Operating Instructions
The SOLRIG Sliding Pocket Door operates by sliding horizontally into a wall cavity, effectively disappearing when open. This mechanism maximizes usable floor space compared to traditional hinged doors.
- To open the door, gently push it into the wall cavity until it is fully recessed.
- To close the door, pull it out from the wall cavity until it meets the door jamb.
- Ensure the track is free of debris for smooth operation.

- Cleaning: Wipe down MDF door panels with a soft, damp cloth. For glass panels, use a standard glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically inspect the door track for any debris or obstructions. Clean the track as needed to ensure smooth sliding.
- Hardware Check: Annually check all screws and hardware for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent operational issues.
- Lubrication: If the door begins to stick or operate roughly, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and track.
