I have been fighting with my pocket door for several weeks now. Cannot find the correct rollers. Looking to replace with normal door. Any recommendations on a good carpenter?

Weatherford doors can offer the door & refer an installer

On a similar note…how big of a pain to replace a pocket door with a better pocket door? Like upgrade the system

I suspect you would need to open the wall to get it installed then sheetrock afterward. PITA

For just the door you sometimes have to remove the stop trim on top to get to the releases on the rollers. To replace the top track you have to cut holes in the drywall because it is screwed in order to access these screws.
