Tools and materials
So, the man has decided what is in his housea hanging door must be installed. In this regard, he must purchase certain materials and tools that will make his work easier. First of all, it is worth thinking about purchasing a fastening structure and wooden fittings. If a person buys a ready-made kit, then it must include all the most necessary auxiliary material. This applies to both fasteners and fittings. Otherwise, these elements of the structure will have to be purchased separately.

It is worth purchasing if you plan to install hanging doors yourself. The length of the beam should be exactly equal to the length of the door leaf. If the door is used as a partition, the beam should be fixed directly to the ceiling. To attach the frame to the wall, you will need to purchase anchor bolts. Only they will allow you to make a truly high-quality and reliable installation. You can’t do without a measuring tool either. This should be a tape measure and a meter. To control the horizontality, you need to purchase levels of various sizes. The verticality also needs to be checked regularly. A plumb line can be used for these purposes. A screwdriver and a screwdriver may also be needed. If you plan to install a structure that is hidden in a door niche, then a sliding mechanism must be installed before all the main activities. Its side faces must necessarily remain vertical. This also applies to horizontality. Parallelism must be controlled using plumb lines. Since the work is done by hand, there is a high probability that the geometry will not be observed one hundred percent. In any case, its parameters need to be adjusted to the optimal ones.

Installation: practical recommendations
Mechanisms for overhead doors.Now we can state the fact that all the tools and materials are collected, the preparation is done, which means that you can proceed directly to the installation of hanging doors with your own hands. If we talk about a ready-made door, then it must come with high-quality installation instructions. Basically, the installation principles are almost the same for almost all models, so you can focus on the tips and recommendations that are given below. The door leaf is pre-attached to the wall. This means the wall on which it will be installed. Next, you should draw the upper border. From this line, another one is marked at a height of 5-8 cm from it. To draw a straight line, you must use a level. You can't do without a meter either. The fastening line must be clear and even, because the quality of all subsequent work directly depends on it. The second step is to fasten the beam. It should be located not only in the place where the door itself will be, but also where the canvas can be located during movement. Anchor bolts are used to fasten the beam. It is mandatory to use a horizontal level when carrying out work. The beam must be positioned strictly parallel to the floor. Otherwise, the door may begin to work incorrectly, that is, it may develop a variety of distortions.
Installing a sliding hanging door.Next comes the fastening of the rail or guide directly to the beam. This is done with the most common self-tapping screws, which are screwed into the beam with a screwdriver. The distance between the holes should be approximately 20-30 cm. Now it is worth checking the functionality of the rollers and the carriage. They are installed in special grooves. If this is not done, the installed door may move with great problems. Precaution in this life has never hurt anyone. Next, rubber shock absorbers are mounted at the ends of the rail. They will reduce the load on the mechanism as it moves along the guide. Even a powerful opening of the door will not lead to any significant changes in the design. It will retain its original appearance for many years and will please its owner. Next, you should install a special bracket on the door leaf itself. It is necessary to ensure the movement of the structural element along the guides. For fastening, use a screwdriver with self-tapping screws. Now you can directly fasten the door leaf and the moving mechanism. The same brackets are perfect for this event. We can state the fact that the work is 90 percent complete. All that remains is to add the finishing touches to obtain a truly high-quality result.
Scheme of fastening of the upper rollers of the slidingdoors: 1 - roller, 2 - profile, 3 - door leaf, 4 - metal plates. All that remains is to secure the limiting posts. This is done with screws and a screwdriver. Limiting posts are attached so that the door leaf does not fly out of its boundaries when moving. If this is not done, then there is a high probability that sooner or later it will move away from the guides, and this often leads to very negative consequences. It can simply break, and in some situations, even cause harm to human health. So you should be careful when carrying out work. After the limiters are installed, you can start working on restoring the aesthetics of the door. This is done with the help of special extensions. They are extremely easy to install.
