Measeure the width of the base of your opening. Mark a corresponding line accross the BOTTOM TRACK (B). Then Cut the tracks using a fine tooth hacksaw.

2. Fix Track To Top Of Opening

Position Bottom Track Lay BOTTOM TRACK roughly in position under TOP TRACK.

3. Attaching Bottom Wheels (if necessary)

Note: A safety feature prevents insertion or removal of TOP GUIDES from TOP TRACK in the vertical position.

6. Fix Bottom Track

With a second person holding the door, place a spirit level on its face and carefully slide the BOTTOM TRACK in or out until the door is vertical (see right). Mark the position of the FLOOR TRACK on the wall. Repeat this process with the door against the opposite wall. When both doors are vertical fix the BOTTOM TRACK to the floor with the screws provided. Drill and plug solid floors as required.

7. Adjusting Doors

Align DOORS plumb to side walls. Adjust BOTTOM WHEELS to alter the height and angle of each door. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, correct door alignment with the screw adjuster attached to the BOTTOM WHEELS. Turn the screww clockwise to lower the door and anti-clockwise to raise the doors by adjusting both left and right wheels up and down as required.

It may be a good idea to include ventilation holes at the top and bottom of the wardrobe, especially if the house is old and does not have cavity walls. There can be build up of moisture in the wall, from the room or even damp clothes. This will support the growth of mildew if the cupboard is not well ventilated.
