Instructions
Measuring Sliding Closet Doors
1. The first step is to measure the door horizontally. You will need to measure across both the top and the bottom of the door. Note any variances because this may require some extra materials or perhaps a special order door. Write down the exact measurements.
2. Next, measure the door vertically. Measure both sides of the door or doors. Always use the smaller measurements for the doors to insure a proper fit.
3. Next, you will want to measure the width of the wall. Not all sliding doors are the same width so taking this measurement is key for a proper fit.
4. Finally, it is a good idea to measure the frame of the door. This is in case you have to special order a door of make adjustments to the frame. In some cases, doors may have been cut too and you will need to find doors to fit the frame rather than just measuring/replacing existing doors.
5. Last, repeat the entire process to get a second set of measurements. Compare to your first set of measurements. If they match, you have your measurements. If they do not match, measure again.
