Stanley makes one as well as Johnson. I prefer the premade frames. All you have to do is cut off the tail to the proper door measurement and install it, and hang the door.

Arrow Better rollers

I understand about the easier, but if you look a the rollers that Johnson has they are better than the Stanley, or they look better if you look at the video how they work. I kinda think that faster is not always better as far as craftsmanship goes. The rollers are the heart of a pocket door. Just my opinion.

I agree. I like the three wheeled trollies. They seem to have better balance. I also get them in the preframed models. I am just not sure who the manufacturer is. Don't think it is Johnson, however. Stanley, IMO, is an entry grade pocket door setup. But, "easier" is a good way to go if you do it for a living and can put out quality.
