SINGLE & DOUBLE DOOR CONFIGURATIONS
Single Door Installation
The single door installation may be used when there is sufficient wall space to the right OR the left of the wall opening that is at least 6 ” wider than the actual wall opening . For instance , if your wall opening is 36 ” wide , then you should have at least 42 ” of available wall space to the right or to the left of the wall opening .
Consider an extra-wide single door if you have a wider sized opening that has sufficient wall space . If wall space is available on BOTH sides of the opening , you might want to consider a double door installation . Alternatively , if there is little or no wall space on EITHER side of the wall opening , then you might consider the double BYPASS door installation .
Both traditional and Houdini hardware options are available for single door installations .
Double Door Installation
The double door installation may be used when this double door gives the desired appearance and when there is sufficient open wall space on both sides of the door opening . We suggest that this available wall space should be at least 2 ” wider than half the width of the opening . For example , if your opening in the wall is 60 ” wide , then half of this measurement is 30 ”. And you should have at least 32 ” ( 30 ” + 2 ” allowance ) of wall space both to the right side and to the left side of the opening .
For a double door installation , you will need 2 doors and 2 sliding door hardware kits . The rails from each of the 2 kits meet in the center above your wall opening . The Double Door Rail Connector ( see page 10 ) is an available option that mounts across the joined ends of the 2 door rails for a seamless double door configuration .
