Accessible, inclusive home environments have become more of a necessity as remote and hybrid lifestyles have become more popular in recent years. Included within the push to meet this demand are ADA-compliant pocket door frame systems, which are intended for use both within the workplace as well as homes.
As an increase in remote working has led to a record high employment rate for disabled workers, the push for accessible home design is growing stronger, with mobility, safety, and independence being priorities. Johnson Hardware’s 1500SC Series pocket door kit is a solution to meeting these needs within residential spaces. The ADA-compliant design allows for easy passage through wider doorways and smooth, low-effort operation that only requires 5 pounds of force to slide.
The 1500SC pocket doors are perfect for accessible home offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared living areas. Sliding into the wall cavity, they occupy no floor space and are simple to operate. Made for durability, they feature ball-bearing hanger wheels for smooth gliding, soft-open and soft-close functionality, and are compatible with both wood and steel-framed walls. The design is flexible and offers a range of layouts that can accommodate single or converging door configurations.
