The Pocket Door Soft Close Mechanism Kit upgrades existing or new 9628CS, 9629CS, 9630CS, 9631CS, 9850HD and 9852HD pocket doors to either soft close or soft open. This kit will allow the door to hold securely in place and to brake smoothly when closing or opening the door depending on how the kit is installed.
Note: To upgrade one pocket door to either soft close or soft open, a minimum of 24" (609.6mm) wide and 1" (25.4mm) thick door is required. To upgrade one pocket door to both soft close and soft open, a minimum of 28" (711.2mm) wide and 1" (25.4mm) thick door is required. The maximum weight of the door is 150lbs.
1 New vs. Existing Pocket Door Kit
New Pocket Door Kit
• Use the 4-wheel hangers and the soft close dampener provided in this kit
Existing Pocket Door Kit
• Replace both of the existing 4-wheel roller with the 4-wheel roller and the soft close dampener provided in this kit
Note: An access hole must be created to add a soft open on an existing door. This is because the actuator needs to be installed on the pocket end of the track for a soft open.
