How to Install Your Closet Sliding Doors Yourself
The online order is pickup only in Concord, with your custom, made-to-measure doors ready for pickup in 48 hours, so installing your closet sliding doors is a self-install job. Here's what to expect.
Before you start
York does not install online orders.
York does not install doors ordered through the online path. If you'd rather not install it yourself, arrange your own installer or contractor before your pickup date.
What's in your order: your order includes the doors and the hardware needed to hang them. Exactly what's in the box depends on which product family you ordered: Mirror, Panel, Modern Panel (MP) or BPG. {{TBD: the parts list for each product family, to check against on pickup}}
Tools you'll likely need: a screwdriver or drill, a level, a tape measure, and a pencil. Basic hand tools are enough for most installs.
What the install involves
Five steps, in order.
Mount the top track
Level and secure. {{TBD: fastening method, spacing and leveling tolerance for this product}}
Mount the bottom track or guide
If your model uses one. {{TBD: which product families include a bottom track or guide}}
Hang the panels
Onto the track. {{TBD: roller and panel hanging procedure}}
Adjust and test
That the doors slide smoothly and close evenly, adjusting the rollers as needed. {{TBD: roller adjustment procedure}}
[DIAGRAM NEEDED: an exploded view of the track, rollers and panel for each product family]
[DIAGRAM NEEDED: step-by-step illustration of mounting the top track and hanging a panel]
[PHOTO NEEDED: a finished, installed sliding door for each product family: Mirror, Panel, Modern Panel (MP), BPG]
It depends on the product family and how comfortable you are with basic tools. Take it one step at a time and don't rush the track mounting, since everything else follows from it being level.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.

A screwdriver or drill, a level, a tape measure and a pencil.

Can I install this without help?
Most self-installers manage on their own with basic tools, but a second pair of hands makes hanging the panels easier.
