7. Eclisse Sliding Pocket Door System - Single Door Kit 

The Eclisse sliding door gear system is engineered for use with internal pocket hideaway doors weighing up to 80kg. It provides a space-saving solution by allowing the door to slide into a "pocket" within the wall cavity. Each easy-to-install set includes all necessary components for a durable, smooth-running sliding door, including steel-wrapped studs that create the wall cavity. The system is ideal for both residential and commercial applications, accommodating doors 35mm to 45mm thick with a finished wall thickness of 125mm.


The Eclisse kit is designed for quick installation, typically taking less than 60 minutes by a skilled installer, and is suitable for timber doors only (though kits for glass doors are also available). Unlike other pocket door systems, the Eclisse system includes a complete timber lining (jamb) with brush seals and a rubber bumper, along with a metal framework for the pocket, screws, and a roller-bearing door hanger kit.


Optional accessories are available to enhance the sliding door kit, such as a soft-close mechanism to minimise noise or a self-closing mechanism to close the door after opening automatically.

The 3D adjustable design allows the door to be adjusted vertically, horizontally, and laterally, with an opening angle of up to 180 degrees when used with architrave-free door frames.
