I plan on installing a pocket door on a 1/2-bathroom. I've seen the kits advertised on the internet (include split studs and sliding hardware), but when I went to buy one at the local Lowes & HD I found they only carry pre-built pocket door frames.
Am I better off with these prebuilt frames or should I keep looking for the kits? I guess I'm concerned about the quality of the track hardware that is included with the prebuilt frame. Also, it doesn't appear as if these frames provide intermediate split studs for fastening the drywall.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
