HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WARDROBE GUIDE
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEASURING FOR YOUR NEW WARDROBE
Accurate measurements are required to ensure your new sliding wardrobe doors fit perfectly.
This can be achieved if follow the steps outlined in this guide.
Please Note: You do not need to do any calculations for door sizes.
All you need to do is provide us with the overall measurements of the wardrobe door opening and we will do the rest.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Tape Measure
• Spirit Level
• Pen & Paper to record measurements
STEP 1
Measure the overall opening height, on the left and right side.
If the heights are different enter the lowest height when ordering your doors.
Refer to the additional information section below for what to do if you floor isn’t level. (below)
If you have existing tracks take your measurement from the floor, not the existing track.
STEP 2
Measure the width of the opening.
When measuring the width.
If you have trouble measuring a wide span the following tip is a good way to get accurate measurements.
Tip: From one side, measure out to 1000mm (1 metre) and make a small mark with your pen/pencil.
Next, from the opposite side, measure the distance to the 1000mm mark.
By adding these two measurements together, you will get a very accurate width measurement
STEP 3
Existing Door Jambs
Measure the door jambs (top, bottom & sides) and make sure that they are at least 83mm wide.
This is to ensure that the top and bottom tracks will actually fit in the opening.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Use a spirit level to ascertain how level the floor is. Our doors are made with adjustable wheels that can be easily adjusted to avoid doors rolling open.
If the floor is significantly uneven (more than 15mm over a 1500mm span), a good option is to install a floor packer. The floor packer would need to be either packed up or planed down to make it level.
If the new doors are to be installed on carpet, you will be required to fit a 82mm x 16mm floor packer on top of the carpet between the jambs for the doors to roll on.
This will be supplied for free.
Door tracks can be fixed directly onto timber floors, door jambs, concrete and tiled floors
