Today I decided to talk about how to make a door to a pantry. It turns out that there are many materials that are suitable for making such a structure. I was able to easily implement the whole process with my own hands, and below I will talk about the sequence of my actions at the installation stage.

Non-standard options for closet doors in an apartment
When arranging a pantry, which consists of shelves or a full-fledged room, the installation of non-standard systems will be an excellent embodiment of creative ideas into reality. For pantries located in the kitchen, sliding doors are suitable, the design of which will hide some shelves, but leave most of them within reach. An additional advantage of this solution will be saving space.
Having a special corner for the pantry at your disposal, you can install regular hinged doors, suitable for a traditional, Scandinavian interior. Many people prefer wooden doors with a glass insert, which allows them to inspect the room without performing unnecessary actions.
Another unusual option is to install glass doors that visually increase the space. They are made from triplex, which is durable glass consisting of three layers (2 glasses and a film). Such products can have a glossy or matte finish.
Installation of shelves
Shelves in the pantry come in handy. You can cut them from laminated chipboard. Smooth material, easy to clean later. In our case, the shelves are cut from plastic window sills.
Window sill for shelves.
To fasten the shelves we use a mounting bracket.
We calculate the number of shelves and install fasteners on the walls of the pantry.
We saw the required number of elements from the window sill and install them.

Dimensions
The dimensions of the door must be determined in advance. You will need to measure the width of the canvas and its height. To do this, measure the opening and take into account the slope if there are distortions. A typical interior door has a standard width of 0.9 m. If it is a door at the entrance to a house, this value should be increased to 1.2 m. The height of the leaf is usually the same and is 2.1 m.
The dimensions of the door cannot be determined if repairs are underway. You should lay the flooring, only then start measuring dimensions. The box must be 2 cm larger than the opening to provide technological voids.
Useful tips for arrangement
In every dressing room, even the smallest one, you can distinguish active and passive zones. Of course, access to the area where frequently used items are stored should be made easier. It is optimal when the shelves and linen drawers are at a height of about a meter from the floor level, and the bar for outerwear is up to 2 meters.
If the width of the dressing room is more than 1 meter, it is advisable to arrange the filling along two adjacent walls, and in its very depth, install a bar for outerwear on the entire wall. Option for a very small room 0.87 by 1.1 meters.
The project on which the model of the future storage system is assembled must reflect all the elements and mark the dimensions. An example of a real project on paper.
And his living embodiment.
Since there are no windows in the pantry by default, take care of quality lighting. The brightness should be enough to illuminate all elements of the dressing room without exception. If you can’t organize such light, then you can use spot lighting.
The photo clearly shows that even one bright lamp is enough to uniformly illuminate a room of 2.4×1.16 meters.
If your budget allows, then you can style your dressing room as such a huge pencil case. It's comfortable and looks very modern.
Or design a classic swing-type door like this.
Instead of boxes, you can use these spacious bags to save space. It turns out not only to increase the area of the room, but also to decorate it beautifully.
A concept can be created from scratch. It is enough just to maintain the design in a single key and observe the laws of symmetry.
Cozy dressing room built into the bedroom. Would you think that behind the mirror there is a “secret room”?
Everything ingenious is simple. The owners of this Khrushchev-era building abandoned the doors, opting for thick, luxurious curtains. The result is not just a comfortable dressing room, where everything is neatly laid out on shelves, but an ideal continuation of the bedroom.
Which pantry door is best to install in an apartment?
To properly design a storage room, you should take into account the area of the apartment.
To properly design a storage room, you should take into account the area of the apartment.
In a “Khrushchev” building, which is not very spacious, it is worth installing doors whose designs would save space.
In narrow and small openings, swing doors should be installed, but only those opening into the storage room. So the canvases will not interfere with the free movement of people around the apartment. You can also opt for sliding structures or compartments, so you can save space. An original, non-standard option for a small apartment would be to install mirrored doors that visually increase the space.
If the storage room is located next to another room, installing standard structures will not be a very suitable option. Such a design will spoil the wall, the elements will begin to come into contact with each other, which will have a negative impact on them over time. To avoid such problems, it is necessary to find an alternative option. Using fabric draperies instead of a door is a fairly popular option. Curtains made of thick fabric, lightweight and safe, are very suitable for storage rooms.
Important points before arranging and planning a storage room in Khrushchev
Most often, if a storage room is present in the apartment, then it is located in the hallway. But sometimes it is not provided for in principle by the plan itself. True, this is not a reason to abandon the storage room in the Khrushchev.
If the presence of this room is not provided for by the layout of the apartment, you can start creating it by erecting walls.
You can organize it yourself. To do this, you need to find a suitable space and most often choose:
- free corner in a large square corridor;
- end blind part in a narrow long corridor;
- the space above the door or in a narrow corridor, which is suitable for organizing a niche;
- installation in a suitable location in the wardrobe.
An excellent solution would be to fence off a small part of a long corridor.
Of all the options presented, the least expensive is the case when there are 3 adjacent walls that can be converted into a storage room. To do this, it will be enough to just hang the door.
In Khrushchev houses, you can allocate space between rooms, because during construction they often left space for niches.
Additional Information! Of course, you can allocate a whole room for such a room, but this is only possible in a large private house or cottage.
Therefore, when planning a storage room, first of all, it is advisable to decide where it can be placed in a specific type of housing.
You can store in it a lot of things you need in everyday life, the need for which, although rare, still exists.
Manufacturing of sliding doors. Preparation
A place should be prepared for sliding doors. If this step is neglected, difficulties may arise during installation and operation of the canvas, and the installation site itself will look untidy. The old door is dismantled. The new place is cleared of dust. If there are cracks and irregularities, they are repaired. The level checks the evenness of the base. If there are deviations, they should be aligned, otherwise difficulties may arise in the functioning of the door.
Choosing the right material
In the manufacture of door panels, popular materials are used, of which the following can be distinguished for pantry doors:
- Solid wood. Lets air through, providing room ventilation. It is environmentally friendly and beautiful, suitable for any interior. The cost of such a product can be quite high. A cheaper option is to assemble a canvas of rough boards and create a barn-style door.
- MDF, chipboard (chipboard). Both stoves have an affordable price and an aesthetic appearance. The canvases perform well during operation, and the imitation of various materials allows you to choose the surface to suit any modern interior.
- Iron, etc. Metal doors to the pantry should only be installed when increased protection of the contents is required. In this case, you should provide a ventilation system in the door itself or equip one in one of the walls.
The location of the pantry in a small corridor requires a visual expansion of the space, so the openings in this case are covered with mirrors or glassware.
How to choose material
Before you make a door to the pantry, you will need to select the material. Wood goes well with furniture and parquet, it is durable and of high quality, in addition, it is easy to process and provides sound insulation. If you choose wood, it is important to ensure that the frame and trim are also made of the same material. But it has disadvantages, such as vulnerability to water, fire hazard and high cost.
Among the budget solutions, lining should be highlighted, while the profile can be made of any material. An alternative is synthetic polycarbonate. It is suitable for use in wet conditions, is resistant to temperature changes and can retain heat if supplemented with insulation.
Carrying out installation
In order to install a closet door in an apartment, you need to mark the places for the hinges on the frame and mark similar places on the door leaf. The location where the lock will be located, if provided, should be indicated. The door is inserted into the frame, which will allow you to check the marks. Now you can embed the hinges. The next step is to cut out the tongue for the lock using a jigsaw. It is installed after it has been possible to trace the outline on the canvas.
Choosing lighting and furniture for a storage room in Khrushchev
Lighting depends on what the room is used for. If its main purpose is storage, then you can simply place one central lighting source.
It would be better to place several spots so that the light is softer and diffuses evenly.
If you plan to work in the pantry room, then the level of illumination should be comfortable for work. Therefore, in addition to the ceiling light, you will need an additional one, for example, in the form of a table lamp or a rotating spotlight.
This place may also appeal to those who like to read in silence.
As for furniture, it will also be needed if a person plans to work in the pantry. For sitting, you should choose chairs that do not take up much space.
Their dimensions should not be bulky.
The table should also be as functional as possible, so it should have storage systems in the form of drawers.
Compact arrangement of books on shelves will allow you to create an amateur library.
In order to decide why you need a storage room in a Khrushchev-era building, the design photos presented below will help you choose the right solution.
A large number of shelves allows you to compactly place basic items that are used infrequently or only on special occasions.
Door decor with stencils
Old doors can be updated using printed drawings. It’s just a pity that not everyone has artistic talent. But in this case, the problem is solved with the help of stencils. You can draw them yourself, or you can find an image you like, print it on thick paper, cut out the design with a sharp knife, leaving jumpers in places. Now the stencil is ready.
The disadvantage of a paper stencil is that it doesn’t last long. If you need a “long-lasting” one, you need to transfer it to a transparent thick film. The technology for cutting out stencils for door decoration is shown in more detail in the video.
The drawing can be anything. Both geometric and floral, stylized images of animals, birds, and cartoon characters are popular.
Here are some options for small stencils
But they can also cover the entire area of the door leaf. It all depends on the style of the room and your desires.
Using the same technique, you can decorate doors with glass. Many older doors have a regular glass insert. In order not to spend money on patterned ones, you can apply the pattern yourself.
Stencil on door glass
Patterns
Patterns or ornaments are perfect for decorating a freshly painted door or creating an unusual design for an existing surface.
You can paint them with acrylic paints. If the artist’s talent is completely absent, then glass paints will come to the rescue, which are first applied to the selected template, and after drying, the film with a piece of the ornament is transferred to the surface of the door.
A good option for applying patterns would be regular stencils. Handicraft or stationery stores will help you purchase them. In the same way, you can create an unusual decor for the front door.
Door with overlay panels
This master class differs from the previous one in that here we will not only attach the strips, but also fill the inside of the doors with overlay panels.
Necessary materials:
- Plastic panels (we make these here, but wooden panels can also be used)
- Roulette
- Pencil
- Building level
- Construction adhesive
- Latex paint
- Screwdriver
- Masking tape
- Hand saw
- Screws
- Safety glasses and earmuffs
- Putty for plastic
- Putty knife
- Sander (or sandpaper)
Step-by-step instruction:
Step 1: Correct the door defects. If the door is very old and has some defects that cannot be hidden by painting (for example, the top coating has chipped off in places, or there are deep scratches), then initially you need to remove them and make the surface smooth.
- To do this, apply wood putty and let it dry,
- then smooth the surface with a grinding machine or sandpaper .
Step 2: Outlining the location of the planks
We will do the marking here the same as in the previous case, that is, we will retreat 5" (about 13 cm) everywhere except the bottom of the door, where we leave 6" (about 15 cm).
TIP: If you don't have a long ruler, you can draw lines using a building level.
Step 3: Attach the panel
Apply construction adhesive to the back of the plastic panels.
Place the panels on the door and check that they are positioned correctly using a level. The sides of the panels should be clearly parallel to the edges of the door.
Press down on the panel until it presses firmly against the door and sticks securely. Secure this entire structure around the perimeter with small screws using a screwdriver.
Step 4: Attach the planks
Again, you can either cut the planks to size at a shop, or do it yourself using a saw and miter box. The strips should surround the panels around the perimeter, fitting tightly to them.
Attach one strip first, the top one. To do this, use thin screws and a screwdriver .- Now we move on to attaching the side strips. It is important here that the planks meet tightly and evenly in the corners; to do this, before attaching them with screws, glue them to the door with masking tape and make sure that everything is correct.
- After this, secure with screws and remove the masking tape.
- Do the same with all the remaining planks.
Note: the planks can initially be glued with construction adhesive and then secured with screws.
This is what should happen at this stage:
Step 5: Paint the door. Now all that remains is to paint the door and leave it until completely dry.
Now compare the door before and after repair:
The applied relief makes the door more stylish and affects the appearance of the entire room as a whole:
Don't be afraid to change up old items and give them a different look. Give them the opportunity to serve you again, but in a new guise!
Any, even the most expensive and high-quality interior doors can become unusable. The door leaf may fade, crack, or simply become boring. In any case, now it won’t be too difficult to replace the old door with a completely new one. But this may not always be truly appropriate or necessary. There are cases when replacing them will not work or will be problematic, for example, the door has non-standard dimensions or you do not have the necessary funds to purchase a new door. One way or another, there is always an alternative option, because there are many ways to update any door with your own hands.
There are many restoration methods, but regardless of the choice, you first need to prepare the tools that will be needed during the work process.
You must have with you:
- Construction hair dryer;
- Plane;
- Spatulas;
- Grinder machine;
- Sandpaper.
What you need to know
The so-called pantry is a niche that is formed in Khrushchev-era buildings at the junctions of rooms. As a rule, it occupies an area of no more than 3 square meters (usually less) and, if properly arranged, allows you to store a large number of things and various necessary accessories.
Is it possible to make a full-fledged dressing room from each such niche? Hardly. Rooms with dimensions of at least one meter by one and a half meters are suitable for arrangement, since with smaller dimensions it will not be possible to mount rods and provide comfortable access to clothing and storage items.
True, there are no hopeless situations: if the pantry is very small, then instead of a full-fledged dressing room, you can design a beautiful and convenient built-in wardrobe: for this you will need racks with shelves of the required size and a couple of rods for outerwear.
If you want to decorate a dressing room in a Khrushchev-era building instead of a closed storage room, then think about installing a ventilation system in this niche. This is just a recommendation, but its implementation will allow you to prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors in the space you create.
Replacing a door with an arch
A modern design solution is to decorate the interior of a room using an arch. This option is used in various variations and forms. In each individual case, the arched design adds decorative elements to the interior of the room. To decorate arches, fabric, plastic, decorative stone and other materials of various colors and shapes are used.
Arched design
If you are thoroughly tired of the doors between rooms, you should get rid of them and redesign the room. In this case, use an arched design. With its help, you can divide the room into separate parts, giving it uniqueness and originality. The decor of the arch depends only on your preferences.

Dressing room from the pantry: method of attaching shelves
When the time comes to turn a storage room in a panel house into a comfortable modern dressing room, each person begins to decide what building materials to buy. In order to attach shelves, you can use different types of fasteners: mansol holders or shelf holders.
If the work needs to be done very quickly, then you can secure absolutely all the shelves using the “corner” type. It is worth noting that this mounting option can easily be considered the strongest and most reliable, because it can withstand quite heavy loads.
If you use FIX type fastenings in this case, then the entire structure of the shelves in the dressing room from the pantry will look incredibly neat. If there is a need to move the shelves from one place to another, then they can be dismantled without any problems and in the end result it will not even be noticeable. Fasteners for Pelican-type shelves will look very nice. The peculiarity of this mount is that it can easily support shelves made of a wide variety of materials, regardless of their thickness.
DIY installation
It is not difficult to equip a storage room in an apartment. The main thing is to clearly define for yourself its functionality, purpose, and completeness. Then hang the selected door structure of the required size. Depending on the width of the opening, it may have one or more sashes. The main thing is that there is enough space to open it.
First of all, prepare the niche or opening itself for installing the opening mechanism: clean, level the surfaces using putty or assembling a frame from a profile and plasterboard. If a metal or wooden box is provided, then it is installed.
The installation of the door leaf itself directly depends on the opening method:
- Hinge locations are marked on swing structures. A recess is made for the fittings and screwed first to the end of the door, and then to the frame.
- Sliding or folding mechanisms provide for the installation of a guide profile on the ceiling and floor (or only on the ceiling). Then the rollers are secured and the canvas is put in place.
- Blinds and roller blinds are hung on the cornice or directly to the ceiling (the top of the opening).
At all stages, it is recommended to carefully monitor the horizontal arrangement of all components, the mirror image of the two combined hinge elements, and maintaining the distances relative to each other of the sliding door guides.
Types of storage systems
Even the most practical configuration can be ruined if you choose a wardrobe storage system that is not quite suitable for it. Which one to choose?
Hull
Made according to an individual project in full accordance with your dimensions. It is also quite easy to assemble it yourself by ordering a cut (as we showed in the example with a homemade screen for a battery) - this will significantly save money. A cabinet storage system is best suited for use if there is enough space, as it consists of fairly massive compartments with a large number of drawers and shelves.
Mesh
A much more compact and generally lightweight and versatile design that fits perfectly into very modest dressing rooms. Unlike other types of storage systems, it is made of metal. The base is fixed to the wall, and all elements included in the system are fixed to it with hooks and brackets.
Look how well this system saves space. In the photo the room is 1.35 by 1.55 meters with a depth of 40 to 60 cm in the center.
The big advantage of this particular option is the possibility of modification. At any time, you can rehang the shelves with baskets, add more elements and expand the capacity, or, conversely, remove unnecessary ones.
Frame
A system similar to a mesh system: here, metal racks are also first fixed. They are connected to each other by horizontal rods, and all the necessary racks are mounted on them. The space is not cluttered with unnecessary shelves, and if in practice it turns out that many sectors are not used, then they can be dismantled in no time.

Preparing the doorway
Before you start installing the door to the pantry, you must first prepare the base:
- dismantle the old door;
- remove the trim and door frame;
- level the doorway by plastering and painting.

Preparatory work is carried out taking into account the material of the walls, location, but the main requirement is that the wall with the future opening allows the installation of sliding doors - otherwise you will have to look for another option.
Floor arrangement
The floor in such a closet is wooden, made of floor slats. The quality leaves much to be desired. It would be good to improve it so that the cleaning problem is solved more rationally. Throw a piece of linoleum inside, or upholster it with fiberboard and paint it. In our case, the floor simply became a masterpiece. A suitable part of the laminated chipboard could be adapted as a floor covering.

Additional components
In order to make a door to a pantry, the most important elements are profile guides, which include the following elements:
- track;
- rollers;
- stopper;
- limiters.
Basic components of a sliding door.
The complete set includes a door leaf, and for the spacer you will need a wooden block with a cross-section of 40x50 mm.
Installation must begin by attaching the beam, which is installed horizontally, maintaining a distance of 6 cm in relation to the edge of the doorway. This design will serve as a spacer.
Next, guide tracks are attached to this beam using self-tapping screws.
The stops are attached to the floor surface horizontally under the guide element, and the stoppers are installed to the wall at the top. A strip is attached to the top end of the sliding door.
To ensure free movement of door panels along the guides, rollers are installed in the track and the panels are carefully hung by inserting the strip into the grooves of the rollers. The guide elements on the end sides, as well as above the door, are closed using platbands. To make a door to the pantry, you need to cut a door blank from a single sheet of chipboard (the thickness of which is 16 mm). After sawing, the edges are glued with veneer tape.
After installation, it is necessary to adjust the door movement and install fittings, and if necessary, install a lock.
In a small room where the pantry is located, you can install mirrored sliding doors, which will not only look original, but also visually increase the space.

Tree
Wood is a reliable and strong building material. Most door models are now made from it. Wood is considered environmentally friendly and has a long service life. The material retains heat well and lends itself to any type of processing: dyeing, painting, creating an individual design. I would not paint the door leaf, but would immediately burn it onto clean and well-sanded wood. Of course, this modification is not to everyone’s liking, and is only suitable for a few types of interior: rustic, country, classic, Provence. Can be used for a loft if you make a themed design.

I recommend! If the door leaf is made of wood, then the frame in which it is installed must be made of identical raw materials. It is even advisable to choose one tree species. This will increase the guarantee that both structures will last the same amount of time.

Doors for pantry in apartment
A pantry is a room where you can store wardrobe items, food, professional equipment and other useful things that the owners need from time to time.
This room must be properly decorated so that this important part of the apartment or house becomes a harmonious continuation of the overall interior. To do this, you should properly equip the interior of the room and take the choice of a suitable closet door as seriously as possible. There are standard and non-standard options for door designs: it is worth considering them in more detail.
A door leading to a storage room or hiding a mezzanine plays two important roles: safely dividing a room into closed areas and adding an additional decorative element to the room's design. When decorating such a room, it is necessary to take into account the style of the apartment. Harmonious design presupposes that all components match each other, this also applies to doors.
The following are the most popular options for pantry doors in an apartment:
- classic style: involves the use of a wooden door leaf. Imitation of wood is possible;
- modern style: involves the use of plastic, glass, metal products or combinations thereof;
- you can install small grates or drill holes at the bottom of the canvas. This will help prevent dampness, mold and provide ventilation;
- in ethnic style, aged wooden surfaces, metal, natural stone cladding, forging, leather or its imitation are welcome.
There is a wide range of closet doors available in the market these days.
The designs of doors for pantry are very diverse:
- sliding doors or compartments: a suitable option for a small apartment. The canvas moves using rollers - along tracks. Stoppers are installed at their edges. The main advantage of such structures is the absence of clutter with door panels;
- vertical, horizontal, roller, protective blinds are lamellas - thin slats, plates of various sizes. The lightness of the blinds ensures normal air circulation. They protect the room from exposure to bright sunlight;
- swing doors: the most common option. This design consists of a fixed door frame and a movable door leaf;
The door leading to the pantry plays two important roles: safely dividing the room into closed zones and introducing an additional decorative element into the room design
- You can install two leaves to create double doors. The doors can open in one direction or in both directions. The advantages of these canvases are an increase in space and the ability to quickly ventilate the room.
- folding doors or “accordion”: a very practical option. These are panels that are connected to each other with hinges. Such doors have a number of advantages: saving space, the ability to use them in openings of any size, maintaining the integrity of the floor covering, a large number of colors;
- sliding doors: having a sliding mechanism, they move in the same plane with the wall. The advantage of such structures is obvious: they save space;
- roller blinds: they are a freely hanging canvas, which is fixed on a shaft in the upper part. A chain or spring mechanism ensures the folding of the fabric;
- doors for special purposes: if you plan to store valuables in a storage room, then it is necessary to install a fire-resistant and fire-resistant door, the important advantage of which will be resistance to high temperatures;
- hidden door: this solution can be implemented by disguising the door under the front of a kitchen cabinet, wall unit, wall, shelving unit, mirror or picture. The easiest and cheapest way to disguise is to cover the door with the same wallpaper as on the walls.
Among the advantages that these systems have, we can highlight the main advantages: lack of dust, ease of use, maintaining attractiveness throughout the entire period of operation.
Interesting examples of the design and interior of a pantry in a Khrushchev building of different sizes
First of all, everyone must determine for themselves what the pantry is for. This can be storage of a variety of things, from clothes to canned goods and tools.
If the kitchen is large, you can build walls in one of the corners.
The storage room can also be converted into an office or a kind of garage can be made here. You can go more aesthetically and create a built-in wardrobe in a Khrushchev-era building in the pantry.
You can arrange shelving along one wall of the pantry, which differs little in design from a regular cabinet.
In a one-room apartment
A distinctive feature of a one-room apartment is the small total space of the home, as a result of which a person living here is always forced to carve out free space and, before buying a certain large-sized item, first decide where to put it.
Modern panel houses allow you to allocate more space for a storage room.
Important! In order to somehow neutralize this negative situation, you need to properly organize the pantry space.
If two or more people live in a one-room Khrushchev house, then you can set up a small office in the closet where you can install a computer. This way, working with office equipment will not interfere with other residents.
With the right approach, it can turn out to be quite cozy and stylish.
In a two-room apartment
Here the area is larger - therefore the number of residents already starts from 3 people. And as a rule, this is a family with one or two children. In this case, the question very often arises - where to store children's skateboards, rollers, scooters and bicycles. The corridor in the Khrushchev building is small, so it is not possible to leave all these vehicles here. And here a storage room will come to the rescue, from which you can organize a small garage for children’s vehicles.
It is more practical to place children's vehicle models on the wall, while for adults it is more practical to place them on the floor.
In a three-room apartment
In a three-room apartment there is no longer such an acute shortage of space, which is why the pantry in this case can be converted to suit a wide variety of needs:
- closet;
- storage of things, conservation, vacuum cleaners and other cleaning products; a small office with office equipment;
- a workshop for those who love to make things - this way you won’t have to think about the fact that repairs and other types of work will disturb someone;
- garage for light vehicles.
You should make sure there are a large number of shelves in the room.
Installation of a compartment door
To install the door leaf, you need to attach the upper and lower guide strips along which the wheels will ride.
The top rail is fixed to the edge of the pantry doorway. The bottom strip is fixed with an indentation of 18 mm (for double-leaf doors), 9 mm for one-sided doors.
The process of installing a compartment door in a wardrobe
If you do not want to screw the bottom strip with screws to avoid damage to the floor covering, then you can use double-sided tape. But, in this case, a stopper positioner should be used. Watch the video for a detailed process of installing compartment doors in a closet.
Door assembly
When creating a dressing room with your own hands, you also make a sliding door. This requires a plywood sheet, laminated chipboard, glass, wood.
Diagram with dimensions for assembling a compartment door to a wardrobe
Based on the measurements taken from the doorway, you need to cut out a sheet of plywood. Fix one by one to this canvas:
- rollers - top and bottom;
- profile - top and bottom;
- frames - top and bottom.
With ready-made doors, no assembly is required; they are fully assembled and complete.
Installation of the canvas
After complete assembly, the door is installed in the doorway. First you need to insert the upper wheels into the grooves. After this, the wheels are clamped inward at the bottom, and then the door is inserted into the guide.
Adjustment
Using a regular screwdriver or hexagon, the screw is turned at the bottom. This way the desired height of the canvas is set. After installing the compartment doors, they open easily, lock freely and close quietly.
Studying the configuration
Finally, my order arrived and I was ready to install the structure. I strongly recommend rechecking all the components, which I did myself. They must be listed on the receipt, and be in the appropriate quantity in the package. My kit included: upper and lower guides, stops, rollers, seal and small fittings (screws, plugs, trims).
