It looks like exactly what I need but what is the full width of the track for the 75lb. single pocket door track? Thanks, Rob

Hey, Rob, thanks for posting! This is a great question. Take a look at the image below, which lists detailed dimensions for the 23-250 track.

Excellent. Good job. I ordered it anyway because I thought it would allow me to use a 1" door and I "assumed" that this thinner in line wheel system would allow me to build a thinner wall as well.
My situation is that I have the wall already. I need to keep the pocket door I am adding to the wall as thin as possible. Well, it arrived and upon reading the instructions, I am finding out that even with a thinner track, my wall still needs to be just as wide as it would for a 1 1/2" door. I have looked all over for a system that would allow for a thinner wall. You can imagine my disappointment when in the instructions it said to allow for 3/8" between the edge of the track and the wall. I'm like "why??" Turns out they need the space for that height adjustment bolt on the wheels or it would be scraping the wall.
I am severely disappointed as I have looked high and low for a system that would allow me to have a thinner wall. I thought what with a single lane in line track that this would be the case with this system. I have figured out a way to keep the wall thin but that would involve offsetting the wheels from the center of the 1" door to the edge. I'm not sure that this will work. I'm hesitant to try. Your thoughts? Thanks, Rob

Thanks for getting back to us. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. I'm not sure what could help, though--the 23-250 track kit is the smallest track system that I know of.
