   in my opinion there ain't no such thing .. find a supplier of the hardware and frame your own, the frames around here are #### ..

   Thanks for mentioning Johnson. Local lumber yards here stock Cox, but Johnson's stuff looks better from what I can see online.I need to replace rollers for a lady who has an old Acme double pocket door. I was surprised to see that Johnson also has replacement rollers for those old ones that are made in USA and much better than the Chinese stuff that Slideco/Primeline offers.If those rollers don't make enough of an improvement for her, I may just tear out the existing track and install a track and ball bearing trolleys kit from Johnson.BruceT

   Edit: misread your title.  Didn't realise you were looking for frames and not tracks.  But I agree with previous poster.  Buy the best track you can afford and make your own frame.

    

   take a look at the Hawa brand of sliding door tracks.  http://www.hawa.ch/hawa/index.php?L=1

   Hafele is a distributor for the Hawa hardware.  http://www.hafele.com/us/services/4455.asp

   They are very expensive but you probably won't find anything better.

    

   KN Crowder also makes excellent hardware at a reasonable price.

   Hawa's nice, but the Johnson I beam is plenty good. For frames, we have done a couple of jobs with parallams, pretty flat and stable and stiff.http://www.tvwsolar.com

   We'll have a kid

   Or maybe we'll rent one

   He's got to be straight

   We don't want a bent one

   He'll drink his baby brew

   From a big brass cup

   Someday he may be president

   If things loosen up

   Thanks everyone.

   I appreciate the advice on the HAWA assemblies, but I think I'll go with the Johnson frames.

   I have never used a frame already assembled. I get the Johnson pocket door kit and make my own frame, but I am sure that there ready assembled must be similar quality. I have never had a problem with the Johnson hardware and have installed well over a hundred of them.

   I believe, in the started a house today thread, hubcap shows a Johnson quick frame that looks pretty interesting.http://www.tvwsolar.com
