How to determine the height and width of doors for the closet?

Repair - a long process and it is difficult to keep everything under control. The selection and purchase of furniture - a stage that brings you directly to the pleasing results of operations. But even calculate the exact dimensions of the furniture and its parts can be confusing. To prevent this, it is necessary to know the correct and consistent action.

Closets for modern apartments

Closets have become an integral part of modern apartments because of its functionality and usability

Closets for a long time and become part of our lives. Their simplicity, durability, affordability and functionality captivated many. Determination of measurement sufficiently clear and everyday business, but the calculation of the size of the cabinet doors coupé makes you wonder.

Determination of the height of the compartment doors

Height sliding doors

The height of the sliding door compartment can be obtained by the formula

Great mistake is to believe that the calculation of the height of the door is identical to the measurement procedure of the whole cabinet. The second mistake may be the choice of the height of the product, which is equal to the maximum height of the room.

Structural elements of the door

Structural elements that make up the compartment door nizhneopornaya

For a correct measurement of the height of the opening should adhere to the following tips.

  1. Take measurements at three points - two side parts and in the center. In the preparation of the same parameters can be confident in the calculation ease.
    Determining the size of the opening

    Determining the size of the opening are carried out on several levels to identify the possible options discrepancies

  2. Taking into account the separateness of some elements and not to attribute to them.
  • The thickness of the cover.
  • Dimensions of thickness lower guide roller with structure.
  • The gap between the lower guide and the web.
  • Read off the necessary clearance for the door mounting (approximately 14 mm).
for wardrobes Doors

for wardrobes doors consist of a frame - vertical, upper, lower profile and filling (glass / mirror or chipboard)

The role of the top guide for sliding doors

The main function of the direction for the wardrobe - easy and accessible their opening and closing. The basis of this system are rails on which move the sash. Also, there are many additional details.

The upper guide

The upper guide - its role in holding the door from falling

Dimensions guides for doors is entirely dependent on the size of the doors themselves. Basically, there is no need to buy them separately from the furniture, since they are included. But if you yourself have made the cabinet, or the old part out of order, it is necessary to measure it.

Purpose of the top guide - fixing the top of the cabinet. And also, by means of rollers, the movement of the doors.

Their installation is made by means of conventional screws. Sequence fixing process.

  1. Using a drill hole generated in the guide (size 4 mm). The distance between each 30 cm.
    Fixing Aiming

    The guides are fastened with screws to press the puck with a pitch of about 300 mm

  2. In the application of the universal screw should, in each hole, further, make a countersink. She needed for fastener elements.
  3. Insertion guides prepared in the enclosure portion.
  4. Alignment and fixation fasteners (preferably screws).

Determination width closet doors

We calculate the width of the door

Determine the height of cabinet compartment flaps and the width of the forward door of the formulas

The accuracy of measuring the width of the door of the compartment depends on the already known formality to you. It is important to reconcile the results of measurement, namely, making them 3 times and in different parts. This simple procedure can save you from misconceptions.

The dimensions of sliding doors

The specific dimensions depend on the sliding doors moving webs embodiment and features sliding system

A distinctive feature of this stage will record the number of door partitions. You need to follow the following sequence.

  1. The total width of all metering opening.

  2. Section specific figure on the number of valves.
    calculation formula

  3. To the obtained digit (as a result of fission), such further added components:
  • + Overlap between doors. It hides the inner space.
  • + Add certain to the side of the door.

Calculating the size of the overlap of the sliding doors asymmetric profile

The doors are overlapping,

To become doors overlap and do not interfere with each other it is necessary that the rear rail has been removed from the front

Sliding of the enclosure is designed with the intended use it in an open and closed position. It is mandatory condition in which the profile of one of the valves closes the second surface.

Determination of the size of overlap of doors simple: opening width is halved (assuming flatness enclosure) and added to the size of the handle. With these simple calculations we determine the width of the overlap.

Overlap sliding doors

The size of the overlap of the sliding doors asymmetric profile

Provided that if the profile is asymmetrical, the aperture width is measured separately for the top and bottom and each door.

Asymmetrical profile handle

The cross section profile of the asymmetric handle

Also, for ease of calculation, some masters are quite simple rule. It goes like this: the size of the overlap should be equal to the width of the door handle.

Conditions that may affect the amount of overlap of sliding doors:

  • size fittings;
  • the dimensions of the handle;
  • number of slats;
  • availability of Schlegel (detail that softens the blow when opening doors).

Proper execution of calculations provide convenient use of the furniture.

Drawer

To determine the size of the box, it is necessary to determine their location. at its discretion, also should choose the size of the future of storage space. After these "air data" turns into numbers. With roulette make measurements similar to the door.

Calculation of crates height

Calculation of the height of the drawers details

The box itself is made up of strips which have their width. Because of this part, the box can not fit. Therefore it is necessary to know the width of the material and take it into account. In most cases, the width of the drawer 5 mm longer rails.

Full algorithm for calculating the size of the box to the cabinet

  • Subtract the thickness of the central wall and laterally of the total width of the cabinet.
  • From the obtained numbers take width of fabric and divided into sections.

Thus, we found the width of the shelves themselves.

For vyschityvaniya space under boxes should take off the shelf width of about 35 mm. This is the width of the box in a shelf. The need to go on grabbing the need to open the box, not engaging the door.
