Instruction

1. Projecting sliding wardrobe, consider that directing (tracks) of doors reduce internal space of construction. If width of track is 100 mm, then the useful depth of cabinet will be less dimensional at such size.

2. In practice it is desirable to recede in depth slightly more even if on centimeter. It becomes not to touch with fingers internal racks, moving cabinet doors. Very small gap between frame of door and internal parts of design can injure hands. If it is going to place in hanger cabinet perpendicular to his facade, to width of hanger it is necessary to add guide width.

3. For designing of sliding wardrobe also planned width of offices matters. It is necessary to consider the size of overlap of doors and width of open aperture. The cabinet equipped with two doors will open less than half. If the design assumes three doors, then the cabinet will open a little less than on third.

4. Depending on the used profile the overlap of doors can be miscellaneous. For the standard aluminum shape the overlap will make 25-30 mm.

5. By drawing up formula for calculation of the sizes of door it is necessary to consider the aperture width, quantity of doors and overlap. Height of door is defined by aperture height.

6. The maximum width of filling which should be considered when determining width of doors of compartment belongs to technology restrictions. For mirror and glass doors width fluctuates ranging from 910 up to 950 mm.

7. The optimum ratio of height and width of door of sliding wardrobe makes one to five. Narrower doors are predisposed to distortion during the movement. Practice shows that the best size of door – not less than 500 mm in width.

8. If you have planned drawers in design, then consider width of open aperture of doors, otherwise boxes will not move forward outside. The bottom of box should not concern cabinet floor at the movement therefore it is necessary to provide gap about 5 mm.

9. It is more convenient to do handles drowned in box facade, as "sink". Handles which come out have to allow to move to doors.

10. When using wood-shaving plate for production of shelves it is necessary to limit their length. Regiments more long than 600 mm can cave in. If you are going to put for shelves of the book, then length has to be smaller, and thickness of shelves – not less than 22 mm.

11. The most laborious occupation at design of sliding wardrobe is calculation of additives for fastening elements. Additive has to begin not closer than 40 mm from edge of part. Treat this stage of designing most honestly.
