- Always measure the door jamb from top to bottom and left to right. This ensures you order the correct size bypass doors. The doors will slide behind one another. However, there must be enough room in the frame for both doors to stand side-by-side.
- For the bypass doors to slide past one another efficiently and smoothly, tracks must be laid at the top and bottom of the door jamb. Standard tracks for jambs are 48 to 96 inches in length. The tracks must be measured and mounted into the door jamb with screws or bolts.
- Bypass doors run along the top and bottom of the door jamb via wheels that are mounted to the top and bottom of each door. These wheels are most commonly four-wheeled ball-bearing hangers with removable hanger plates, so the doors can be easily installed onto the tracks. Hangers vary in height for precision door alignment.
