Pocket doors installed against solid walls provide a space-saving alternative that doesn’t require wall modifications. With Rocket Pocket Doors, you get a smart, surface-mounted solution delivered anywhere in the UK by the next working day.

Save Space, No Wall Alterations Needed

Traditional doors swing open, eating into usable floor space. Pocket doors, by contrast, slide neatly along the face of a solid wall using a surface-mounted track. This means you gain functional space without having to break into the wall—perfect for retrofits or where wall structures must remain intact.

Our kits are designed for use against solid walls as well as new stud work, and they can be installed quickly without structural modifications. This makes them ideal for renovations, rentals, and commercial fit-outs.

There optional extras available including soft-close, self-close, and matching architrave kits. These deliver a smooth, modern finish and because they mount externally, they preserve the thermal and acoustic properties of your solid wall.

As Rocket Pocket Doors keep an extensive range in stock, we can provide next day delivery if ordered before 2pm. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contatct us on 0330 9980617.
