Does that take into account enough space on the bottom of the door so it doesn't hit the floor? Or am I suppose to add 1/2" or so on top of the 81 3/4". 2) The closet doors is adjacent to a sheetrock wall. Can the door just close up against the sheetrock wall, or is there suppose to be something like a 2X4 or door jamb on the side of the frame? What is usually done on the sides? Ypou are talking a pocket door? Follow the instructions - the clearance is provided for, and GENERALLY tou would frame out the door like any other so the door closes against wood. Any I've installed have been done that way |

Ok, I think I got it now. I should just frame like a regular door with
4 9/16" wide door jambs on the sides so I can put molding around. I'll keep it about 2 1/2" away from the wall for molding. Thanks for the inputs. |
