(BPT) – The right door hardware can improve both function and design in the home. Whether you’re renovating or simply upgrading, understanding options like pocket, wall-mount, bypass, multi-pass and bi-fold doors will help you make a smart choice. Each type has unique benefits that suit different spaces, from saving floor space in compact bathrooms to dividing areas in spacious home gyms. Explore five top solutions below.
1. Save Space with Stylish Pocket Door Hardware
Pocket doors slide into the wall to maximize floor space. Perfect for everyday use in tight areas like hallways, bathrooms and kitchens, the ADA-compliant 1500SC Pocket Door Frame Kit is a popular choice because little force is required to slide the door. It can be used with nearly any type of door and provides soft-closing door movement that prevents slamming and enhances safety.
2. Wall-Mount Doors Offer Privacy Without Wall Modifications
Wall mount sliding doors are simple and quick to install and give any room an instant facelift. The 200WM Wall Mount Sliding Door Hardware Kit supports extra-heavy doors and includes a soft-close feature, perfect in bedrooms, laundry rooms and home offices where a quietly closing door is appreciated.
3. Bypass Sliding Doors: Perfect for Closets
Smooth gliding and long-lasting bypass door hardware is a closet staple. From hallway, bathroom, and bedroom closets to kitchen pantries, sliding bypass doors free up floor space so you can fit more furniture in a room. Swinging doors can block walkways, whereas bypass doors keep the path free and clear.
4. Multi-Pass Doors for Modern Room Dividers
It’s easy to open up or close off larger spaces with Multi-Pass Door Hardware. Three door panels hang from a durable top track and each door slides independently from jamb to jamb. Door panels stack together neatly to widen a doorway, giving access to two-thirds of the opening.
5. Bi-Fold Doors Maximize Visibility and Function in Tight Spots
Great for closets converted into creative spaces, such as a bar nook or workshop, bi-fold door panels fold together and allow ample access to the closet contents. For best results, it is important to choose high-quality folding door hardware when upgrading a closet so your doors operate trouble-free over time.
