ADD THE

VAL ANCE

The valance is heavy.

You’ll need a helper to

set it on the cabinet. Then

just center it and screw it

into place through the

cabinet top.

b

INSTALL

THE TRACK

The doors glide on stan-

dard hardware, the kind

typically used for closet

doors. Screw the rollers

to the doors and mount

the tracks inside the

valance. The two sections

of track meet at the

center of the valance,

leaving a gap at the outer

ends.

b

HANG THE

DOORS

Slip the rollers into the

track and check the fit of

the doors. Adjusting the

doors is a trial-and-error

process. Unlike with a

typical closet, the

valance doesn’t allow

access to the adjustment

nuts. So you’ll have to

remove the door, make

adjustments—and repeat.

Don’t forget to add the

stop blocks or the doors

will roll off the tracks

(see Figure A).
