Pocket doors are one of the toughest repairs in the trade, and one of the few things JDM does differently from almost everyone else. From elite technician Yuval.
Most companies cut open your wall to reach a pocket door, because the hardware the door hangs from sits inside the wall cavity, but we do not.
A pocket door is harder to repair than people expect because the part that fails, the hangers and track the door rides on, is hidden inside the wall.

Pocket doors here have a moisture problem you cannot see from the room. Humidity inside the wall cavity swells the framing and the slab, so the panel rubs the jamb through August and frees up in January. We open the wall only as far as we have to, check the studs and the header for soft wood before we touch the track, and set the clearances for a wet summer rather than a dry inspection day. We work the streets around Tanger Outlets Charleston and out through Wando Woods and Cherry Hill, and the job is the same wherever you are in North Charleston.

★★★★★ 600+ Verified Reviews ★★★★★ · a month ago"After I made an appointment I decided I was going to try and do it myself. Michael FaceTimed me, walked me through what to do, then call back if I still needed him. An hour later I called him and he was at my house in 35 minutes. Some of the best service I've ever received from a contractor. He finished in two hours and went above and beyond. The same-day service was incredible. Absolute professionals."
★★★★★ · a year ago"After a couple of hiccups with getting our repair done by someone else, our technician Richard showed up on time, actually half an hour earlier than the appointment time. He was very polite and got the job done in the time he told us it would take. Our glass door now glides smoothly and is able to lock again. I highly recommend Richard, he represented his company very well. I will definitely consider using them in the future!"

Practical advice for maintaining your sliding doors in North Charleston's local conditions.
If your North Charleston home came with the standard subdivision slider, the rollers, weatherstrip, and latch are all on the same clock. When one goes, have all three looked at in the same visit rather than paying a trip charge three times in one year.
The small drain slots in the bottom track are what let a summer downpour back out. Pollen and grass seed block them within a season, and a blocked track holds water against the frame until it finds the inside. Clear them in March, and have the sill checked if the interior trim has ever stained.
Pocket door tracks collect dust and debris inside the wall cavity. Regular vacuuming along the floor track opening prevents buildup that causes sticking and derailing.

Because they are the same door. Subdivisions across this part of the Lowcountry went up quickly with the builder-grade slider that came in the package, so a whole street tends to hit the eight to ten year mark together. Rollers, weatherstrip, and the latch usually go within a season of each other on those units, which is why we would rather do all three in one visit than come back three times.
