Double sliding "Pocket" door? (one sided)?

[rob2218]

hello all,
I haven't been on here in a while but here's my question:

Where can I get a double sliding pocket door where the 2 panels reside only on one side of the door sliding area? Right now the single pocket door I see don't have the option to add another door panel. Please advise. The object I'm looking for is basically the "pocket door" but with a second panel on the same side as the first panel. By "same side" I mean two door panels that slide into one pocket on one side of the assembly.

Oh yeah... Manufacturer!...

There's Fleetwood, too. They'll make almost any kind of door you want. Milgard is also making big-span sliders now, but they don't pocket.

Thanks, Dave. What I see on your site is not what I would call pocket doors? I would call those Nana Walls / sliding walls with a framed housing. Not that I know! I always thought that a pocket door was a door that would fit into a standard, continuous, framed wall... with the studs being placed flat for the pocket so that the wall thickness remained the same as the rest of the framed wall?

Thanks for a reminder to more thoroughly look through your amazing library that you have gifted to all of us! 🙂

Cheers,
Karl

Sorry I am just responding, found this in my junk folder...
Karl, we try to use double pocket doors on interior to be have the ability to open up or between 2 rooms and have a large opening. We really need these door in a variety of panels 2,3,4 or more and either stacked or pocketing. A 2 panel stacking pocket unit is what I am looking for specifically right now.
We used Dave's 4 panel stacking door, I think, here on a stacking exterior door on a brewing company to be able to stack 3 of the panels on the fixed one and have a 9ft opening onto sidewalk 'bistro' seating, or to close it down as needed. I will take some pics and post. These doors are lift and slide units and work fantastic. A local door and window craftsman produces them locally.
Thanks Dave great library parts and insights!
