Sliding doors not only look decent in homes, but it also looks decent in closets, pantries, and home offices. One of the most important points to remember is measuring sliding door sizes.

How to measure standard sliding door size?

  1. Take a measuring tape and begin from the left edge of the opening to the right edge. Add 4 to 6 inches extra to determine the door width. 

  2. To determine the size track, double the final width measurement.

  3. To know the length measure from the header to the floor. You should remember that the track will be a little bit away from the opening. You need to have at least a 1.2-inch gap between the floor and the door so that the door opens smoothly.
