Thanks for the video, I was about to mount my door and then cut.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad I could help thanks for the comment.

Quick tip: Do your prep (cutting & drilling) prior to installing the door in the pocket. Set it on some cushioned saw horses. (I usually tape a couple layers of packing foam sheets or a moving blanket over the horse.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Great tip! Thanks for the comment.

Looking great guys. They take a bit more planning, but I love pocket doors, you don’t have to consider the swing of the door. Thanks for inviting us over, be well my friends.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I like them a lot they do save space thanks for the comment Hatch.

Nice clean movement. I want to put one in the bathroom in my cabin.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you David.

Those pockets doors sure do save a lot of space. We had 2 or them in our last house.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

They sure do love them.

I was looking for specific video about the size of the hole that needed to be cut off to fit the lock in place and I found it.

Glad I could help thanks for the comment and watching.

Great video ! Just one suggestion maybe next time you can clamp on a straight edge to run your circular saw, reciprocating saw or jig saw on and then use a an oscillating tool blade to square it off. You can also make a jig. Just a little cleaner. Circular locks could be eassier you can just use the same tools and Jigs that are used for regular doors. Thanks for sharing your video!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

11:53 I realize it's zoomed in but, that looks closer to a 5/8 (not 3/8)...it's the same width of (or wider than) your finger...hence why you find the resulting hole too wide - which I agree with. Nice work though. I'm about to do the same type of install. Thanks for the tips.

Your welcome glad to help.

Great job, nice informative video. I would have used a circular saw to cut the notch to. Anyway the only thing you didn't show us was how to position the strike Plate up and down to make sure

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and for watcing.

[@madan9394]

More details about installing flat plate, especially positioning will help. It is confusing.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Sorry about that.

[@matthewlopez5917]

The latch catches the back of the strike plate

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment

[@Makoonga]

No real craftsman would use a circular saw to do those cuts. Do NOT take this guy's advice.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and watching my friend.

[@aaronrandolph261]

looked like it worked for him. what would you use a skill saw? not being sarcastic just getting ready to do this myself and i am going to use my skill saw to make the cuts...unless there is a better tool for this job. i am obviously not a craftsman either

[@gnarlock3927]

A circ saw can get a buttery smooth cut in the right hands

[@aaronrandolph261]

@@gnarlock3927 lol not in my hands . tried the circ saw was a messy cut. ended up using an Oscillating Tool. worked great

[@devonc9764]

Nothing wrong with using a circular saw, as long as you are competent. Use whatever works for you. Maybe the person who said a "real craftsman" is just an incompetent imbecile and should not be allowed to use sharp tools. Give him a butter knife to make the cut. I have installed literally HUNDREDS of pocket doors BTW.
