Sliding Wardrobe Doors ...

Is Failure Knocking on Your Door?

Find Out Why Cheap Sliding Wardrobe Doors fail

and what to do to avoid costly Mistakes!

I was watching the ABC the other night.

Yes, I do watch that channel and the main story was about replacing rooftop solar panels when they were only 3-4 years old. People had been told the panels should last at least 10 years. Many people had invested heavily in what they thought was quality and the panels only had a 12 month guarantee. There was some very upset customers and lots of wasted dollars - Failure Came Knocking.

This reminded me of a customer we helped in North Perth recently. He had two very large mirror doors that had failed, they were way too heavy for the flimsy wheels. The wheels had worn down and the doors were scraping on the bottom track. For the owner, those doors were a total waste of money, as the doors were not that old. This is typically bad design and cheap components. This is a fairly common issue. Failure Came Knocking. We replaced the two massive doors with three smaller quality doors.

You love your home and are proud of your home, the last thing you want to do is make the wrong choice in doors and waste money. After all, they are one of the main features in most rooms. I was in a multi million dollar house recently and the sliding doors were painted gyprock. We have been told that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but these were just bad. Mind boggling bad. A classic case of cheap doors. Failure Came Knocking.

Some door manufacturers build down to a price. At The Wardrobe Man will simply build our doors to our ...

Unique Quality Standard.

Yes! I hear you say there is a price difference. The price difference is that little bit extra you pay - the price gap between the cheap and quality. Sometimes the cheap ends up costing more in the long run. Below are a number of factors that we encourage you to consider when buying sliding doors.

Steel v Plastic

Check out the two images below. As you can see, the wheel on the left is in a steel casing, while the other is a cheap wheel with plastic housing that as you can see, has failed. Yes, its FLAT on the bottom!

Sliding Wardrobe Door Wheels - Steel Casing

Rigid Steel Chassis Construction

Note the Adjustable Mechanism so you can raise, lower or tilt the doors for that not so square or out of Plumb wall.

Hardened Steel Chassis with Acetal Plastic Wheels. Polyoxymethylene also known as acetal plastic is a thermoplastic material that is widely used in automotive and electronic industries.

Sliding Wardrobe Door Wheels Made From Cheap Plastic

Plastic Chassis Construction

No Adjustment Mechanism.

Unknown Quality Soft Plastic Wheels often wear out early.

Cheap Sliding Wardrobe Door Components will wear out quickly and fail sooner as displayed above. NB These wheels were removed from a house in North Perth and were replaced with a quality set of doors from The Wardrobe Man.

"I am thrilled with the finished product.
I get so many positive comments. Thank you to the team at Wardrobe Man,
your service and product was outstanding!"

Silent Smooth Top Wheels v Noisey Plastic Head Guide

Check out the two images below, the one on the left is a set of wheels we install at the top of all our doors. These ensure that your doors will run smooth and silently for years to come. Displayed on the right side are the alternative to the quality wheels.

Four Quality Wheels

At the top of all our sliding doors we install four small wheels.

This is designed to make sure the doors run smoothly and quietly.

NB: The exception to our rule ... Our Slimline Doors do not have these wheels. Due to the design of the Slimline doors, there is no room in the head channel.

Plastic Head Guide

The alternative to quality wheels are the above plastic blocks or head guides. These are installed in the top of the sliding wardrobe door to keep the door from scraping along the the head channel. Noisy Doors.

Another difference between a quality built door and a cheaper door.

"We are extremely happy with the glass sliding doors fitted by Kevin and his team they kept us fully informed during the whole process. While we weren't quite sure on the best solution for our needs, Kevin was able to show us several options. This made our job of choosing the right doors a lot easier. Very professional from the beginning to the end. Thank you to Kevin, Lynda and the rest of the team on a job well done..

Does Size Matter?

Yes! Size does matter! Building Sliding Doors that are oversize can cause two major problems.

Warping and Over Weight Doors slowly damages the wheels.

Sometimes to keep the cost down in building, it is cheaper to build two doors instead of three doors or three instead of four, but by doing this you run the risk of the following problems occuring ...

Bendy or Flexible doors. As I get older it's good to be flexible, but in doors, No! Too much flex and the sliding doors are prone to warping. We have seen doors where one door rubs against the other. There's not much space between the doors and if this happens one door will develop deep scratches on its front and the end result is a replacement door or a new set of doors to avoid the problems.
We are Weight Watchers. When we make a set of doors we carefully calculate the weight of the doors and ensure that the wheels we use will not be overloaded. We will watch your door weight and ensure that we do not overload those wheels. After all we all want them to last.

Functionality?

Have you considered the design of the wardrobe?

Are three doors on three track system better than three doors on a two track system?

Make sure you discuss the design with one of our experts to ensure those shoe racks and drawers will pull out, once the doors are installed.

"We are delighted with our new wardrobe sliders. The design, appearance and especially the quality is first rate. The installation was challenging given the access to our upstairs bedroom and high ceilings dealing with very tall & heavy doors. However the team troubleshot all the challenges very professionally. They look and function extremely well. Thank you."

Product Selection?

Are Sliding Mirror Doors still on trend?

In years gone by the customer had two choices, Mirror Doors or Vinyl Coated Gyprock. This was because the glazier typically supplied the sliding doors.

It was easier for the builder to use the glazier and for a glazier a mirror door was cheap and easy.

With the development of our unique CNC technology in building doors, we can offer Perth the largest range of doors and styles.

We can offer you a selection of 250 plus products from Laminex, Formica, Polytec and Egger. From High Gloss to Matt, Textured Colours to Woodgrains ... the choice is yours.
