Note: The sliding door hardware kit (rail, hangers, floor guide, etc.) is not included with this door panel and must be purchased separately. Refer to the installation manual for your specific hardware kit (e.g., vidaXL SKUs: 142827, 145259-145265) for mounting instructions.

4. Setup and Assembly

This section details the assembly of the door panel itself. Ensure you have a clean, flat surface to work on.

4.1 Tools Required (Not Included)

• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Drill
• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
• Wood glue (optional, for added stability)

4.2 Assembly Steps

1. Identify Components: Lay out all the wooden planks and cross-braces. You will have vertical planks, horizontal planks (top, middle, bottom), and diagonal Z-braces.
2. Assemble the Main Panel: Arrange the vertical planks side-by-side to form the main body of the door. Ensure they are tightly aligned.
3. Attach Horizontal Braces: Place the top, middle, and bottom horizontal braces across the vertical planks. These braces provide structural integrity. Use a measuring tape to ensure even spacing and alignment.
4. Secure Horizontal Braces: Using wood screws (provided with the door panel, if applicable, or suitable wood screws), attach the horizontal braces to the vertical planks. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent wood splitting.

5. Install Diagonal Z-Braces: Position the diagonal Z-braces. These typically run from the top corner to the middle horizontal brace, and from the middle horizontal brace to the bottom corner, forming a 'Z' shape. Carefully measure and mark their positions to ensure they fit snugly and provide maximum support.
6. Secure Diagonal Braces: Attach the diagonal braces to the vertical planks and horizontal braces using screws. Again, pre-drilling is advised.

8. Prepare for Hardware Installation: The door panel is now assembled. Refer to the instruction manual of your specific sliding door hardware kit for steps on attaching the hangers and installing the rail system.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the door panel is fully assembled and installed with a compatible sliding hardware kit, operation is straightforward:

• To open the door, gently slide it along the top rail in the desired direction.
• To close the door, slide it back until it covers the opening.
• Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance. Check for obstructions or misalignment if movement is not smooth.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your solid pine wood door.

• Cleaning: Wipe the door surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the wood finish.
• Wood Care: As a natural wood product, the door may benefit from occasional treatment with wood oil or wax to maintain its natural finish and protect against moisture.
• Hardware Maintenance: Regularly check the sliding door hardware (rail, hangers, rollers) for tightness and smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the hardware kit manufacturer.
• Environmental Conditions: Wood can react to changes in humidity and temperature. Maintain a stable indoor environment to minimize warping or cracking.
