    Nice video, thanks for sharing! For anyone using a similar system: Rebekah has opted to put the bottom guide on the outside. If you're worried about the skirting board getting marked, I'd recommend routing a channel in the bottom of the door and slotting the guide in there. This will also mean the guide is less visible :D

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 4 lety +1

      Ah interesting! I guess i didn't know which side the guide goes on, figured it would keep it from swinging out when it is shut.

      @@HEYMOMHEY neither side. It's designed to run in the centre of the door, requiring a routered channel in the base as explained above

    What do you have on the inside to open and close (and lock?) the door? I want to do this for my bathroom on my main floor. Thank you!

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 6 lety +1

      Hey Lisa! I don’t actually have anything to lock the bathroom door.... if you wanted you could use a hook latch

    This is a great tutorial but what did you do for the hinge and lock holes on the door frame?

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 5 lety +1

      I did't do anything for the lock but you could do a hook and eye style lock

  • @JSUNCHEN1
    @JSUNCHEN1 Před 5 lety

    Can you lock the door since it does not fit into the door frame?

  • @4dave62
    @4dave62 Před 7 lety

    So I wanted to use MDF as the header but I'm worried about the lag screws pulling out of it instead of something like popular. Were you somehow able to hit a stud with your lag screws?

  • @shellyinthestudy
    @shellyinthestudy Před 7 lety

    So I have the same door issue. I want to change French doors into sliding doors, do I need to buy new doors? Or can I use my existing ones and just change the knobs?

    • @fanshowvids
      @fanshowvids Před 7 lety +2

      a little wider than the door frame works best for privacy. it's possible to use the doors you have, but you might need to add a few inches to each side

  • @jdonelson7385
    @jdonelson7385 Před 5 lety

    What if I want to use my original door? I am doing this for my closet in a condo I am leasing. What adjustments would I have to make to make sure the door closes over the door opening?

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 5 lety

      You would have to retrim the door frame if you want it to cover it. The old door is smaller than the frame...

  • @sadiesanders6158
    @sadiesanders6158 Před 4 lety

    Hi there,
    What did you do for the door knob on the inside? How does it not hit the trim each time the door closes. Did you change it out?

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 4 lety

      i put a sliding door circle pull on the inside, so it doesn't bump.

  • @sticknstonesbrkbones
    @sticknstonesbrkbones Před 5 lety +1

    nice job but that last little plastic piece is meant to hold the door in place via a groove cut into the bottom of the door running the width of the door. There are other types of door guides that don't require a groove but instead wrap around the bottom of the door in a u-shape to achieve the same effect. Did you mount the anti jumpers to the top? Those little black discs that come with the rail package.

    How tight is the door to the wall? I want to do this in our very small basement bath that we are adding, but I'm concerned about privacy. Can you see inside the bathroom from the side?

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 5 lety

      karenmlovelady on this one you can a little but if you take off the baseboards it can sit closer to the frame and you could likely figure out a privacy set up. Pocket door would be better for sound and privacy

  • @juliabritton3962
    @juliabritton3962 Před 4 lety

    Is the door not too transparent for a bathroom?

    • @HEYMOMHEY
      @HEYMOMHEY  Před 4 lety

      you can use whatever door you want, this one is frosted glass, it was originally from an old office building in halifax and was used for the washroom door!
