Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Pick out your hardware and door. There are many to chose from so pick one that fits your home’s style.

Decide how wide you want your door to slide (where you want it to stop). Than mark where you want to place your studs.
Step 3
Measure your doorway.
Step 4
Measure door and subtract difference of sizes of doorway and door and divide by 2. In this example lets say the answer was 2 1/5 inches. So we would start the track 2 1/2 inches from the door.
Step 5
Add the track and mark where the studs need to go.
Step 6
Drill in a pilot hole where the studs will go and drill the large whole in the same spot.
Step 7
Make pilot holes in the wall where your studs will go.
Step 8
Put the spacers on the wall, attached to the track, on the stud marks you have marked on the wall.
Step 9
Add stops on each end.
Step 10
Install hangers on the door.
Step 11
Install back rollers into side of door opening.
