Standard Frame Preparation

Every HDPOCKETDOORS frame is built to the project specifications you provide. Unless otherwise noted, our standard frame preparation includes the following:

Specification	Standard
Door Callout	Actual finished door size
Jamb Thickness	3/4"
Door Lap	3/4"
CLR (Door to Subfloor)	1"

Door Callout

Provide the actual finished door size, including width, height, and thickness.

Example: 36" × 96" × 1-3/4"

Your frame will be manufactured to accommodate these exact dimensions. HDPOCKETDOORS does not undersize or oversize frames, so providing the actual finished door size is essential.

Jamb Thickness

Our standard frame preparation is based on a 3/4" jamb thickness.

If your project requires a different jamb thickness, simply specify it when placing your order, and we'll build the frame accordingly.

Door Lap

Our standard preparation includes a 3/4" door lap, meaning at least 3/4" of the door remains inside the pocket when the door is fully closed.

This serves two important functions:

• Eliminates visible light between the door and the pocket.
• Keeps the floor guide fully engaged for proper door alignment and smooth operation.

A larger lap can be specified if desired, but 3/4" is the minimum required for proper performance with our standard floor guide.

CLR (Door to Subfloor)

CLR is the distance from the bottom of the door to the subfloor before finished flooring is installed.

Our standard 1" CLR is designed for most installations using 1/2" to 5/8" finished flooring, resulting in approximately 3/8" to 1/2" clearance between the finished floor and the bottom of the door.

If your flooring thickness differs from standard, we can adjust the CLR during manufacturing to maintain your desired finished clearance. Simply provide the finished flooring thickness when ordering.

If no flooring thickness is specified, frames will be manufactured using our standard 1" CLR.

Need Something Different?

Every HDPOCKETDOORS frame is built to order. If your project requires a different jamb thickness, door lap, floor clearance, or other custom preparation, simply include those specifications when requesting your quote or placing your order. We'll build your frame to match your project requirements.
