INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
V. How To Determine Your Door Size:
Determine the DOOR WIDTH
For a Fully Open installation, it is recommended that the width of the door is at least 8” greater than the width of the wall opening. This type of installation does not block any of the wall opening; the edge of the door is flush with the edge of the wall opening (if the wall is level).
Example: if the wall opening is 30”, then a minimum door size of at least 38” will be needed, allowing for 4 inches on each side of the door.
For a Partially Open installation, it is recommended that the width of the door is at least 8” greater than the width of the opening as well. However, this type of installation does block some of the wall opening; the edge of the door sticking out, not flush with the edge of the wall opening. (For further information on adjusting the distance the door opens & closes, see page 9)
Determine the DOOR HEIGHT
If the Bottom Track is to be attached directly to the bottom of the door (Standard Installation) , measure from the Top Track (installed on the backside of the door) down to the floor and add 1 inch to the height. If casing (wood trim) is present, measure from the top of the casing to the bottom of the finished floor and add 1 inch to the height. If the Bottom Track is to be installed and recessed inside the door (see page 13, “Special Installation”) , measure from the Top Track (installed on the backside of the door) down to the floor and add 2-1/2” to the height . If casing (wood trim) is present, measure from the top of the casing to the bottom of the finished floor and add 2-1/2”.
MAGIC TIP Choosing the correct door size depends upon if your wall opening is surrounded by decorative casing or molding. (Casing cannot be more than 5/8” deep).
