exact opening and cavity, which is what lets it slide clean into the wall and sit flush when it's shut, so it fits like it was meant to be there, because it was.
You'll feel the difference every time you use it. It glides smoothly, runs quiet, and keeps doing both for decades, on track and rollers picked for that smooth feel. It's all American-made, which keeps the design, the quality control, and the timeline close to home. The money goes into the build, and the build is what you live with.
Steel Pocket Door Projects
The sleek beauty of a steel pocket door speaks for itself. If you're trying to picture yours, start by looking at someone else's.
Let's Build Your Door
If you're a builder, designer, or architect, you need the pocket door confidently on spec and on schedule, and that's how we run it. The earlier we're in, the cleaner the install, because the pocket gets framed right the first time. We start with a real conversation about the opening and the cavity, coordinate with you through design, and put shop drawings in front of you to approve before we cut anything.
We confirm your lead time up front and coordinate fabrication, delivery, and install against your construction schedule, so the door arrives when the wall's ready, not whenever it happens to be done. Simple promise: what's on the drawing is what shows up, and it shows up on time.
1. Talk it through — Confirm the opening and the cavity the wall needs to hold.
2. Drawings to approve — Coordinate the framing with your GC and sign off before we build.
3. We build it — Made to your exact dimensions in our US shop.
4. Delivery & install — Coordinated to your construction schedule.
It's a sliding door that disappears into a cavity inside the wall when it's open, built on a slim steel frame with glass. You get a flush, space-saving opening and no door standing in the room.
Enough wall to hold a cavity about twice the door's width, so the whole panel slides out of sight. [SME: confirm rule of thumb.] It's best planned before the wall's framed.
Sometimes, but it usually means opening the wall up to build the pocket, so it's far easier in new construction or a renovation.
