How to install your sliding wardrobe doors
1. Cut the tracks
Carefully measure the width of the opening at top and bottom, and reduce the lengths measured by about 2-3 mm. Measure off the required track length, marking the future cut line on the tracks. Use a fine-toothed metal cutting saw to cut off the redundant part of the tracks.
Advice:The tracks to be installed should be about 50 mm longer than the opening width. This spare length will make it possible to avoid measurement errors and it is easy to trim. Take care not to damage the track surface while cutting. In order to facilitate top track cutting, insert 38 mm thick wood blocks or a reversed piece of track into the track. This will prevent track deflection during the cutting process.
2. Install the top track
Fix the top track with screws, offsetting its flat surface by 5 mm from the door face (inwards). Install the top track with the shade line facing forward in order to mask ceiling irregularities. If a multiple-track system is installed, fix the other tracks so that they fit tightly against each other along the entire length.
Advice: Before you start installation use a detector to make sure there is no electrical wiring at the screw fixing points. Avoid applying excessive force when tightening screws to prevent track deformation. Use flat-head screws for best results. The surface to which the track is fixed must not be curved.
3. Install the door
Lay the bottom track on the floor, offsetting it about 27 mm from the door face (inwards). Use a Philips screwdriver and the adjusting bolt to move bottom rollers out about 10 mm. Fully insert the door leaf in the top track, taking care not to damage the bottom rollers, then align the bottom end of the door leaf with the bottom track and slowly lower the leaf, letting the rollers snap into the track guides.
Advice: Before you install the doors, put a cardboard sheet on the bottom track to prevent damage to track surface. When the doors are already in position, remove the protective cardboard.
4. Install the bottom track
Use a level to make sure the door is exactly plumb; move the bottom track as necessary. Check if the door travels smoothly along the entire width of the opening. Having precisely set the bottom track, fasten it to the floor. Having installed the track, put the other door leaves in their respective tracks.
Advice: Before you fix the bottom track, make sure that it is positioned exactly parallel to the top track. With soft floor covering, before you fix the bottom track, cut out a strip of about 55 mm in width and replace it with a 55 mm timber batten. Alternatively, put a 100 mm floor batten between the floor covering and the bottom track. Avoid applying excessive force when tightening screws to prevent track deformation. Use flat -head screws for best results.
5. Adjust door position
Adjust door position by means of a Philips screwdriver and the adjusting bolts in the bottom rollers so that the doors fit tightly against the wall along the entire length. Door-to-floor clearance is adjustable between 10 and 40 mm (2 to 32 mm from the bottom track).
6. Fix the buffer and dust-stop brush strips
Having installed the doors, remove protective backing from the door profiles. With the backing removed, you can fix the buffer strips and the dust-stop brush strips. To ensure good adhesion of the brush strips to the profiles, gently clean the profiles with alcohol or white spirit. Fix the strips, working from top to bottom. Cut off excess strip.
7. Fix the buffer strip clip
To fix the clip 099249 or 099249A, the door must first be installed and adjusted. After that operation, fix the buffer strip and then mount the clip. For easier and correct installation, we recommend that the door should be taken off the tracks.
Advice: For details of the buffer strip clip installation see separate instructions, “Technical information– fixing the buffer strip clip” available on our website in the section designated for Authorised Partners.
8. Fix the buffer strip clip
Fix the positioner 099265 to the top track so that it fits against the middle part of the track at an appropriate distance from the wall. Cut the positioner 099259PLS to the right size and fix in the middle of the top track so that the door abuts on the side wall of the unit when closed.
For the Montreal profile
x = 32 mm, where no buffer strip is used,
x = 37 mm, where a buffer strip is used.
For the Halifax profile
x = 32 mm, where no buffer strip is used,
x = 37 mm, where a buffer strip is used.
1. Install pivot pins
Set and fix the top and bottom pivot pins, offsetting them 34 mm inwards from the door face and at the following distance from the side wall:
x = 55 mm for the Halifax profile
x = 48mm for the Concord profile
x = 43 mm for the Montreal profile
Note: When fixing the pivot <?>base, use screws with a head diameter of not more than 8 mm.
2. Set the door in place
Use a Philips screwdriver and the adjusting bolts to insert the pivot socket slides in the connectors about 20 mm. Move the sockets outwards and fasten the socket fixing screw. Put the door upright so that the connectors with pivot sockets are aligned with the axis of the fixed pivot pins. The door should be in an open position. While turning the adjusting bolt, slip the bottom pivot socket slide out so that the socket is aligned with the pin and the door lifts slightly. Then slip out the top sliding pivot socket so that it is aligned with the pin, allowing for minimal play.
Advice: Exercise special care when installing doors. This operation should be performed by two persons.
3. Adjust the door
Using a Philips screwdriver and adjusting bolts in the top and bottom <?>connectors, adjust the door height. The door-to-floor/ceiling distance is adjustable between 3 and 20 mm.
4. Fix the buffer strips
Having installed the doors, remove safety backing from the door profiles. With the backing removed, you can fix the buffer strips. To ensure good adhesion of the strips to the profiles, gently clean the profiles with alcohol or white spirit. Fix the strips, working your way from top to bottom. Cut off excess strip.
Advice: Owing to a large gap between the wall and door, it is recommended that you use a dust stop brush strip instead of a buffer strip.
5. Fix the buffer strip clip
To fix the clip 099249 or 099249A, the door must first be installed and adjusted. After that operation, fix the buffer strip and then mount the clip. For easier and correct installation, we recommend that the door should be taken off the tracks.
Advice: For details of the buffer strip clip installation see separate instructions, “Technical information– fixing the buffer strip clip” available on our website in the section designated for Authorised Partners.
6. Fix the magnetic latch
Having adjusted the door, close it, place the magnetic latch at the door leaf, mark the position and open the door. Fix the magnetic latch to the floor/ceiling/wall.
Note: The latch keeps the door in a stable position when closed.
1. Cut the tracks
Carefully measure the width of the opening at top and bottom, and reduce the lengths measured by about 2-3 mm. Measure off the required track length, marking the future cut line on the tracks. Use a fine-toothed metal cutting saw to cut off the redundant part of the tracks.
Advice: The tracks to be installed should be about 50 mm longer than the opening width. This spare length will make it possible to avoid measurement errors and it is easy to trim. In order to facilitate top track cutting, insert 38 mm thick wood blocks or a reversed piece of track into the track. This will prevent track deflection during the cutting process.
2. Install the top track
Fix the top track with screws, offsetting its flat surface by 2 mm from the door face (inwards). Install the top track with the shade line facing forward in order to mask ceiling irregularities. If a multiple-track system is installed, fix the other tracks so that they fit tightly against each other along the entire length.
Advice: Avoid applying excessive force when tightening screws to prevent track deformation. Use flat-head screws for best results. The surface to which the track is fixed must not be curved.
3. Fix stoppers and positioners in the bottom track
If the track is to be fitted with bottom positioners and stoppers, slip them into the respective tracks before fixing. Fully in-sert the door leaf in the top track, taking care not to damage the bottom rollers, then align the bottom end of the door leaf with the bottom track and slowly lower the leaf, letting the rollers snap into the tracks.
For door weights under 12 kg use positioner 099259A.
For door weights between 12 kg and 25 kg use positioner 099259.
For door weights between 25 kg and 50 kg use positioner 099259B.
4. Install the door
Lay the bottom track on the floor, offsetting it from the door face (inwards) by about:
x = 11mm – Calgary Victoria Edmonton Hudson Quebec, profile
x = 18mm – Niagara Windsor profile
If the track is to be fitted with bottom positioners, slip them into the respective tracks before fixing. Fully insert the door leaf in the top track, taking care not to damage the bottom rollers, then align the bottom end of the door leaf with the bottom track and slowly lower the leaf, letting the rollers snap into the tracks.
Advice: Before you install the doors, put a cardboard sheet on the bottom track to prevent damage to track surface. When the doors are alrea-dy in position, remove the protective cardboard.
5. Install the bottom track
Use a level to make sure the door is exactly plumb; move the bottom track as necessary. Check if the door travels smoothly along the entire width of the opening. Having precisely adjusted the door position, install the other door leaves in their respective tracks.
Advice: Before you fix the bottom track, make sure that it is positioned exactly parallel to the top track. With soft floor covering, be-fore you fix the bottom track, cut out a strip of about 55 mm in width and replace it with a 55 mm timber batten. Alternatively, put a 100 mm floor batten between the floor covering and the bottom track. Avoid applying excessive force when tightening screws to prevent track deformation. Use flat-head screws for best results.
6. Adjust door position
Adjust door position by means of the adjusting bolts in the bottom rollers so that the doors fit tightly against the wall along the entire length. Door-to-floor clearance is adjustable between 11 and 20 mm (3 to 12 mm from the bottom track).
7. Fix the top track stopper
Before fixing the stopper, drill through-holes with a 4 mm drill bit. Then fix the stopper to the ceiling (upper wall) using screws suitable for the ceiling/wall material. If you install an end cap in the top track, insert the cap tabs between the track and the ceiling before finally fastening the stopper screws.
8. Adjust the bottom stopper and top stopper
Having installed the top track stopper, adjust the position of the stopper 099275 set in the bottom track. To do this, slide the door to the top stopper as shown in Fig. 1 and push the bottom stopper to the wheel edge (Fig. 2). Fasten the bottom stopper screw with a 1.5 mm Allen key to prevent its dislocation when the door is used.
9. Fix the positioner/stopper
Insert the positioner/stopper into the bottom track before is installation. After the bottom track is fixed to the floor, tighten the positioner with an M3x8 ISO 4026 set screw (the key and the screw are delivered in the kit). Remount the door and in-stall it in the right position. The distance between the positioner and the end of the track “X” depends on the stile (vertical profile) used. This way you can easily verify if the positioner is fixed properly and in which direction it should be moved if needed.
The positioner can be used in all bottom tracks:
– single 153000xx,
– double 153250xx,
– wide recessed single track 153260xx,
– narrow recessed single track 153255xx.

x = 27 mm for the Niagara Windsor profiles
y = 45 mm for the Calgary Victoria profiles
y = 39 mm for the Niagara Windsor profiles
y = 49 mm for the Quebec profiles
y = 54 mm for the Yukon Edmonton Hudson profiles
Advice: When fixing the pivot socket, set the screws at the centres of the oblong holes, which will enable you to adjust the position in both directions.
2. Set the door in place
Rest the door on the bottom pivot socket, putting it upright, and turn the top pivot socket. Then unscrew the bottom pivot pin, so that the door rises and fits tightly against the top pivot socket. Use a level to plumb the door and reposition the top pivot socket if necessary.
Advice: Exercise special care when setting the door in place. This operation should be performed by two persons.
3. Adjust the door
Door-to-floor clearance can be adjusted between 10 and 20 mm by screwing the pivot pins in or out.
4. Fix the magnetic latch
Having adjusted the door, close it, place the magnetic latch at the door leaf, mark the position and open the door. Fix the magnetic latch to the floor/ceiling/wall.
Note: The latch keeps the door in a stable position when closed.
5. Fix the caps
Having installed and adjusted the door leaves, cover all installation holes by inserting the plugs 16000080 or by sticking the caps 16000090 or 16000085.
6. Fix the brush strips and buffer strips
To ensure good adhesion of the brush strips to the profiles, gently clean the profiles with alcohol or white spirit. Fix the strips, working your way from top to bottom. Cut off excess strip.
7. Fix the buffer strip clip
To fix the clip 099249 or 099249A, the door must first be installed and adjusted. After that operation, fix the buffer strip and then mount the clip. For easier and correct installation, we recommend that the door should be taken off the tracks.
Advice: For details of the buffer strip clip installation see separate instructions, “Technical information– fixing the buffer strip clip” available on our website in the section designated for Authorised Partners.
8. Fix the decorative strips
Having adjusted the door leaf height, mark the levels where decorative strips are to be fixed to the door leaves. For each leaf, carefully measure the distance between the stiles. Then cut the decorative strips to the required lengths and fix do-uble-sided self-adhesive tape 16000005 (0.8 mm thick) to the strips. Remove the protective tape and, bending the strip slightly, put it between the stiles and press against the panel.
1. Installation of the universal soft closer in aluminium systems
Fasten the universal soft closer 09923X to the narrow rail by means of adapters and 3.5 x 23 screws (aluminium system soft closer accessories). Having fastened the closer, release the activator on the door, so it sits inthe position shown, then measure the distance “X” from the closing edge of the door.
2. Installation of the soft closer trigger
Screw the activator plate into the track so that the bar is the same distance from the wall (“X”). First screw the main plate to the track, and then a single screw through the piece that rotates down to hold it up in position. This last single screw and the grub screw allows you to adjust the height of the bar if required.
Install the door and adjust the height of the door, so the soft close unit meets the activator plate.
