A pocket door that drags, jumps its track, rattles on a bent hanger or will not latch is a repair: we swap hangers, reset the trolleys and replace the privacy lock without touching drywall. A bowed split jamb, a sagging header track, a swollen slab or a cavity crushed by a stray drywall screw means replacement. A repair restores the door you have; a replacement resets the whole in-wall system.
At King Locksmith And Doors Inc., we repair when the cavity frame is straight and the fix will outlast the door’s remaining life; we recommend replacement when jamb, track and slab are failing together. Older DMV rowhouses often hide original wood-track frames that no current hanger fits, which settles the question. Let us look before you decide.
King Locksmiths reaches most of the Maryland & DC within 20 to 50 minutes with hangers, guides and locks on the truck. Call and your pocket door glides tonight.
Pocket door hardware lives inside the wall. Across 25 years in Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia our vetted technicians have serviced Johnson Hardware, Hafele and Eclisse frames, rehung century-old rowhouse doors and set solid-core slabs in new condos.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured, ALOA and SAVTA members, locally awarded, and a Leading Door Hardware Brands Supplier, so genuine hangers fit the first time.
Every pocket door repair is quoted in writing before work starts, replacement estimates are free, and the invoice matches the quote. Three things move the number:
A pocket door jammed across a bathroom or bedroom doorway is a privacy problem tonight, not next week, and one stuck open in a medical suite shuts down an exam room. We dispatch technicians already on the road throughout the DMV, so most calls see a truck in 20 to 50 minutes. Same-day slots, a tech who knows your ZIP, and no out-of-area dispatcher.

King Locksmith And Doors Inc. explains where your door lands and prices hanger, soft-close or full-frame options side by side.
Repairs run through the jamb opening; replacements get a new cavity frame set plumb, then drywall patched and sanded smooth.
We cycle the door repeatedly, confirm it stops flush, latches and clears the floor guide, then walk you through care.
Pocket doors are one specialty; our technicians repair and replace every residential and commercial door type across the DMV.
