Currently, sliding door designs are very popular. One of their varieties is a pencil case door. In fact, this is an original solution that allows you to give the interior a touch of elegance and sophistication.

It is worth noting that the pencil case door can come with a ready-made cassette or be without it. In the second case, you will have to make the cassette yourself. Regardless of whether the pencil case is made independently or by professional craftsmen, installing such a door system is not an easy task: a novice home craftsman will not be able to complete it properly.

A distinctive feature of this door system is that the door slides into the wall, or, more precisely, into the built-in pencil case. Such a sash does not take up usable area, since in open form she hides in a special niche. And in closed the canvas blocks doorway, protecting the room from unwanted sounds, all kinds of odors, and also provides adequate protection from prying eyes.

The pencil case door has a huge number of advantages, here are some of them:

• There is no need to install a door threshold.
• Saving usable space (the design slides into a cassette).
• The door does not close from a sudden draft, and besides, it can be left ajar.
• Thanks to the presence of a floor controller, the canvas glides smoothly and silently.

Unfortunately, such a door system also has its drawbacks. The most significant drawback is the low sound and heat insulation performance of this design. And besides, without the appropriate knowledge and experience in performing such work, it is quite difficult to cope with the installation of this structure.

Types of cabinet doors

Sliding doors of this type usually consist of a frame, a leaf, guide mechanisms, handles, and a pencil case. Such designs may differ from each other in the number of canvases and cassette design.

The following types of sliding structures are distinguished:

1. Single-leaf blocks.
   Such door system used when the doorway is small (the width of such an opening is usually less than a meter). A single-leaf door frame is attached to the ceiling or wall; in this case, installation of a frame is not required.
2. Double-leaf structures.
   Installation of such doors is recommended in wide doorways. In this case, two cassettes are installed (one canister for each door), and they are connected to each other by a guide.

As for the structure of the niche, it design features depend on the wall to which the cassette will be attached. So, for example, if the wall is not load-bearing, it can be dismantled and in place of the old one, a partition with a niche can be erected, the dimensions of which will correspond to the dimensions of the canvas. Such a partition is called a false wall, it will be a pencil case for sliding door. In this case, it is possible to preserve the usable area of ​​the room, and the thickness of the wall remains unchanged.

If the wall is load-bearing, a frame is attached to it, which is sheathed with plasterboard. And the structure is puttyed on top and covered with wallpaper or painted.

Self-made or ready-to-install sliding system canisters are installed only after the final leveling of the floor, that is, when the finished floor level has been established (including the thickness of the substrate is known, as well as flooring).

Installation of the door system is carried out as follows:

1. Measurements are taken.
   For these purposes, the parameters of the door leaf are measured and these dimensions are transferred to the guides. The length of the guide should be equal to twice the width of the sash.
2. Mark the profile and cut out these structural elements.
   When erecting a false wall, two rows of metal profiles will be required. If they make an overlay on an already existing wall, it is quite enough to assemble one row of metal profiles. In both the first and second cases, the profiles are fastened to the floor, ceiling and wall.
3. In order for the canvas to slide smoothly and silently, when attaching the frame to the floor and ceiling, a technical plug or rubber layer should be placed between these elements.
4. Install sliding mechanism and hang door leaf.
   The leaf must be installed in such a way that the gap between the floor and the door is no more than 5 mm (in this case, the soundproofing properties of the door block will increase). At the same stage, the door travel is adjusted: it will not be possible to perform this operation after completing the installation work (unless you have to disassemble the “wall”).
5. Cover the frame with plasterboard.
   They plaster and finish it (the decor should be made to match the wall framing the doorway).

It is necessary to take into account that the niche should be 2 cm wider than the door leaf. The width of the niche is calculated taking into account the width of the sash: in practice, the depth of the niche is 4-8 cm.

The pencil case door (provided that its installation is done correctly) will last quite a long time. The smoothness of the door movement is ensured by a roller mechanism. It should be noted that various models mechanisms differ in their load capacity, therefore, before choosing one or another mechanism, you need to find out what the mass of the sash is (this will ensure long-term operation door design).

In turn, the roller mechanism is equipped with several adjustment screws, with which you can adjust the vertical position of the web (up to 2 cm). So, for example, if the pencil case door was installed before completing finishing floor, due to reduced height doorway the blade will be located too low (in this case, to adjust the position, loosen or tighten the adjusting screws).

If, after such an adjustment, it is not possible to solve this problem, the sash will need to be sawed from the top or bottom (but you need to file no more than 15 mm). If the gap is too large (if after adjustment it was not possible to correct the situation), you need to fix a small block at the bottom or top of the leaf and tint this part of the sash to match the door. Much the situation is more complicated the situation with glass door. If the dimensions of the canvas do not correspond to the doorway, the niche will have to be altered to fit the dimensions of the door.

When creating a frame, too thin is used metallic profile(up to 0.5 mm thick), bars will be needed to strengthen it. If such a structure is not strengthened, the partition will vibrate during movement of the web, and in addition, over time, the guide will sag.

To prevent distortions from occurring, during installation of the door structure it is recommended to temporarily secure the opening with a spacer tie. If desired, you can make such a spacer yourself: for this you will need a metal profile or a wooden block.

In addition, it is extremely important to correctly calculate the width of the pencil case. If the cassette is too narrow, the canvas will constantly catch door frame. And if the pencil case is too wide, the soundproofing properties of the door block significantly deteriorate, and the appearance of such a design leaves much to be desired.

Moreover, when installing a sliding door that goes into the wall, you should worry in advance about attaching special fittings to the door that would prevent the door from going completely into the niche. Essentially, such fittings (usually a special door knob) is a kind of door stop.

Sliding type design – perfect solution For small room. It looks stylish: such a door system will easily fit into any interior. The main thing is to install it correctly and use the door carefully, only if these conditions are met. door block will last for many years.

However, it is worth considering that installing a cabinet door with your own hands is not easy. This issue must be approached very seriously, having studied the information and found out all the subtleties of its installation.

Advantages and disadvantages of a pencil case door

The pencil case door has a number of advantages over other types of doors:

Scheme of a pencil case with dimensions for an interior door.

• when opening, the door slides into a specially equipped niche or cassette, thereby significantly saving the usable space of the room, which is very important in small apartments and offices;
• does not slam shut when exposed to air flow;
• due to the presence of a floor controller, the door leaf moves smoothly and silently;
• no threshold setting required.

The disadvantages of doors of this type include:

• low sound insulation;
• complexity of installation, since it requires certain experience and skills to install it.

Main types of door frames

Types of doors - pencil cases.

Sliding special niche into which it will move opened door. These niches can be made in different ways.

If the wall towards which the door is supposed to move is not load-bearing, then it can be dismantled and in its place a new wall partition with a niche for the door leaf, the so-called false wall, can be erected. That is, the pencil case for the door will act as a partition. In this case, you can save the space of the room without increasing the thickness of the wall.

If the wall is load-bearing or for some reason its dismantling is impossible, then a wooden or metal carcass, which is then covered with plasterboard.

What might be required for the job?

Sliding door mechanism diagram.

Pencil cases for sliding doors, completely ready for installation, can be purchased in the store. However, they are very massive and have a fairly high cost. Making a pencil case will cost almost twice as much. It is possible to install a pencil door yourself, but this requires some experience and knowledge. Installation should begin at the stage of work on final leveling floor. The pencil case should be erected when the level of the finished floor is known, down to the thickness of the floor covering and underlay.

To work you will need:

• door leaf, handles, locking mechanism;
• platbands, additions;
• galvanized steel profiles;
• hammer drill, screwdriver;
• fasteners;
• sliding mechanism kit with guide;
• pencil, level, tape measure.

Table of correspondence between the sizes of door blocks and openings.

1. Produce necessary measurements. You should measure the door leaf and measure desired length guide. It should be equal to two lengths of the door leaf.
2. Mark and cut profiles. When constructing a false wall, it is necessary to make two rows of profiles. If you are making a frame overlay on an existing wall, you should assemble one row of profiles. In both cases, profiles are fixed to the ceiling, floor and wall. The niche should be on average 20 mm wider than the door leaf, and deeper than half its width. As a rule, leave a margin of about 4-8 cm. To prevent the characteristic hum and vibration from appearing during operation of the door, during installation it is necessary to place wooden blocks. You can make the movement of the door leaf silent as follows. When securing the frame to the ceiling and floor, you need to lay a rubber layer or a layer of technical cork between them.
3. Install the sliding mechanism and hang the door leaf. The door must be installed so that the gap between it and the floor is no more than 5-6 mm. In this case, the soundproofing ability of the door will improve. Adjust the movement of the door, eliminating the possibility of friction of its surface against the frame. This must be done before covering it, since after all work with drywall is completed it will no longer be possible to adjust the door leaf.
4. Cover the frame with plasterboard, plaster it, finish the walls and install platbands.

Some features of installing a pencil case door

Frame diagram for a sliding door.

The cabinet door is equipped with a mechanism with a roller suspension. This device does not require special attention and frequent maintenance, it can last for quite a long period. The ease and smooth movement of the door leaf is ensured due to the fact that the rollers of this mechanism have not only large diameter, but also equipped with polymer tires and steel rolling bearings. Various models have this mechanism various indicators load capacity. Therefore, when choosing it, you need to know the weight of the door leaf in order to ensure high-quality and long-term operation of the suspension.

The roller mechanism has adjusting screws that allow you to change the vertical position of the door leaf up to 2 cm. Sometimes the cabinet door is installed before the floor is finished and the door may be too low due to its increased height. Then you can adjust the blade using screws roller mechanism. If this does not help, then the door leaf needs to be filed a little at the top and bottom, but no more than 1.5 cm, thereby reducing its height. Otherwise, after laying the flooring, a significant gap may form between the door and the floor. If it cannot be adjusted with screws, then a block can be attached to the bottom of the door leaf and tinted to match the color of the door. The situation with a glass door is much more complicated. If its dimensions do not fit the opening and niche, then the pencil case will have to be completely redone.

If inexpensive thin profiles up to 0.5 mm thick are used in the manufacture of the frame, then they must be strengthened with bars. Otherwise, the movement of the door leaf may create vibration in the partition and also lead to sagging of the guide.

To prevent distortions and violation of the vertical position of the jambs during the installation process, temporary fixation of the doorway with a spacer tie is required. You can make it yourself from steel profile or a block.

When installing the door, you should very accurately determine the width of the pencil case. If a niche is installed that is too narrow, the door will cling to the frame, and disproportionately wide gaps will worsen the insulating properties of the structure and spoil the appearance.

Door to open state should not completely go into the niche, otherwise it will be problematic to close it and will require the use additional accessories. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the extreme position.

The pencil case is installed on a completely finished, perfectly flat floor. It is worth taking into account all the nuances during the installation of the structure before covering it. Because, after the work is completed, it will be possible to fix anything only by disassembling the frame wall again.

A pencil door is an excellent solution for rooms with a small area.

However, its installation requires some experience and a serious approach. By installing a pencil case door with your own hands, you can save a lot of money, make it stylish, in accordance with your preferences, and fit into any interior.
