STEP 1 - Fit end panels or strike plates if using End panels - Cut as required to fit exactly between floor and ceiling and scribe over skirting board. Fix to back wall, floor and ceiling with the fixing blocks and screws provided. Ensure ceiling fixing block is approx. 100mm from front edge of end panel to clear top track.

STEP 2 - Trim tracks
Cut the top and bottom track to fit exactly between the strike plates and end panels. Support track with wood block. Using fine tooth hacksaw trim top and bottom track to size.

 

 

STEP 3 - Install tracks
Fix top track to ceiling and bottom track to floor. Front edge of top track should be flush with front of opening. Rear of top and bottom track should be plumb.

No weight is carried on the top track so the fixings do not need to have great structural strength. The bottom track can be screwed to the floor over the carpet or if fitting to laminate or tiles etc this can be fixed with double sided adhesive tape.

 

 

STEP 4 - Install doors
Install rear doors first. Raise doors and insert guide into top track. Set bottom of doors into floor track channels the anti jump mechanism will click into place.

 

 

 

STEP 5 - Adjust doors
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust doors vertically and fit plumb to side walls or panels, ensure that the doors are not scraping on the bottom track.

 

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 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.
