How to make sliding doors

Sliding interroom doors have many advantages. But nevertheless there are such situations when to establish ready sliding door there is no physical capacity. However at due desire and creative approach to objective sliding interroom door it is possible to make with own hands. And that to make it, for a start it is necessary to know something. So, have gone.

Instruction

1. Before undertaking autographic production of sliding interroom door, it is necessary to consider design features of factory sliding doors. Two main types of sliding mechanisms are allocated: the mechanism for sliding doors the directing roller from below and the mechanism with the top roller.

2. Distinctive feature of the sliding doors having the top directing roller is the fact that the door kind of is groundless. All rail design of door is located above. Plus such design – lack of the lower rail and threshold that allows to stack floor covering without restrictions.

3. Doors with the lower guides roller represent such system: the lower rail with roller on which the cloth of door and the top guide with rollers which hold door in aperture leans. Such design is more difficult in installation, but it is stable and very reliable. Availability of the lower guide belongs to minuses as it rather complicates laying of any floor covering.

4. And now we start directly production of sliding doors. At once it is necessary to make a reservation that we because here everything is extremely clear will not consider production of cloth of door. It is only necessary to get cloth of the necessary sizes (for example, to take cloth from old door). There are two ways of production of sliding doors. Now it is possible to find ready mechanisms for sliding doors, and these mechanisms are various. They go already, as a rule, complete with various lengths guides. It is simple to pick up optimal variant. Also the scheme of mounting in which all necessary sizes are specified is attached to mechanisms.

5. Similar mechanisms are divided into two types: hinged and built in. The second mask in body of door and them it is not visible in use. Though their installation usually requires availability of milling cutter (though it is possible to manage also chisel) for sample of grooves. This option is considered the best. And laid on mechanisms are noticeable at operation, however they it is much simpler in mounting.

6. The second way is simpler, than the first, but demands more expenses. Measure the sizes of door opening and add to them about 6 cm across, and down – from 10 to 15 cm. With these sizes go to furniture firm and you ask to make to you door for sliding wardrobe. Also specify that the door will be only one. It is necessary that the rail was not with two guides, and with one. When the door together with the mechanism is ready, it will be simple to you to establish it independently. That's it.
