I've been asked to install a pocket door and it's been a few years since
I've done so. I remember the framing being rather poorly made, and the
hardware for the doors not the best. Is it possible to get decent quality
frames and hardware? Are there companies that will ship?

The opening I need it for it 2'2"

After good hardware, the best improvement you can make is to use a
solid core door instead of hollow. It will feel more solid, block
sound better, slide smoother, and just give what is usually a
compromise solution a quality feel.

Thanks all. I went to the website and found that a couple of the Home
Depots close by carry them, though I don't know if they have them in stock
or can order them. I'm going to go with them, and use a solid door, unless
the customer wants a panel door.
