    Do you mean the hardware at the tops of the doors or the handles, latches on the front of the doors. We have antique pocket doors in our house and 1) you have to have openings in the walls 2) I don't know if the hardware that the doors run on are done before walls are completely up or what, but I would say not a job for an amateur.

    Pocket doors come preinstalled into the frame and pocket.
