Sliding and pocket door handles are becoming more essential as architects, designers and property owners are turning to pocket and sliding door solutions to save space and improve accessibility. They enable a smooth transition between rooms and are ideal for tight spaces where traditional doors would obstruct movement. However, these types of doors require specialized handles that vary depending on the situation of the application. Sugatsune offers an array of sliding door handles that are designed to level up the performance of your sliding door as well as enhance the aesthetics of your designs.
Precision-Engineered Solutions for Sliding and Pocket Doors
Many of our pocket door pulls are precision-engineered entirely from high-grade stainless steel, delivering superior durability, structural integrity, and corrosion resistance vital for diverse architectural applications. This material specification ensures long-term mechanical performance that will meet stringent requirements of engineers and architects. Some of our most popular pocket door handles are designed to have a dual function of providing a means to open and close the sliding door but also as a pull to extract the door out of a pocket.
We offer a variety of styles and finishes allowing designers precise control over design coordination with other specified materials and fixtures. Architects, designers, and engineers require these specialized handles for projects implementing space-saving sliding or pocket doors. They provide essential, reliable functionality and access control, contribute to minimalist design goals, and uphold the project’s technical standards for material quality and operational efficiency, ensuring seamless integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a pocket door latch ensure secure door closure?
Typically utilizing an edge-mounted mechanism, pocket door latches employ a hook or bolt that engages with a strike plate in the jamb, providing positive locking within the confined door structure. Privacy versions of pocket door handles incorporate a thumb-turn mechanism for locking from the interior, while passage latches facilitate non-locking operations. Precise alignment during installation is crucial for reliable engagement and long-term function.
What are the primary types of pocket door pulls?
These door pulls are primarily flush-mount or edge pulls. Flush pulls recess into the door face for minimal projection, maintaining a clean aesthetic, while edge pulls mount into the door edge for retrieving the door when fully retracted. Material selection, often stainless steel for durability, and finish options allow coordination with overall project design specifications and hardware schedules.
What sliding door handle solutions exist for sliding door systems?
Options include flush pulls, recessed handles, and surface-mounted pulls, often engineered from robust materials like stainless steel for durability. Selection criteria involve door weight, required grip force, aesthetic integration, and the operational frequency specified for the application. Like pocket door handles, specific designs may incorporate locking mechanisms for security and compatibility with door material, and thickness must be verified for proper specification.
