What are Bespoke Sliding Pocket Doors?
Bespoke sliding pocket doors are fully custom-made pocket door solutions that are designed & built specifically for spaces, openings, or design visions that cannot be served by a standard single or double pocket door. Bespoke means exactly that: the door, the frame, the configuration, and the finish are all specified around your individual requirements rather than fitted to a catalogue option.
At Pocket Doors Dublin, bespoke work is where our expertise & craftsmanship are most visible. Every bespoke project starts with a detailed consultation. We listen to your unique objectives, assess the space & design a solution that works structurally and looks exactly as you envision. No two bespoke projects are the same, and that is precisely the point.
BESPOKE SLIDING POCKET DOORS
What makes the pocket door 'bespoke'?
Non-Standard Sizes
Need a door wider, taller, or narrower than a standard leaf? We work with non-standard dimensions that have oversized doors for grand architectural openings, undersized doors for unusually tight spaces, or any dimension that falls outside the standard 24″–34″ range.
Wall Panel Integration
Bespoke pocket doors can be integrated into a full wall panel system. Where the door, when closed, forms part of a continuous panelled wall and is virtually invisible. This is a high-end architectural detail increasingly popular in Dublin home renovations and extensions.
Custom Finishes & Materials
From solid wood and painted finishes to veneer, lacquered, or material-matched panels, the door leaf can be specified in almost any interior finish. We advise on what works technically with the pocket system and looks outstanding in your space.
Unique Configurations
Beyond standard single and double configurations, we can work on three-panel systems, extra-wide openings, angled walls, or configurations that require bespoke structural solutions. Every unusual configuration starts with a detailed site assessment.
Interior Designer & Architect Collaboration
We work directly with interior designers & architects on bespoke projects, translating design drawings and specifications into working pocket door installations. If you are working with a designer or architect, we are experienced in collaborating at a technical level.
Wall Structures
Dublin’s older period properties like Victorian terraces, Georgian houses, Edwardian homes, often present structural challenges that standard pocket door installations cannot accommodate. Bespoke solutions are often the only answer for these properties, and period home work is something we have extensive experience in.

POCKET DOORS DUBLIN FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate a pocket door into a full wall panelling system?
Yes. This is one of the most requested bespoke configurations we work on. A fully integrated pocket door within a wall panel system creates a stunning architectural effect where the door is virtually invisible when closed, forming part of a continuous panelled wall. This requires careful coordination between the pocket door frame, the panelling system, and the surrounding joinery. We have extensive experience delivering this finish.
Can a bespoke pocket door be made to match existing joinery or doors in my home?
Absolutely. Matching an existing finish, colour, or profile is one of the most common bespoke requests we receive. If you have existing painted joinery, a specific wood stain, or a door style throughout your home that you want the pocket door to match, we discuss this during the consultation and specify the door leaf accordingly. The goal is always a pocket door that looks like it was always meant to be there.
Can a bespoke pocket door have a soft-close or self-closing mechanism?
Yes, soft-close & self-closing mechanisms can be incorporated into bespoke pocket door specifications. A soft-close system slows the door in the final portion of its travel so it closes quietly and gently without being slammed. A self-closing mechanism pulls the door fully closed from any position within a certain range. These are more commonly requested in bespoke projects than standard ones, particularly in high-end renovations where every detail is considered. We advise on compatibility with the specific rail system and door configuration during the design stage.
Can a pocket door be installed in a bathroom where there is steam and humidity?
Ensuites and bathrooms are among the most common locations for single pocket doors, and humidity is a valid consideration. The key factor is the door leaf material — a solid timber door in a high-humidity environment can swell and warp over time if not properly sealed and finished. We advise on suitable door materials and finishes for bathroom environments during the consultation. The OPK rail hardware itself is not adversely affected by normal bathroom humidity levels. Ensuring adequate ventilation in the bathroom is also important and will significantly reduce the impact of humidity on any timber door over the long term.
Can a bespoke pocket door be installed as part of a new home extension in Dublin?
Absolutely — new extensions are an ideal opportunity to incorporate bespoke pocket doors because the walls are being built from scratch, which gives us the most flexibility in terms of specifying the pocket cavity, the wall thickness, and the opening dimensions. Many Dublin homeowners planning a kitchen extension, a rear return, or a side extension choose to integrate bespoke pocket doors at the planning stage rather than retrofitting afterwards. If you are working with a builder or architect on an extension, we are happy to liaise directly with them to ensure the pocket door specification is built into the construction drawings from the outset. This saves time, reduces cost, and produces a better result.
