PRE-DOOR FITTING INFORMATION
Firstly construct a studwork frame on which to affix the pocket door system. Portman doors are designed
with 100mm studwork
For correct operation, it is crucial that the frame is constructed square and plumb.
Abbreviations
W = STUDWORK WIDTH
H = STUDWORK HEIGHT
Op = DOOR OPENING WIDTH
Oh = DOOR OPENING HEIGHT
Wp = DOOR WIDTH
Hp = DOOR HEIGHT
SIZES CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS
(FOR STANDARD, INTEMEDIATE AND WIDE DOOR)
1. To calculate studwork width and height from known door dimensions:
Studwork width (W) = 2 x Door width (Wp) + 11mm For double doors: (W) = 4 x (Wp) - 10mm
Studwork height (H) = Door height (Hp) + 99mm For double doors: (H) = (Hp) + 99mm
2. To calculate door size from known studwork dimensions:
Door width (Wp) = (Studwork width (W) -11mm) / 2 For double doors: (Wp) = ((W) + 16mm) / 4
Door height (Hp) = Studwork height (H) - 99mm For double doors: (Hp) = (H) - 99mm
3. To calculate door size from known door opening dimensions:
Door width (Wp) = Door opening width (Op) + 23mm For double doors: (Wp) = ((Op) + 34mm) / 2
Door height (Hp) = Door opening height (Oh) - 47mm For double doors: (Hp) = (Oh) - 47mm
4. To calculate door opening width and height from known door dimensions:
Door opening width (Op) = Door width (Wp) - 23mm For double doors: (Op) = (2 x (Wp - 34mm))
Door opening height (Oh) = Door height (Hp) + 47mm For double doors: (Oh) = (Hp) + 47mm
5. To calculate valence length width and cutting positions from known door dimensions:
Standard width valence length (Vl)= Door width (Wp) + 2mm Intermediate and wide valance length (Vl): (Wp) +2mm
Standard Width Cutting Position (Vc) = (929 - Vl) / 2 Intermediate and Wide Cutting Positons: (1503 - Vl) / 2

panels join.
In the last ‘Z’ section slot towards the back of the inside pocket, push the large chock into the top
‘Z’ section and the two small chocks into the bottom ‘Z’ section.
This pushes the edge outwards so the door does not snag on it when closing.
For intermediary and wide kits, fit the chocks in the first and last slot in the rear ‘Z’ sections as
detailed above. Fit protective edge clips to all joints on rear panels.
Repeat stages 4 - 5 on the other side of the pocket.
