We will not dwell on the finishing of tiles or wallpaper, but pay special attention to how the sliding door is installed with our own hands using a false box.

The false box is installed in a pre-prepared doorway and fixed with special wedges. In order to correctly control the current installation, it is necessary to use a level and a plumb line.

For rollers there are special fasteners, which, like the first, come complete with the whole structure. Most often, a mortise knob is installed - so the door will be more convenient to open.
