Cavity Slider Door FAQs
Can a cavity slider be installed in an existing wall?
Yes, but it requires opening up the wall to install the cavity frame. This involves removing
plasterboard, installing the frame kit, and then repairing and repainting the wall. It is more
straightforward during renovations when walls are already exposed.
Why is my cavity slider door sticking or hard to move?
Common causes include worn or damaged rollers, debris in the track, a warped door panel, or
the frame shifting over time. A professional can diagnose the issue and replace rollers, clean
or realign the track, or adjust the door as needed.
What door materials work best for cavity sliders?
Hollow core doors are lightweight and economical for most interior applications. Solid timber
doors offer better soundproofing and a premium feel. Glass panel doors allow light through
while maintaining separation between rooms.
Can I add a lock to a cavity slider door?
Yes, privacy locks and keyed locks are available for cavity sliders. These use flush-mounted
handles with integrated locks designed specifically for pocket doors. Your installer can fit
these during installation or as an upgrade.
