pocket door

Slides into wall

A pocket door is a sliding door that retracts into a compartment in the adjacent wall rather than swinging open on hinges.

Pocket doors save floor space in tight areas like bathrooms or closets: The pocket door between the kitchen and dining room disappeared into the wall.

They require thicker walls to accommodate the hidden cavity.
