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.

Strike plates - Cut to fit exact height from floor to ceiling and cut out skirting as required, or cut to fit from top of skirting as shown in the illustrations. Fix to wall with the screws and plugs provided.

STEP 2 - Trim tracks

The top and bottom track are supplied slightly longer than required to allow for variation in the size of the room. They can be cut to fit on site.

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. If the top track has a vinyl trim, take extra care when cutting - we recommend cutting the vinyl first with a sharp stanley knife to avoid any ripping by the hacksaw blade.

 

 

Important: before installing the bottom track, ensure that the door positioners, 1 per door, are slotted into the grooves in the track.

The positioners can be moved to line up to the wheel after the doors are installed
 

 A 2 door configuration will have 1 positioner on the front & 1 on the rear track.
A 3 door configuration will have 2 positioners on the rear & 1 on the front track.
A 4 door configuration will have 2 positioners on the front & 2 on the rear track.
A 5 door configuration will have 3 positioners on the rear & 2 on the front track.
 

 

Fix top track to ceiling and bottom track to floor. Front edge of top track should be flush with front of opening. Front edge of bottom track should be set back 9mm from the front edge of the top track.

No weight is carried on the top track so the fixings do not need to have great structural strength. The bottom track should be fitted directly onto a flat level floor or a strike plate, either screw fixed or by adhesive or double sided adhesive tape.

 

 

STEP 4 - Install doors

Install rear doors first. Raise doors and insert guide wheels into top track (fig 1)

Keeping the bottom corner protectors in place will enable you to sit the bottom of the door onto the bottom track and avoid scratching the track (pic 2). It will also assist in lifting up the wheels into the housing to enable you to move the door over the groove (pic 3). Ensure the door is properly in place with the wheel over the groove before removing the corner protector, and allow the wheel to drop into the groove.

You are now able to move the door,

STEP 5 - Adjust doors
Slide the brush pile strip upwards to reveal the bottom hole, using the allen key provided you can adjust the door vertically.

 

Some useful hints
Doors can be fitted straight into existing openings without the need for any framework. However, if the walls, floor and ceiling are untrue it is best to fit battens first so the doors will fit into a straight and true opening. You can use our strike plates for this. The top track does not carry any weight and can usually be fixed with cavity fixings through the plasterboard ceiling.
