Construction and installation
Sliding constructions have a number of advantages: 
Mechanisms for interior sliding doors.

However, there are also drawbacks. First of all, this is low sound insulation. If the swing door can be closed tightly, then this construction, if it is double-folded, is not. Although if you install a single-sex door, then the noise insulation properties will significantly increase. Back to contents</a> Materials and tools, a variety of structuresSliding interior doors can be in the form of a coupe, with doors that fold and cassette. The first species is considered the most popular and durable. The cassette doors provide for a wide wall, since the canvas moves into the wall, and the door-accordion can open in any direction. The interior doors of the compartment differ in the way they operate the doors. Firstly, it is control with the help of the lower roller, and secondly, it is the use of only the upper roller, in which there is no threshold. 
Types of sliding doors. To make doors with your own hands, you will need the following materials and tools:
- wooden linen (massif, MDF, chipboard and so on);
- at desire of an insertion;
- a box for a frame or a bar, in order to make a frame and a box;
- spline connection;
- glue;
- fasteners;
- rollers;
- self-tapping screws;
- pencil and ruler;
- guide rail;
- construction level;
- drill, screwdriver;
- a hammer;
- wedges made of wood.
All this you need to purchase in advance. Then you need to cut out all the details and you can start on your own. Back to the table of contents</a> Mounting by yourself Ready-made doorthe linen must be prepared for the rollers, that is, in the lower and upper part along the end line, you need to cut a groove into which the roller will be placed. If the door will be fixed only at the top, then the top part is cut out. The cut is made along the entire length of the fabric. If you have a manual milling cutter, then do it with it. If the router is not available, then you can simply chisel the chisel or apply the grinder. 
Installing the sliding door. Using self-tapping screws and a screwdriver, the upper guide is firstly attached, and the lower one is simply laid parallel to the top. Next to the door leaf we attach rollers from above and from below on both edges. They should be located at a distance of 50 mm from the edge. At fastening it is not necessary to cut the rollers into the door, just screw it in. To mount the guides, it is necessary to correctly calculate the height of the installation. To do this, you need to add the height of the canvas to the height of the rollers and gaps from the bottom (if any), after which the measured value is measured by roulette and marked on the wall. In this case, you must strictly monitor the horizontal level. Fastens the guide along its entire length. If the guides are two, then it is fixed, respectively, from above and from below. After that, install the door in both guide rails and use the construction level to determine the vertical direction. Pencil should be noted on the floor location of the bottom guide and remove the canvas. Then the rail is attached from below and the canvas is again inserted. To install a canvas that will be attached only at the top, it is necessary to mount metal strips in the upper section and put bearings on them. After that, the door leaf is applied to the opening and marked with a pencil place for self-tapping screws, since they need to be attached to this bar. After the rack is mounted, the door, on which the rollers are already installed, is inserted into the groove of the rail and fixed by another self-tapping screw. In this case, the blade must be in a raised position. By the way, if there is enough space on the side of the opening, then the door leaf can be installed in the guides from the side. If there is no place, then you have to insert the canvas in the guides, on which the rollers are already installed. To ensure that the doors are installed with their own hands, experts advise paying particular attention to the selection of guides. The length must be at least two web widths. If there is at least a little less, then the door can not fully open and there is a possibility that it will move out.
