Key Features

Smart Design with Space in Mind

In a home where every view counts, traditional swing doors can be a hindrance. That’s why the designers opted for CS Cavity Sliders Pocket Door Frames. These doors disappear into the wall cavity, maximizing usable floor area and maintaining visual openness throughout key living spaces.

The master suite, in particular, benefits greatly from the pocket door layout. Installed in four key locations, CS Cavity Sliders ensure spatial flow is never compromised:

A pocket door between the master bedroom and the hallway
A pocket door leading into the master bathroom
A pocket door separating the shower from the vanity area
A pocket door partitioning the laundry/pantry room from the kitchen

These placements eliminate the intrusion of swinging doors, keeping walkways and sight lines clear—an essential factor in homes with open-plan living and premium views.

Hardware That Complements and Performs

Every pocket door in the Dana Point home features matte black hardware, delivering a sleek, modern finish that contrasts beautifully with the lighter coastal tones of the interior. Functionality meets form with the inclusion of CaviLock CL400 Magnetic handles, chosen in a mix of privacy and passage options.

CL400 Magnetic hardware provides a clean, flush appearance, ideal for contemporary interiors. Its magnetic latching system offers smooth, secure operation, with minimal resistance and satisfying closure. The privacy versions are perfect for bathrooms, while passage options suit transitional doors between rooms.

More Key Features

Smooth, Soft, Seamless Closures

Each pocket door in the home is compatible with the CS SoftStop mechanism—a must-have for high-end homes. This dampening system ensures doors close gently and quietly, enhancing user experience while protecting walls and finishes from slamming.

The twin room in the home also required a solution for closet access that wouldn’t interrupt the flow or consume space. Here, the CS TopMountTrack Double Bypass system was installed—a sleek overhead track solution that supports sliding wardrobe doors. Twin CS SoftStops were also integrated, ensuring each panel glides to a smooth, quiet close. This compact design approach maximizes usable space within the bedroom while maintaining a minimalist, clean aesthetic.

Beyond Pocket Doors: Custom Track Systems for Your Closet

While we are renowned for our premium pocket door frames, this project highlights the broader scope of our product line. Our CS track systems were also utilized in this home and can be tailored to suit various applications beyond traditional pocket door installations.

Our track systems, such as the CS TopMountTrack used in this home, are ideal for creating space-efficient sliding wardrobes and closets. By using CS SoftStop on both doors, this bypass track system delivers the same luxurious feel found throughout the home’s other sliding door applications.

Designed for Builders, Architects, and Designers

In this Dana Point Coastal Homes project, Jake Hiemstra and his team exemplified their commitment to excellence. They seamlessly integrated modern design elements with the home's beachy aesthetic, utilizing materials like white walls, pine ceiling beams, and wooden floors to create an airy, open atmosphere. Their meticulous attention to detail ensured that features such as pocket doors and bypass track systems not only enhanced functionality but also complemented the home's overall design.

The Dana Point Coastal Homes project is a testament to the importance of details in high-end residential construction. By incorporating CS Cavity Sliders throughout the home, the builders and designers have not only elevated the aesthetic but also delivered a more functional, space-optimized living experience.

From the consistent visual flow in the primary suite to the smart, compact solution in the twin room, every application showcases the potential of sliding door systems in modern coastal homes. For builders, architects, and designers, this project is a blueprint in balancing high performance with high design.
