I need to know which one is best pocket door frame. So Far looks like Johnson makes best doors and hardware. Any comments on them. Or suggestion

Stanley makes one as well as Johnson. I prefer the premade frames. All you have to do is cut off the tail to the proper door measurement and install it, and hang the door.

I understand about the easier, but if you look a the rollers that Johnson has they are better than the Stanley, or they look better if you look at the video how they work. I kinda think that faster is not always better as far as craftsmanship goes. The rollers are the heart of a pocket door. Just my opinion.

I agree. I like the three wheeled trollies. They seem to have better balance. I also get them in the preframed models. I am just not sure who the manufacturer is. Don't think it is Johnson, however. Stanley, IMO, is an entry grade pocket door setup. But, "easier" is a good way to go if you do it for a living and can put out quality.
