Pocket Door Hardware

Pocket doors are designed to slide into a wall cavity rather than swing into the room, helping to save valuable floor space. Because the door disappears into the wall, it needs different hardware from a conventional hinged internal door.

Our range includes pocket door handles and accessories in matt black, satin chrome and antique brass, with options for standard internal doors as well as bathrooms, en suites and other rooms where privacy is required.

Handles for Pocket Doors

Conventional projecting door handles are not always suitable for pocket doors because they can prevent the door from sliding fully into the wall. Pocket door handles are therefore designed to sit closer to, or within, the surface of the door.

The collection includes round pocket door handles, recessed sliding door handles and specialist privacy handles designed to provide a neat finishing touch without interfering with the movement of the door.

Pocket Door Privacy Handles

Privacy handles are a practical choice for pocket doors fitted to bathrooms, en suites and bedrooms. They combine the clean appearance required for a sliding door with the ability to secure the room when privacy is needed.

Our range includes Aries pocket door privacy handles in matt black and satin chrome, providing two contemporary finishes to suit different interior styles.

Before ordering, check the product specification and make sure the handle and locking function suit the particular door and installation.

Pocket Door Privacy Sliding Locks

A pocket door used for a bathroom or other private space may require a dedicated sliding lock rather than a conventional mortice lock designed for a hinged door.

The collection includes Gemini pocket door privacy sliding locks in matt black and satin chrome. These products are designed specifically for sliding applications, helping you achieve the required functionality while maintaining a clean appearance.

Pocket Door Bathroom Locks

Bathroom pocket doors need hardware that provides convenient privacy without using a large projecting handle.

Our range includes round pocket door bathroom locks in matt black and satin chrome. These can be combined with compatible pocket door furniture to create a coordinated finish across the door.

If you are creating a new bathroom or en suite, decide on the privacy hardware at the same time as the rest of the pocket door setup. This makes it easier to ensure the various components work together correctly.

Flush Pull Handles

Flush pull handles sit into the face of the door rather than projecting prominently from it. This makes them particularly useful for pocket doors and other sliding door applications where clearance is important.

The range includes flush pulls in finishes such as antique brass, providing an option for more traditional interiors as well as the matt black and satin chrome finishes found elsewhere in the collection.

Because flush hardware is recessed into the door, accurate positioning and installation are important. Check the dimensions of the chosen product before cutting or routing the door.

Finger Pulls for Pocket Doors

Finger pulls provide a simple way to draw a pocket door out of the wall cavity when the leading edge is otherwise difficult to grip.

Our pocket door hardware includes Pisces and Virgo finger pulls in matt black and satin chrome, together with a slim pocket door finger pull handle supplied as a pair.

These small accessories can make a significant difference to the everyday convenience of a pocket door while keeping the overall design discreet.

Matt Black Pocket Door Hardware

Matt black pocket door furniture works particularly well in contemporary and industrial-style interiors. It can complement black glazed doors, dark frames and other black fittings throughout the home.

Options within the range include privacy handles, sliding locks, finger pulls, round handles and bathroom locks, allowing you to create a more consistent appearance across the door.

Satin Chrome Pocket Door Hardware

Satin chrome provides a lighter, neutral alternative and works with a wide variety of modern internal doors and room styles.

The collection includes satin chrome versions of several pocket door handles, privacy products and finger pulls, making it easier to match different pieces of door furniture within the same installation.

Choosing the Right Pocket Door Hardware

Start by considering how the pocket door will be used. A sliding door between living spaces may only require simple handles or finger pulls, while a bathroom or en suite will usually need a suitable privacy function.

Next, check the dimensions and configuration of the door. Recessed handles and locks need to fit correctly within the door, so always refer to the individual product specification before installation.

Finally, choose a finish that complements the door and surrounding room. Matching the visible handles, locks and accessories can help create a clean, considered result.

Can You Fit Pocket Door Hardware to an Existing Door?

In some cases, pocket door furniture can be replaced or upgraded without replacing the entire door, but compatibility needs to be checked carefully.

If you are replacing existing hardware, compare the dimensions and cut-outs of the current fittings with the new products before ordering. Recessed hardware may require different routing or fixing positions.

If you are converting a conventional hinged door into a pocket door, that is a larger project because the door also needs an appropriate sliding system and wall cavity. The suitability of the wall should be assessed before installation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Best Hardware for a Pocket Door?

The best pocket door hardware depends on how the door needs to function. Standard rooms may only need recessed handles and finger pulls, while bathrooms and en suites usually require suitable privacy handles or sliding locks.

Why Do Pocket Doors Need Special Handles?

A pocket door slides into the wall, so projecting handles can restrict how far the door can travel. Flush, recessed and slimline handles help maintain the required clearance.

Can Pocket Doors Be Used for Bathrooms?

Yes. Pocket doors can be useful where floor space is limited, including bathrooms and en suites. Choose pocket door hardware with a suitable privacy function when the room needs to be secured from the inside.

What Are the Downsides of Pocket Doors?

Pocket doors require suitable space within the wall and can be more involved to install than a conventional hinged door. The sliding mechanism and recessed hardware also need accurate installation for smooth operation.

How Do I Replace Pocket Door Hardware?

First identify the existing handle, pull or locking arrangement and measure the current cut-outs and fixing positions. Select replacement hardware that is compatible with the door, then follow the product installation instructions carefully.

Which Finish Should I Choose?

Matt black can create a bold contemporary appearance, while satin chrome provides a softer modern finish. Antique brass can work particularly well where the pocket door forms part of a more traditional interior.
