  • Build a Dummy Door Before Drywall: A Pocket Door Lesson Learned

    Build a Dummy Door Before Drywall: A Pocket Door Lesson Learned
    10 Oct 2026

    Bryan Uhler is back with a practical construction lesson from a pocket-door installation that didn’t go quite as planned. Before drywall goes up, build a simple dummy door from a 2x4 or 2x6 and use the actual hardware to test the door’s travel and confirm the soft-close activators are installed and working. It’s a small framing-stage check that can prevent trim removal, drywall repairs, and frustration later.

    Bryan shares what the crew missed, how they corrected it, and why the test door will become a reusable jobsite tool. He also explains why a pocket door made sense for this project and what to consider when choosing a frame system.

    Disclosure: The Cavity Sliders frame was received at no cost. This episode is not sponsored.
