Robert Lamoureux | The Mystery of the Squeaking Pocket Door
August 1, 2026 4:12 am
Question: Hi Robert, I have a pocket door that is making a “grinding/squeaking” noise, as it is operated. Is this something I can investigate on my own, or do I need to call a professional in for it? Who would I call? Thanks for your help. — Roger L. Answer: Roger, if you are patient and decent with tools, you can give this a go. It is likely a shift in materials. This happens over time with doors and such, with houses settling. Carefully remove the trim surrounding the pocket door frame, exercise the door and see if that is where it was catching. If this is the case, shave down the trim so that there is clearance between the two, and reinstall. Caulk and paint as needed. If, by chance, this was not the issue, you will likely have to open drywall to investigate further. Best of luck. Robert Lamoureux has more than 40 years of experience as a general contractor, with separate licenses in electrical and plumbing contracting. He
