Eclisse pocket door accessories - options to upgrade

Pocket doors offer great flexibility to users in terms of where they can be used and what they can be used for. In addition to their space-saving capabilities, pocket doors are a popular solution where people need multiple uses for the same space. Using pocket doors in an open plan setting you are able to open and close doors to create flexible spaces, which can be small and intimate during the day, and then larger and more communal in the evening. The same benefits apply in commercial spaces. But this flexibility and versatility also extends to an ability to customise your pocket door and adjust its operation to suit your personal needs.

By installing Eclisse pocket door accessories, you are able to upgrade your pocket door systems and tailor their functionality to match how you want a space to flow, and how you want your doors to operate.

How to upgrade your pocket door with Eclisse pocket door accessories

The range of pocket door accessories supplied by MB Direct can be retrofitted in most cases, but can also be incorporated into the initial installation. This provides great flexibility and allows the user to monitor how the door performs and then make a judgement on how they can amend the door’s operation to suit their needs. Pocket door accessories can bring a number of benefits, such as:

Ease of use – Make a door easier to open and close using less force.
Traffic flow – Controlling the door closing and opening speeds to ensure traffic flow is efficient and unhindered.
Health and safety – Prevent safety issues and injuries associated with opening and closing doors.
Accessibility – Help and support people with limited mobility.
Security – Protect people and property by ensuring doors are shut and locking systems can be engaged.
Energy efficiency – Improve heat retention in winter and cool air retention in summer by keeping doors closed and maintaining stable temperatures.
Noise control – Prevent doors slamming shut and also helping to prevent noise being transmitted between rooms.

The Eclisse pocket door accessories supplied by MB Direct

The range of pocket door accessories supplied by MB Direct includes:

Soft close – Also known as the anti-slam accessory, this feature can be installed to control the closing action of the door to ensure it closes softly. This is ideal for slowing down the closing speed and regulating it so that it suits your traffic flow (which is necessary in high traffic areas, and locations such as a healthcare facility or an old people’s home, for example), but it also ensures that a door properly latches and is secured shut, because the door doesn’t close too fast and with too much force. This feature also prevents the door slamming, which prevents injuries and potential damage to the door, walls and door frame. The soft close accessory can be installed on Rocket doors as well as Classic pocket doors, and can also be supplied with a soft open feature as well as a soft close feature.
Touch latch – When the pocket door opens it disappears from view and sits in the wall pocket. Although this can be adjusted, most doors sit flush in this pocket and it can therefore be hard for fingers to grab the edge of the door to then close it. Fingers can also be trapped between the pocket wall and the door when this is attempted. The touch latch accessory is installed into the exposed leading edge of the door and allows the user to push the touch latch feature to eject the door from the pocket, you can then easily grab the door to close it. This feature can be installed on Classic pocket doors as well as the Syntesis range of flush pocket doors.
Double-door co-ordination – With this accessory the user is able to link the operation of two double doors. This enables the user to apply effort to push one door open, but this actually opens both doors. This accessory can be a considerable help in settings where people have accessibility or mobility issues, or where someone using a door is always carrying something. This accessory is obviously only suitable for double doors, but can be installed on Classic or Syntesis doors.
Self-close – The self-close accessory ensures that a door closes behind someone once it has been opened. This is ideal for fire safety compliance but is also useful for security, energy efficiency and generally managing traffic flow. This accessory can be installed on Rocket doors, as well as on single and double pocket doors.
