Cavity Slider Instal problems
Help me!!
I just dont get these things
Firstly, they are supplied without instructions!! Great...normally dont read them anyway... but right now I could use them.
Here is my problem - I have pulled the wall down, made a lintel, and plumbed up the frame. This was the easy part
The part that is perplexing is that the frame has pre screwed screws to hang the track from. But how these things are made, you cant get a screw driver into these screws to tighten them and thats just the start of my problems
Is there an instruction sheet for these things that anyone knows about?
or
can some one run me through the process?/
Cheers

PS My other problems include
* What are the wedges for in the parts kit?
* The track extends out of the frame, which I have attached to a a piece of timber that I have extended from the frame - Is this right
* How do I make the door hang correctly - is there any tricks

Here are some photos to help you guys help me
The frame of the door went in very easily.. it is plumb/square and secure. (this was checked with a plumb bob this morning!)
The tin strip that acts as the runner is attached on the inside of the frame - and I am planning (if its the right thing to do) is extend a piece of pine out to attach the rail too
Here is where I will extend it from
Here is another angle
Thanks in advance

You should have a head which will be 2 pieces of timber joined in an L shape.You need to fix this to the cavity unit and the jamb on th eother side,and hang the track of this.

I bought it off Doors Plus - I think it is a Noble door - It costs me $235 including the door!
I have it up now, and the best advice I can offer - Is keep it square - I had all types of issues with the current space being out of kilter... as soon as I made the HEAD as mentioned above it all made sense
Had to use a lot of "Packing" but got there in the end
Good luck with your project

thanks for that....doors plus is where we are going to head as well. They are advertising up to 50% off some doors at the moment, so we might be buying a few and a new servery window if they sell those.
cheers for the advice
