Some
useful hints
Doors can be fitted straight into existing openings without the need for any
framework. It is usually o.k. to fit the bottom track on top of the carpet. However, if
the walls, floor and ceiling are untrue or the carpet is a very deep pile it is best to
fit battens first so the doors will fit into a straight and true opening. The top track
does not carry any weight and can usually be fixed with cavity fixings through the
plasterboard ceiling.
When they are new some of the painted surfaces make a hissing sound from
the top track. This will die out as they get run-in, but you can speed up this process by
rubbing the inside of the top track with wire wool, you will hear when the paint gets
smooth. A spray with either wax or silicone polish will make the doors glide like silk.
