These effectively allowed 5/8" plywood to be installed between the metal studs which will allow items to be hung on the pocket door wall. That said, the addition of the 5/8ths offered minimal additional stability for the wall itself. Our wall is a 2x4 top plate due to space issue; if you have the space, consider a 2 x 6 top plate and your own turned 2x4 studs. We're adding 1/4 plywood on top of the studs (+1/4" drywall on top of that) and iron angle for added stability. If it's in the budget and fits with design, finishing with half inch plywood instead of drywall may add extra stability.

As everyone else had said, there were not enough screws, but I bought the extra ahead of time to be prepared for that. I cut the plywood to the specified dimensions, but that was too tight once you get the pan head screws into the side of the plywood. So I had to go back and take another 1/8" off of each panel. Then to my surprise as I was finishing up my last panel I was missing two clips, so I had to rearrange my layout and only put 3 clips on the wood framing side. It was too late to order more and I just had to go with it to avoid stopping construction. It feels sturdy and I would do it again, but this product is incomplete and pricey for what it is.

This kit came with 32 brackets. Each bracket requires 1 pan head wood screw and 2 drill point screws. For 32 brackets that works out to 32 pan head wood screws and 64 drill point screws. The single screw packet where ALL screws were mixed together included 8 flat head wood screws for the tops of the panels, 32 pan head screws and 15 drill point screws. There are not enough drill point screws to do even one panel. Sadly these are the hardest kind and size to get locally, so like other reviewers the project had to be delayed to get these critical screws. You would think with the multiple mentions of "NOT ENOUGH SCREWS" in these reviews, the manufacturer would be careful to supply them in the kit.The instructions fail to mention how many brackets to use for each panel. They illustrate one at the top, one at the bottom and 2 others on each side. Only the spacing of the top and bottom brackets is given. I assume the other two are positioned equidistant between the top and bottom. That results in using 8 brackets per panel which fits with a kit of 32 brackets-- enough for four panels.I was a bit concerned that the brackets are held to the plywood with a single screw into the edge grain. That doesn't seem to be a strong attachment. However, when mounted I can see that there is little stress on these screws and they can't back out being against the metal studs with the panel resting on the sub-floor and fastened to the wood header of the frame.The installed panel is flush with the metal studs, but the brackets are not flush with either. I judged that for my application the disadvantage of these slightly protruding brackets was offset by having a better room side surface for mounting attachments to the wall of the pocket door frame.Everything but the missing screws was anticipated before purchase of this kit, so this review is more negative than it would have been if lack of this critical element were not a chronic problem as illustrated by these reviews.

These should be part of the kit when you purchase the pocket door kit. Did not know about them until after, looking at the instructions. Purchased ours for a new wall construction, so we needed this, so you would have a nailing surface for drywall etc. NOT ENOUGH SCREWS PROVIDED. RECD 16 WHEN WHAT WAS NEEDED WAS 32 OF THE SELF TAPPING #6 1/2.

These clips allow you to place ⅝” Wood between the metal studs of the pocket doors. Hardware included. This makes the door into asort of a wall just don’t forget to use short screws!!My original need was in a small bath where I needed to attach a fiberglass tub surround. The kit will do both sides of one door. I chose to do one side of two doors as it better met my needs. I bought 2 kits and did one side of 4 doors. I used scrap Smart Siding from our build. Now I can hang various things that don’t need to go in very deep.

It’s an awesome way to spend $200 more on something no one else will know is there. ;-) The 1500 commercial grade soft open/close door kit is fairly time consuming to install really well. Afterwards the metal studs just didn’t seem robust enough once I knew this add on kit existed.This plus two $80 sheets of 19/32 plywood (July 2021 cost), and some additional #6 1/2 self tapping screws does add up on materials. This easily added several hours to the renovation project too, but I don’t have to pay myself.It makes everything more skookum so it will be worth it in the long run. It creates more of a sound barrier too.The complaints about number of screws is pretty legitimate. Just order a set of matching #6 1/2” self tapping screws so you can use all the holes in the clips. They only give you a teaser amount of self tappers. They give you enough-ish of the rest. You will want to supply your own screws for the brackets that meet your studs too. I am torn on if this screw thing should mean lower number of stars. If you bought their pocket door kit and like a beefy end result, this is the way to get there.
