Measuring for sliding doors

 

Opening Height:
measure the opening height at both ends and in the centre of the opening (usually from the top of your floor covering to the ceiling, allowing for carpet ,etc), take the smallest measurement as the opening height

Opening Width:
measure the opening width at the top and the bottom of the opening, take the smallest measurement as the opening width
please note that the track set will be supplied slightly longer than the opening width to allow for accurate cutting on site

End panel:
an end panel is typically used to form the end of the wardrobe when the doors are not going up to a wall. If using an end panel  the opening width would be from the inside of the end panel to the wall, or if using two end panels the opening width would be between the end panels

end panels are 2620mm high x 640mm wide x 18mm thick and you can cut them to fit.

Strike Plates:
strike plates can be used where the doors butt up to a wall to even out any irregularities in the wall, the strike plate can either be cut to fit above the skirting board or the skirting board can be cut out to allow the strike plate to fit from floor to ceiling

if using strike plates the opening width would be between the strike plates e.g. if you have measured wall to wall and you are using two strike plates you would deduct 36mm

each strike plate is 2620mm high x 100mm wide x 18mm thick and you can cut them to fit

 

 We strongly recommend that you take your measurements in millimetres to avoid possible mistakes in converting, however you may find the inches to millimetre converter below a helpful guide
