 How do I measure?

See Measuring Diagram at Bottom of Page

How much space is needed above the opening?

Depends on the hardware, approximately 5-9 inches.  Our standard hardware requires 5-1/2" above the door for hardware clearance.

How thick are your doors?

Our doors come standard at 1-1/2″

My opening has trim, do your spacers accommodate this?

Yes, our hardware is manufactured to clear any standard molding, trim, or door frame on an existing doorway. The standard spacer is 1-1/2″.

I have a custom job, are you able to build doors specific to my need?

Absolutely!

How much does the hardware weigh?

A standard set of hardware will weigh between 10-14lbs, depending on the style. The rail is on average an additional 8-12lbs depending on the length.

How much does the door weigh?

Depending on the size of the door, the door will weigh anywhere from 35-45lbs.
