This is not a complicated affair: installing your sliding doors. Therefore, it may be done so easily that in some cases you even save time and money. Below we outline how to put up sliding doors step by step installation. With such simple instructions you will make sure your sliding mirror wardrobe is perfectly placed within your room. We even help you with the acquisition of the parts needed to assemble eventually to complete installation.
Before You Start
For starters, acquire all the materials and tools which you will require to install these. Here are the things which you will require:
- Sliding wardrobe doors or those that usually come with rollers and tracks attached
- A Drill
- A Screwdriver
- Tape measure
- Level
- Marking pencil
- Screws and anchors-you should get both from the kit door
- A wrench
Once you have everything ready, you are good to go ahead with the installation!
Step 1: Measure the Space
Measure the area to install the sliding doors. Take out a tape measure and ensure you get both width and height of the space where you will install your wardrobe. Additionally, ensure that the space is large enough to allow easy sliding of the doors. It is also important to measure the width of your doors so that they will fit perfectly into the opening. Do not forget to double-check your measurements!
Step 2: Mount the Track
The first installation of the wardrobe is to install the track on which the sliding doors will slide. Mark with a pencil where the track should go. The track should be mounted at the top of the wardrobe opening.
Mark Placement
- Hold the track against the top of the wardrobe frame.
- Level the track for it to be straight.
- Mark the places where you will drill holes for the screws.
Attach the Track
- Drill holes in the wardrobe frame.
- Attach the track with screws.
- Ensure that the track is attached tightly. This will ensure that the doors slide smoothly.
Step 3: Attach the Bottom Track
The bottom track is the second part of the installation. It guides the doors and prevents them from swinging out of place.
Measure and mark the track position
- Measure and mark where the bottom track should go.
- Ensure it is aligned with the top track.
Attach the Bottom Track
- Drill holes and attach the bottom track with screws.
- Once the bottom track is installed, verify that the tracks are still in line. If they are not, adjust them so the doors can move freely.
Step 4: Put the Rollers on the Doors
Time now to put the rollers on the doors. Rollers are the parts that make sliding along the tracks smooth on doors.
Putting the Rollers On
- Place the door flat on a soft surface.
- Attach the rollers to the bottom of the doors. Two for each door, one at each end.
- Tighten the screws holding the rollers in place.
Rollers should be strongly attached. Doors will not open smoothly if attached loosely.
Hang the Doors
Attach rollers correctly, and hang the doors in place. If you are precise, this stage is not quite difficult.
Step 5: Hanging the Doors
- Lift up the door; line up the rollers with the track at the top.
- Slide the rollers gently into the top track on the wardrobe.
- Place the bottom of the door into the bottom track.
You probably should adjust the door to make it straight. If not, get a level and use it to straighten out the door.
Step 6: Level the Doors
Once the doors are hanging, you will need to level them for smooth gliding.
Adjusting the Rollers
- Check that the doors are even on both sides.
- Use a wrench to adjust the rollers. Tighten or loosen them until the door slides easily.
- Make sure the doors do not rub against the frame.
If they are still not sliding well, you may have to adjust the track or rollers. Keep doing this until they open and close without any issue.
Step 7: Put the Handles
Now that you have placed your doors, it is time to put the handles. This is a simple task that will give your wardrobe a great look.
Mark the handle placement
Now you can test all these by just opening and closing the doors so they slide smooth. Then, if there is a problem, you can easily adjust the rollers or tracks. It is advisable to check the doors after a few days to make sure they are working fine. Sometimes rollers need to be adjusted a little bit as the doors settle to their position.
- Mark the places where you would like to put the handles on the doors.
- Use a drill to mark small holes where the screws go.
Mount Handles
- Mount the handles on the doors.
- Make sure the handles are accessible and easy to grab.
Step 8: Testing the Doors
If you are installing a sliding mirror wardrobe, the process is pretty much the same. However, there are a few extra things to keep in mind.
Handling Mirrored Doors Carefully
Be extra careful when handling the mirrored doors. Mirrors can be heavy and fragile, so lift them carefully. You may need additional support for the mirrored doors to keep them from sliding too quickly or too slowly. Make sure the tracks are sturdy enough to carry the weight of the mirrored doors. A sliding mirror wardrobe makes your room appear larger and more radiant. It is an attractive addition to any home!
