KV8091 pocket door
8/4/23
Anyone familiar with the KV8091 pocket door mechanism? I’m building pockets for the doors and I won’t be able to remove the interior panels once everything is installed. Can I still get to the hinges for adjustment once it’s assembled? Photo shows my scenario.

Hinges yes. Slide adjustment probably not.

I would make those interior components separate and removable. It will make finishing and the delivery and installation much easier. Also, the hardware installation and adjustment will be easier, and in the unlikely case that the 8091's need adjustment in the future you'll be able to do so.

You can't access it without removing the panel. Sliding that panel in is the very last step of installation. It's a huge pain to clip the doors on and if you think you have the hinges adjusted beforehand you are wrong. They will never click back into the same place. Click on the door, adjust the door, then seal off your pocket. Put a Groove and top and bottom of removable panel and it can slide in on a spline.
