# How to Hang a Wood Sliding Pocket Door
A pocket door takes up less space and you have the option to hide it within a wall when you want it out of the way. This kind of door is not any more difficult to install than a bifold door. Similar to a bifold door, they also work on a track system. Once the track is installed, the top of the door simply connects into the track to allow it to slide in and out of the door frame.
