Sacar Sliding Door Kit: Easy Installation Guide 2026

Do you have an open bookshelf and want to turn it into a wardrobe? Or do you need to make opening a two-door wardrobe easier in a tight space? For these and many other furniture modification or assembly projects, the Sacar Due Model B Sliding Door Kit lets you install two doors that slide and pack together on one side (right or left, your choice).

One door is hinged conventionally to the wardrobe side, using standard clip-on hinges. The second door connects to the first via the book hinges included in the kit, while the overhanging side uses additional hinges to glide along the track and support rails, guiding smooth opening and closing.

What’s in the Sliding Door Kit

The package includes:

• 2 aluminum rails (one U-shaped for the top, one L-shaped for the bottom) with sliders
• 3 clip-on hinges
• 2 book hinges

The rails are 1000 mm long; the system works for doors up to 2 m in height.

Precise Measurements Are Key

First, hold the guide bar against the wardrobe front to measure the usable width. Cut off any excess from both bars using a hacksaw, then drill holes for fixing the guides—one every 15 cm—and countersink each hole. Countersinking with conical-head screws prevents the heads from obstructing the trolley movement. The L-profile at the bottom and U-profile at the top must sit at the exact distance from the front edge as shown in the assembly instructions.

Attach the included clip-on hinges to the second door (the sliding one). There are three hinges: two go at the top and bottom, and one in the middle. For a smooth installation, ensure your tools and hardware are up to the task.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Prepare the Rails

Measure and cut the aluminum rails to match your wardrobe width. Use a fine-tooth hacksaw for clean cuts. Deburr the edges with a file.

2. Mount the Top Rail

Position the U-shaped rail at the top front of the wardrobe. Mark and drill holes every 15 cm, countersink them, and secure with conical-head screws. Make sure the rail is level.

3. Mount the Bottom Rail

Repeat the process for the L-shaped rail at the bottom, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the top rail. This step is crucial for smooth sliding. Consider using a spirit level to double-check alignment.

4. Attach Hinges to the Sliding Door

Fix the three clip-on hinges to the second door—two near the top and bottom edges, one in the center. These will connect to the wardrobe side panel.

5. Connect the Doors

Hinge the first door to the wardrobe side using standard hinges. Then attach the second door to the first using the book hinges. Finally, connect the sliding door’s overhanging side to the rails using the remaining hardware.

6. Test and Adjust

Slide the doors open and closed. If they stick or rub, adjust the hinge screws and rail positions slightly. For a perfect finish, consider adding matching curtains or a rug to complement your new wardrobe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this kit on any wardrobe?

Q: Do I need special tools?

A: You’ll need a hacksaw, drill, screwdriver, file, and measuring tape. A countersink bit is highly recommended for the screw holes.

A: Yes, the kit is designed for either left or right packing. Just reverse the hinge and rail installation accordingly.

Q: How do I clean and maintain the rails?
