This is an excellent alternative that is easy on your wallet compared to the KN Crowder pocket door kits that have soft close/open mechanisms. I thought I would try out this Johnson one on a remodel that I’m working on, and I’m impressed. Definitely a must for anyone who wants to upgrade their typical old, cheap feeling pocket door without the big price tag. Remember if you want soft close/open you’ll need two sets.

Good once you know how to install them and you need 2 per door!
First off, you need 2 kits for soft open and soft close per door slab. Each kit does open OR closed, but not both.You cannot add these to a retrofit without taking the entire track down on a single slab door. On a dual there should be a gap between the tracks to slide them in. You still need to open the wall against the door to lock the soft close in place and adjust it though.These should be installed and adjusted before you sheetrock both sides of the wall. If you’re only doing a single door you need to install the soft close kits before the track goes up. Once they’re in the track they are very easy to install and adjust (if the wall is open) and they work great. My clients haven’t had any issues with them on a handful of jobs over the last year.

Very nice to keep kids from slamming pocket doors open or shut!
I used two of these for double pocket doors with glass. Using two of them allows it to be soft close and open. So now kids (or adults) can slam the doors open or close and they land softly and fully open or close.As to durability they are doing great, they’ve been installed for over 3 years and working as good as the day I installed them.

Great function
This product is great for preventing the pocket door from bouncing back when opening or closing the door. We install them as closers which takes 10-20 minutes additional install time. As openers, they can take hours to install if the track isnât installed properly.They do not work perfectly at slowing slammed doors, as this can deactivate the catch, requiring the door to be removed to reset the mechanism.

Perfect door closing every time!
Loved the outcome and the straight-forward instructions for new installations was easy, but could also see how it might be a little inconvenient for existing installs since it requires the complete removal of the track from the frame.Overall, a great product!

We put 2 of these soft close dampers on one door to have a soft open and close on our new pocket door! Easy to install on new construction. Can be done also on existing doors with a bit more work.They work great and no more door slamming against the frame!

Itâs awesome at the soft close but if your doors assembled when it draws back into the wall you want a soft close be fore warned that youâll have to cut some drywall to get to the back of the track. Itâs a great system and super soft close itâs truly awesome.!

I love these so much, came with tools to adjust them, everything was easy to install. I wish it was not made with a plastic piece as it may not last forever but quality seems great and slow close slow open is nice. Got 4 and all worked great.
