I watched the video on Johnson's website and they show they little
triangle pieces at the bottom to keep the door from swinging. *Having
never done this I would assume the door needs to stay a little proud
of the jam so it stays engaged on those triangles.


Those little triangles extend back a little ways into the opening.
The door should be totally flush with the split jamb when it's
installed correctly.



According to the instructions on the door pocket I installed for my
daughter the door should extend just into the wall when fully closed


I'm not quite sure what that means..."should extend _just_ into the
wall"...? Do you mean it should just project into the opening a
little bit? If so, why? There's an edge pull on a pocket door -
there's no functional reason to have the door project at all into the
opening when the door is fully recessed.

You mentioned in an earlier post about many patio doors having rollers
top and bottom, and I said I wasn't familiar with any. Help me out -
which ones are you talking about?
