TECH TIPS —

Installation tips to avoid sliding into trouble Cavity sliders are a practical space-saving solution and provide years of trouble-free operation if installed correctly. Installation is usually a straightforward exercise, however, over the years CS For Doors has seen some common points that if not considered can lead to problems. Below are a few handy tips that, when followed, will easily avoid any issues. 1. Level the floor under the pocket. Taking time to ensure the floor is level before you start your installation will make the job quicker and easier.

2. Install the cavity slider with the door fitted. This simple step allows you to slide the door open and closed during installation to check that everything lines up correctly and nothing is rubbing. Don’t fix the cavity slider to the floor until the door is running parallel to the cavity pocket.

3. Check clearance before lining. The cavity slider comes with split jambs intentionally ‘rounded out’. This round out is to accommodate any slight bowing of the door leaf and to allow door hardware to clear the jambs. The standard clearance is 5-7mm between door and split jamb using a 38mm door. The supplied ‘jamb spreader’ must be inserted into the cavity slider opening prior to fixing wall linings and architraves. Jambs are rounded out to accommodate any slight bowing of the door leaf and to allow door hardware to clear the jambs. *Based on 38mm door. © Cavity Sliders Limited.

4. Mask the track during building works. Taping up the track ensures the running surface remains free of paint and dust. These contaminants are common causes of noisy operation in a cavity slider. Use the jamb spreader when fixing wall linings to maintain clearance.
