Scope of use

What is a pocket door?

Pocket door systems allow for single or a pair of panel doors to be opened and then gives the ability to retract inside the cabinet resulting in an opening with minimal protrusion. With space becoming such a valuable requirement, the ALT-ST20 opens up tight spaces.

With most pocket door systems in the market, one of the key factors that drives people away is the cost of the hardware and the cost of installation. One of the key focus points around the development of this product has been around ease of installation. Ultimately this means reduced manufacturing costs, opening up a wider audience.

The range offers variations for both inset and overlay cabinets with soft close as standard. Both systems allow for easy adjustment with 5 angles in which it can be adjusted to.

The recent addition of an online selection tool also reduces the time needed for manufacturers to specify the correct hardware required for the project.

With space becoming harder to come by in a lot of today's builds, the ALT-ST20 has been designed and tested to suit medium to large cabinet panels for both residential and light commercial applications. Applications include under and on bench, pantries, TV cabinets, study nooks and wardrobes. You no longer have to put up with awkward panels interrupting walk through areas.

Features
  • Inlay and overlay installation,
  • Limited hardware meaning quicker installation and less risk of future issues,
  • Easily adjustable to 5 different angles - no more sagging panels,
  • Soft close,
  • Online selection tool,
  • Stocked locally in New Zealand,
