Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the smooth operation and longevity of your pocket door system. It is recommended to have basic carpentry skills and tools for this installation. Refer to the provided diagrams for visual guidance.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Measuring Tape
- Level
- Drill
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Pencil
- Saw (if track modification is needed)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure your wall opening is correctly framed for a pocket door. The opening width should be approximately twice the door width plus 1 inch, and the height should accommodate the door plus the track system.
- Install the Aluminum Track:
- Position the aluminum track within the header of your pocket door frame.
- Ensure the track is perfectly level.
- Secure the track using the provided mounting screws. The precision extruded aluminum box track is designed to prevent the door from jumping.

- Hang the Door:
- Carefully lift the door panel and engage the hanger wheels into the track's convex rails.
- The quick-release locking tab allows for easy installation and removal.
- Install Floor Guides:
- Position the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening to prevent the door from swinging.
- Secure them to the floor according to your door's thickness and desired stability.
- Install Door Bumper:
- Attach the door bumper to the inside of the pocket frame where the door fully retracts.
- This prevents the door from hitting the jamb and ensures quiet operation.

- Make any necessary adjustments to the hangers or floor guides for optimal alignment and movement.
Operating Instructions
To operate your JUBEST pocket door, simply grasp the door pull or handle and slide the door along the track. The three-wheel hangers with heavy-duty ball bearings ensure minimal friction and quiet rolling, allowing for smooth and effortless movement. Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the long-term performance of your JUBEST pocket door hardware.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the aluminum track and hangers with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: If the door's movement becomes less smooth over time, a light application of silicone-based lubricant to the track and hanger wheels can restore optimal performance. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Inspection: Annually inspect all mounting screws and hardware components for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose screws.
