The goal when measuring your jamb for our exterior steel sliding doors is to get the measurement from the outermost finishing of your exterior (stucco, brick, concrete, wood, etc.) to the face of the drywall inside. To get this measurement, make sure that you're including all parts of the building materials and the finishings.

Lift and Slide Pocket Slider

Lift and Slide Pocket Slider

Our exterior pocket sliding doors' jamb sizes will vary depending on width:

• Up to 96" - 7.2" Jamb (2 PANELS)
• 108" - 144" - 9.9" Jamb (3 PANELS)
• 154" - 164" - 12.7" Jamb (4 PANELS)
• 184" - 15.4" Jamb (5 PANELS)

PINKYS Exterior Pocket Sliders now come standard with Lift & Slide Hardware. A large rotating handle provides the leverage needed to raise the door from its resting position with a single hand, allowing it to slide freely on its track. Simply lower the handle again to lock the door in place.

These standard steel exterior pocket sliding doors come filled with a polyurethane foam core, which acts as a sound deadening material, and also provides some insulating properties for better energy efficiency. The foam also helps prevent moisture from accumulating inside the steel tubes, contributing to the door's longevity.

Please note, this foam should not be confused with a thermally broken barrier. For more extreme weather conditions dropping below 27 degrees Fahrenheit, please inquire about our thermal break models.

These standard steel exterior center split bi-fold door frames feature welded mounting tabs designed to be installed from the interior of your space. The tabs are inset to allow for 5/8” drywall to be installed flush with the face of the frame. Each tab features two pre-drilled lag holes for a more flexible installation, though only one lag bolt per tab is required.

These standard steel exterior pocket sliding door leafs come standard at 2” thick, providing both security and durability.

Steel doors offer many more enhanced security features when compared to their wood, fiberglass, vinyl, or aluminum counterparts. These standard steel exterior sliding doors are made with cold-rolled air series steel, which contains a galvanized mix to help prevent corrosion and rust over time. A unique feature of this cold-rolled air series steel is that it is made from a single, continuous piece of rolled metal, eliminating the need for additional welds and fillers. This results in a stronger, more durable product, eliminating weak points from paint cracking and water intrusion.

How do I measure my jamb?

The goal is to get the measurement from the outermost finishing of your exterior (stucco, brick, concrete, wood, etc.) to the drywall inside. 

How thick are your exterior pocket sliding door jambs? 

These exterior steel sliding door jambs vary by door width. As the width of your door increases, so does the number of panels, which in turn increases the overall width of the unit.

• Up to 96" - 7.2" Jamb (2 PANELS)
• 108" - 144" - 9.9" Jamb (3 PANELS)
• 154" - 164" - 12.7" Jamb (4 PANELS)
• 184" - 15.4" Jamb (5 PANELS)

Is the jamb the same thing as the frame? 

The jamb refers to the vertical components of the overall door frame. The jamb size refers to the thickness of those vertical components.

How does the frame mount to the wall?

These standard steel exterior pocket sliding doors feature welded mounting tabs designed to be installed from the interior of your space. The tabs are inset to allow for 5/8” drywall to be installed flush with the face of the frame. Each tab features two pre-drilled lag holes for a more flexible installation, though only one lag bolt per tab is required. Bolt through applications or nailer fins are available via request through our custom sales team.

Is the jamb included with the door?

Yes, the jamb is a component of the frame, which is made specifically for the door that it is packaged with.

Is the jamb/frame galvanized or zinc coated?

Yes, these exterior steel sliding door jambs and frames contain a galvanized mix to help prevent corrosion, rust, and finish issues when exposed to damp or moist conditions over time.

How is the jamb insulated?

We use a polyurethane foam filling in our exterior steel sliding doors jambs for sound deadening purposes, which also provides some insulating properties. Please note, this foam should not be confused with a thermally broken barrier. For more extreme weather conditions dropping below 27 degrees Fahrenheit, please inquire about our thermal break models.
