5 Easy Steps to Upgrade Your Sliding Doors


If your current sliding doors are old, worn out, damaged or simply don’t tickle your fancy any more, then it’s time to consider upgrading them. Follow these 5 steps to benefit from brand new wardrobe doors:

Step 1: Measure your doors

Keep your measurements handy as these will help you to choose the style of door you want and make your order online.

Step 2: Choose the style you want


Once you have figured out how big your doors need to be, these measurements will dictate what style of door you can go for. Some doors have minimum and maximum widths/heights, so please bare this in mind when choosing your door style.

Step 5: Installation


So your brand new sliding doors have arrived safely on your doorstep and you can take them inside to unpack. Once you have done all your unravelling, it’s time to get installing.

You might have already removed your all sliding doors in preparation for your new doors arriving, which is great if you have. If you haven’t, you will obviously want to remove these before you set about installing your new sliding doors.

The installation process can be as easy or difficult as you want it to be. You can try and do everything yourself with no help or you can do your research, listen to others and make life easy for yourself.

By watching this short video, which shows how to fit both made to measure and standard sliding doors, you can plan your installation more effectively to save time and struggle in the process.



An extra step in the right direction…


If you have completely removed your old wardrobe doors and all interior storage, your wardrobe might look a little bare inside. Upgrading your wardrobe interior doesn’t have to be a difficult job either.
