UK suppliers of pocket door kits ?
 

Does anyone know of a supplier at reasonable prices.

A web search found Eclisse but I was not planning on spending £400.

I plan to build a walk-in larder at the end of the kitchen and the wife has
expressed an interest in a pocket door.

They used to be called Sliding Doors. The type you put on wardrobes.

To my knowledge, they're still called sliding doors. Why "pocket" door? Can
you stick loose change in them?

AIUI a pocket door slides into the thickness of the wall so you can
put furniture up to the opening on both sides. Over the area where
the door slides you just have two skins of (?) plasterboard stuck to
ply.

Close Tony: but no cigar.
"Pocket doors" are utilised typically within a piece of furniture,
fr'instance on a 'hide-the-TV-screen' cabinet where the item
is 'hidden' behind two doors each of which opens then slides into
'pockets' on either side of the cabinet carcase. Pocket doors are
supposed to 'retract' _into_ the cabinets depth without swinging
beyond the cabinet's width.
The feat is accomplished by each leaf utilising the 'eurohinge'
(kitchen cabinet) where each hinge body - instead of being a
hole in the carcase- is housed on a bar enabling it to travel
through the cabinet's depth. You open the doors normally,
then push the door -hinges and all- back within the cabinet.
[It's easier to see than describe]
It's not necessary to have an inner skin on the cabinet for
the 'pocket-hinged doors but it tends to make a more attractive
cabinet. And , guess what? The doors have been stowed in _pockets_.
