STEP 1

Measure your space

Depth (1)
Start with measuring the depth of your space.This will ensure the correct measurements for depth and widths as walls are not always completely straight. For solutions with closet rod we recommend 675 mm depth. If you are planning for a Triple track solution you need some extra depth since these tracks are deeper.

Height (3)
Measure the height on 3 places (left, right and center). The lowest measurement should be used in order not to make the doors too high.The doors can be adjusted max. 12 mm in order to absorb differences in height.

Width (2)
Measure top and bottom width of your space as the illustration shows. How does a skirting board affect the width? See illustrations below.

  

Slope cut solution

When measuring for Slope cut doors, be sure to measure according to the illustration to the right.

  

With skirting board and stop bar

If you want skirting boards on the inside andoutside of the wardrobe, use a stop bar. It´s anice solution to cover the space between slidingdoor and wall.

Measure the width wall to wall and deduct thetotal depth of the stop bars. Elfa stop bar has adepth of 19 mm.

  

Without skirting board

Let the sliding doors go all the way to the wall byremoving or cutting the skirting board. Measurethe width without skirting board from wall to wall.
