Pocket Door History
Pocket doors were very popular in the late 1800's through the early 1900's, in many of the Victorian houses, where double doors were wanted to close off rooms, such as sitting rooms or dens. A couple of factors contributed to the demise of pocket doors at the time. The style of architecture changed, and most of the hardware companies manufacturing this hardware went out of business. For many decades in the 20th century, the pocket door hardware available most commonly, through lumber yards, was of very poor quality, and many builders and homeowners had bad experiences with pocket doors that came off the tracks back in the wall.
