Is a sliding door wardrobe something you're thinking about adding to your bedroom? Getting assembly services from a service provider is more expensive than doing it yourself. It could be an exhausting task too.

If you follow a clear installation plan, you can install sliding door wardrobes yourself. You might think of it as a DIY project to hone your talents if you're a beginner. This post will walk you through all of the procedures and material requirements for your project. The end result will make you feel awesome, and it will be a whole lot of fun.

Pre Installation Requisites:

There are a few requirements that must be met before you begin working on the project.

  • Wardrobe kit: Getting the wardrobe kit from a manufacturer is the first step. Place your purchase for the product that best suits your needs, preferences, and financial constraints. Moreover, material durability is another important consideration.
  • The tools: The tools are another thing that needs to be arranged. To install the wardrobe, you'll need a level, screwdriver, hammer, measuring tape, and other basic tools.
  • Understand the components: Once your goods have arrived, follow the instructions to fully comprehend each part of the kit. Frame panels, drawers, shelf panels, hanging rails, sliding door panels, and sliding door tracks are some examples of these parts.
  • Measure and Mark: Refer to the manufacturer-provided dimensions listed in the wardrobe kit's handbook. Using the measurements, precisely measure and label the wall and floor dimensions.

The Installation:

The job can be broken down into three primary steps when the prerequisites have been satisfied.

1. Build and Mount the outer frame:

Building the exterior frame is the first step in the installation process. The remaining parts will be attached to this frame later. Follow the instructions to construct the frame on your own.

  • Using the manual's drawings as a guide, align the frame panels on the floor. It will be more convenient to install the frame on the ground rather than vertically.
  • To create the outside structure, attach the panels together using screws. Pay close attention to the frame's level. Ignoring this will make installing the sliding doors and drawers more difficult.
  • Using your markings, raise the frame and attach it against the wall. Be advised that the wardrobe may topple over if the floor is uneven. To prevent the risk, fasten the wardrobe to the wall using screws or wall anchors.

2. Finalize the Wardrobe Interior:

Shelves, drawers, and hanging rails or rods are all parts of a wardrobe's interior. Let's take the following actions to fix each one individually.

  • To put the drawers together, attach the sides to the base.
  • Mark the drawer runners precisely, and attach them to the frame. Now, drawers can be slid into the runners with ease. Make sure that the drawer is operating properly by sliding it in and out multiple times.
  • At marked locations, now attach the shelving panels to the frame. Adjust your shelves to meet your storage needs if the wardrobe design has adjustable shelves.
  • Hanging rails or rods are installed as the final interior finishing phase. To prevent future malfunctions or loosening, screw them tightly.

3. Install the Sliding Doors:

Now that the interior is finished and the sliding doors are ready to be fitted, you are at the last phase. Let's get started.

  • To enable sliding doors, install the top and bottom sliding tracks.
  • The door panels should be raised and fixed inside the tracks. To make sure the sliding doors are operating properly, move them left and right a few times.
  • To ensure smooth operation, clean every part, paying particular attention to the drawer runners and sliding tracks. Your sliding door wardrobe is all set to hold your clothes and improve the appearance of your bedroom.

Pro tip: Make sure to follow safety precautions if you attempt to construct a structure at home to prevent any accidents.

Conclusion:

Although installing a sliding door wardrobe yourself may seem like a huge undertaking, if you proceed methodically and according to the guidelines while taking certain precautions, you will end up with a sleek product. The economical and skill benefits of having a modern-looking bedroom will come from your decision to create it yourself.
