The door can be flipped in either direction to suit your preference, and a pre-made groove is present at the bottom for the floor guide.
- Assemble Door Panels: Carefully arrange the spruce wood panels according to the pattern shown in the detailed instruction manual. Use the provided screws to secure the panels together. Ensure all connections are tight but do not overtighten.
- Attach Hangers to Doors: Once the door panels are fully assembled, attach the hangers to the top edge of each door using the designated pre-drilled holes and screws. Ensure they are securely fastened and aligned.
- Install Track System:
- Locate the studs in your wall where the track will be mounted.
- Connect the two 6.6 FT track sections to form the 13.2 FT track. Use the provided connector plate and screws.
- Hold the assembled track against the wall at the desired height. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the drilling points for the spacers. Drill pilot holes as recommended in the detailed manual.
- Attach the track to the wall using the spacers and screws, ensuring it is firmly mounted.
- Hang Doors: Carefully lift each assembled door and hook the hangers onto the installed track.
- Install Floor Guides: Position the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening, aligning them with the pre-made groove on the bottom edge of each door. Secure them to the floor according to the manual's instructions.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the spruce wood doors with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners on the track system and door hangers. Tighten any loose components to ensure continued safe operation.
- Track Lubrication: If the doors begin to stick or become difficult to slide, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the track to improve smoothness.
- Wood Care: Spruce wood is durable, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture can affect its appearance. Consider applying a wood sealant or stain if you wish to customize or further protect the wood.
